Introduction

When testing and adjusting the transmission and power train, move the
machine to an area clear of obstructions, with safe exhaust ventilation
for the exhausts. Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil
under pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To
prevent possible injury, do the procedure that follows before testing and
adjusting the transmission and power train.

Personal injury can result from spring force released when removing
cap screws.

Internal spring force will be released when cylinder assembly cap screws
are removed causing injury.

Always restrain cover as cap screws are loosened.

Follow the established procedure in the Service Manual to service these

parts.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair
of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

The following test is used to test the transmission pressures.

Test Preparation
Before you begin this procedure, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation".

1. Operate the machine until the transmission oil is at operating temperature of 75 °C to 90 °C

(167 °F to 194 °F).

2. Stop the machine on a hard level surface. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL. Stop the engine.
Place blocks in front of the wheels and place blocks behind the wheels.

Test Procedure
1. Attach Tooling (A) or (B) to test ports (8) and (5). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission in NEUTRAL. Tooling (A) or (B) should read 2480 ± 70 kPa (360 ± 10 psi). Record
the pressure readings in Table 1. Remove Tooling (A) or (B).

2. Attach Tooling (A) or (B) to test port (1), (6), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission in FIRST GEAR FORWARD. Tooling (A) or (B) should read 1925 ± 220 kPa
(280 ± 32 psi) for test port (1) and 2480 ± 70 kPa (360 ± 10 psi) for test ports (6) and (7). Record the
pressure readings in Table 1. Remove Tooling (A) or (B) from test port (1).

3. Attach Tooling (A) or (B) to test ports (3), (6), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission in FIRST GEAR REVERSE. Tooling (A) or (B) should read 1925 ± 220 kPa
(280 ± 32 psi) for test port (3) and 2480 ± 70 kPa (360 ± 10 psi) for test ports (6) and (7). Record the
pressure readings in Table 1. Remove Tooling (A) or (B) from test ports (3) and (6).

4. Attach Tooling (A) or (B) to test ports (2), (4), and (7). Operate the engine at high idle with the
transmission in SECOND GEAR FORWARD. Tooling (A) or (B) should read 1925 ± 220 kPa
(280 ± 32 psi) for test port (2) and 2480 ± 70 kPa (360 ± 10 psi) for test ports (4) and (7). Record the
pressure readings in Table 1. Remove tooling (A) or (B).

5. Stop the engine.

6. Install the cover (9) and the differential drive shaft.

Note: If all the pressure readings are not within the specified pressure ranges listed in Table 2, the main
relief valve may need to be adjusted. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Power Train Charge System
Pressure - Test and Adjust" for information about adjusting the main relief valve. The Testing and
Adjusting, "Fill Time for the Transmission Clutch - Calibrate" procedure will not affect the top pressure of
the clutch.

Note: If some of the pressure readings are not within the specified pressure ranges listed in Table 2, those
modulating valves may need to be replaced.
