FIELD TESTING
5-5.1
In the event operation of the crane becomes slow or sluggish it is advisable to check the condition of the
hydraulic system. Follow the procedure below:
a.
Disconnect the inlet (pressure) line at the control valve bank. Tee a 0-3000 psi gauge in at this point and
reconnect the pressure line.
b.
Operate the boom control to "up." When the boom reaches its maximum travel, continue to hold the control
lever to "up." The gauge should quickly rise to the setting of the main relief valve.
