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.

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 procedure is used to test the pressure of the transmission lubrication oil.

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 51 °C (124 °F).

2. Stop the machine on a hard level surface. Engage the parking brake. Turn off the engine.

(1) Plug

3. Remove plug (1) from the transmission case. Install Tooling (D) into the port. Attach Tooling (A) onto
Tooling (D).

4. Place the machine on stands so that the rear wheels are off the ground.

Note: Make sure that the All Wheel Drive system is turned off.

Note: Support the tandem in order to prevent the tandem from torquing when the service brake is
applied.

Test Procedure
1. Start the engine.

2. Apply the parking brake. Turn the differential lock to the "ON" position. Operate the machine in
NEUTRAL at low idle. The pressure on the gauge should be a minimum of 14 kPa (2 psi). Record the
gauge reading in Table 2.

3. Operate the machine in NEUTRAL at high idle. The pressure on the gauge should be a minimum of
275 kPa (40 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 2.

4. Disengage the parking brake. Operate the machine in FIRST GEAR FORWARD at low idle. The gauge
pressure should be a minimum 6 kPa (1 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 2.

5. Operate the machine in FIRST GEAR FORWARD at high idle. The gauge pressure should be a
minimum 135 kPa (20 psi). Record the gauge reading in Table 2.

6. Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 with the differential lock in the OFF position. Transmission lubrication
pressures that vary with the differential lock in the ON position indicate leakage in the differential lock
system.

7. Stop the machine.

8. Turn off the engine.

9. Remove the stands that were installed under the machine.

10. Remove the test equipment.

11. Install the plug that was removed in Step 3.
