MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1.
HYDRAULIC MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE:
Step 1 Check that tachometer reads 1620-1720 rpm.
Use throttle to adjust engine speed.
Step 2 Check to be sure bypass valve is closed.
Close bypass valve.
Step 3 Check oil level by removing cap and checking dipstick in hydraulic tank.
Add oil if needed (see LO 5-3895-372-12).
Step 4 Check filter for clogging.
Replace clogged filter (see TM 5-3895-372-10).
Step 5 Check hydraulic pump drive belt tension. Belts should deflect 5/32 in. (4.0mm) when
6 lb (27 N-m) pressure is applied.
Adjust drive belts (para 417).
Step 6. Check PTO drive belt tension. Belts should deflect 5/32 in. (,1.0 mm) when 6 lb
(27 N-m) pressure is applied.
Adjust drive belts (para 4-11).
Step 7 Check that proper type of hydraulic oil is being used. (See LO 5-3895-372-12.)
Fill system with correct oil.
Step 8 Check hydraulic lines for oil leaks.
Replace leaking lines on couplings (para 10-15).
Step 9 Check for air leaks at hydraulic pump intake.
Replace leaking line or coupling (para 10-15).
Step 10 Check hydraulic line oil pressure (10-10). Pressure should be 1900-2000 psi
(13,100-13,800 kPa).
Adjust pressure valve (para 10-10).
