9. Record the PSI._____
NOTE
The PSI reading should be between 300 and
700 PSI.
10. Record the GPM._____
NOTE
The GPM reading should be between 1 and 3
GPM.
IMPORTANT: If the check valve does not
close, the engine will bog down and stall.
(REPLACE THE PUMP).
11. If all the recorded data meets the specifica-
tions above, proceed._____
CAUTION
The next test requires the needle valve to be
almost fully closed. It must be opened immedi-
ately after recording the test results to avoid
damage._____
Final Pump Pressure Test
1. Continue to close the needle valve slowly until
the flow gauge reads approximately 1
GPM._____ See Figure 6-77.
NOTE
DO NOT close the needle valve fully. This is
the main pressure hose, and the pump does
not have a relief valve.
2. Record the PSI._____ This is PSI “A”
NOTE
The PSI “A” should be between 1500 and 3200
PSI.
3. Record the GPM._____ This is GPM “A”
NOTE
The GPM “A” should be approximately 1 GPM.
4. Immediately open the needle valve._____
NOTE
Damage to the pump can be avoided by open-
ing the needle valve immediately after record-
ing the test results.
5. If the PSI reading is below 1500 PSI and the
GPM is above 1 to 2, the pump is defective.
(REPLACE THE PUMP).
6. Shut the log splitter off.
7. If all the recorded data meets the specifica-
tions above, perform the following section.
