SERVICE MANUALCALIBRATIONSection 5INJECTION PUMP CALIBRATIONFollowing injection pump or governor service andoverhaul, the pump must be recalibrated to establishcorrect internal timing, fuel delivery and governoroperation. It is also recommended that pump calibrationbe checked on a calibrating stand anytime the injectionpump is removed to perform engine service operations.IMPORTANTFOR PROPER INJECTION PUMPOPERATION IT IS NECESSARY THATCALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENTCHECKS ARE PERFORMED INSEQUENCE, AS OUTLINED IN THISSECTION.NOTE: Refer to individual pump calibration charts anddata sheets (at end of this section) for specificationsmentioned throughout this section.CALIBRATING STANDA calibration stand with 10 HP or more is recommended.Existing stands of 5 HP are acceptable.When installing the pump on the test stand followinstructions furnished with the stand.Figure 1. Pump on Calibration StandCalibrating Stand MaintenanceThe calibrating stand must be kept in good operatingcondition. Maintenance checks and lubrication of teststand components must be performed periodically toassure satisfactory results. Calibrating oil must be of thespecified type. Calibrating oil and filter must be changedregularly. Transfer (supply) pump must maintainminimum specified pressure since injection pumpcalibration depends upon correct supply pump oilpressure.To assure uniform delivery, calibrating stand test nozzlesshould be tested for balance (equal delivery) every sixmonths or whenever 200 pumps have been tested. Themethod for balancing the test nozzles is as follows:a.Adjust all test nozzles to specified testnozzle opening pressure. (See PumpStand Manual.)b.Install an injection pump on calibratingstand.c.Perform the "Maximum Fuel DeliveryCheck" and record amount of fuel obtainedfrom No. 1 pumping element.d.Install each of the remaining test nozzles inthe No. 1 nozzle position and note deliveryfrom each nozzle. If necessary, adjustnozzle opening pressure to obtain sameflow as recorded for nozzle No. 1 (Step c.).Nozzles must be balanced to within 0.5cm3per 1000 strokes.e.After nozzle balance (uniform delivery) hasbeen obtained, recheck opening pressureof all nozzles. If nozzle opening pressure isnot within specified limits (3000 25 psi),nozzle should be repaired or replaced.MOUNTING ON STANDBefore mounting the pump on stand, make sure pumpcamshaft can be rotated more then 360°. This isespecially important when the pump has beenoverhauled.When installing pump on stand follow instructions withstand.CGES-375Printed in United States of AmericaPage 1
