Rotating fan blades can result in personal injury or death.

Stop the engine and allow the fan to come to a complete stop before
making any test or adjustment.

Before starting the engine, make sure all of the finger guards are
installed securely. Do not allow any tools or test equipment to protrude
or vibrate into the path of the rotating fan blades.

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, oil is cool before
removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when
the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with
your bare hand.

4. Place the steering frame lock in the LOCKED position.

Reference: For information about preparing a machine for troubleshooting, refer to the Testing and
Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting" for the machine that is being serviced.

5. In order to check the speed of the hydraulic fan motor, use a 9U-7400 Multitach. The multitach
measures the rpm of the hydraulic fan.

Reference: Special Instruction, NEHS0605, "9U-7400 Multitach II Group and 9U-7402 Multitach II
Group"

Note: If a piece of reflective tape is already visible on one of the fan blades, proceed to Step 6. If no
reflective tape is visible on one of the fan blades, use the following procedure:

Side View of the Radiator Group

a. Ensure that the key start switch is in the OFF position and remove the key. Access to the fan
blade is through door (1) on either side of the radiator group.

b. Clean a small area on the surface of one fan blade. Position the reflective tape so that the tape
is completely visible. Then attach a piece of the reflective tape to the fan blade.

Illustration 3 g00815885

6. Place photo pickup (2) into the holder on magnetic base (3) and tighten the screw. Attach magnetic
base (3) to the fan guard assembly.

7. When the reflective tape and photo pickup (2) are in alignment, the LED indicator (red light) will
come on. Position photo pickup (1) accordingly.

Note: When you start the engine, vibration of the machine may cause the photo pickup to become
misaligned. It may be necessary to adjust the position of magnetic base (3) in order to realign photo
pickup (2) .

Note: In order to check the minimum fan speed at low idle, the following conditions must be met:

◦ The engine coolant must be less than 89 °C (192 °F).

◦ The temperature of the air inlet manifold must be less than 49 °C (120 °F).

◦ The lube oil temperature for the transmission must be less than 93 °C (199 °F).

◦ The temperature of the hydraulic oil sump must be less than 90 °C (194 °F).

2. Run the engine at low idle. Observe the multitach (4) and record the hydraulic fan speed.
