Introduction
Hydraulic oil, under pressures that can be higher than 34 500 kPa (5000
psi) can remain in the hydraulic system on this machine after the engine
and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this
pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic
system. To prevent possible injury, refer to section, Release Of Pressure
In The Hydraulic System, before any fitting, hose or component is
loosened, tightened, removed or adjusted.
Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.
Reference: For Specifications with illustrations make reference to the SPECIFICATIONS for 950B
& 950E WHEEL LOADERS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, Form No. SENR2263. If the Specifications
given in Form No. SENR2263 are not the same as listed in the Systems Operation and the Testing and
Adjusting, look at the printing date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications listed in
the book with the latest date.
During a diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil flow and pressure are necessary
for correct operation. The output of the pump (oil flow) increases with an increase in engine speed
(rpm) and decreases when engine speed (rpm) is decreased. Oil pressure is caused by resistance to the
flow of oil.
Visual checks and measurements are the first step when troubleshooting a possible problem. Then do
the Operation Checks and last the Instrument Tests.

The 8T5320 Hydraulic Test Group or 1U5481 Pressure Gauge Group is used to make the pressure test
of the hydraulic system. Before any tests are made, visually inspect the complete hydraulic system for
leakage of oil and for parts that have damage. For some of the tests, a magnet and a measuring rule
(either for inches or millimeters) are usable tools.
1. The pressure of the oil to open the relief valves for the main and pilot systems and the relief valves
for the tilt circuits. Relief valve pressures that are too low will cause a decrease in the lift and the dig
characteristics of the machine. Pressures that are too high will cause a decrease in the life of hoses and
components.
2. Drift rates in the lift and tilt circuits: Circuit drift is caused by a leakage past cylinder pistons, O-
ring seals in the control valves, check valves or makeup valves that do not seat correctly or poor
adjustment or fit in the control valves.
3. Cycle times in the lift and tilt circuits: Cycle times that are longer than those shown are the result of
leakage, pump wear and/or pump speed (rpm).
If the basic tests give an indication of circuit leakage, install a Flow Meter and do a system test. This
procedure will find the source of the leakage.
Visual Checks
A visual inspection of the hydraulic system and its components is the first step when troubleshooting
a problem. Make the inspection with the engine off and the implements lowered to the ground.
1. Check the level of the oil in the hydraulic tank. Slowly turn the filler cap until it is loose. If oil
comes out the bleed hole, let the tank pressure lower before the filler cap is removed.
2. Look for air in the oil that is in the tank. Do this immediately after the machine is stopped. Use a
clear bottle or container to get a sample of the oil. Look for air bubbles in the oil that is in the bottle.
3. Remove the filter elements and look for particles removed from the oil by the filter element. A
magnet will separate ferrous particles from nonferrous particles (piston rings, O-ring seals, etc.).
4. Check all oil lines and connections for damage or leaks.
5. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken or damaged components.
Release Of Pressure In The Hydraulic System
Make reference to WARNING on first page of Hydraulic System

Testing And Adjusting section. To prevent possible injury, do the
procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the hydraulic
system:
Rear Of Tilt Cylinder

(1) Plugs.
1. Move the machine to a smooth horizontal location. Move away from working machines and
personnel.
2. Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel either away from the machine or
in view of the operator.
3. Activate the parking brake. With the engine running, put the bucket flat on the ground. When the
bucket is raised for tests or adjustments, be sure that the bucket has correct support and the bucket is
in the full dump position. The lift circuit has high oil pressure when the lift arms raise the front of the
machine. DO NOT STOP THE ENGINE with the front of the machine off of the ground.
4. Install the anti-pivot link.
5. Make sure all hydraulic pressure is released before any fitting, hose or component is loosened,
tightened, removed or adjusted.
6. Move the lift control lever to FLOAT position.
7. Shut off engine.
8. Move the lift control lever to the HOLD position.
9. Carefully loosen the filler cap on the hydraulic tank to release the pressure.
10. CAREFULLY loosen plugs (1) at the rear of the tilt cylinder. When the oil from the loosened
plugs stops, tighten the two plugs.
NOTE: To release the pressure in the attachment cylinders, carefully loosen two large plugs near
plugs (1) at the top of the loader frame. When the oil from the loosened plugs stops, tighten the two
large plugs.
11. Tighten the filler cap on the hydraulic tank.
12. The pressure in the system has now been released and lines or components can be removed.
Hydraulic Oil Temperature (Too Hot)

When the temperature of the hydraulic oil gets over 98.8C (210F), polyurethane seals in the system
start to fail. High oil temperature causes seal failure to become more rapid. There are many reasons
why the temperature of the oil will get this hot.
1. Hydraulic pump is badly worn.

2. Heavy hydraulic loads that cause the relief valve to open.
3. The setting on the relief valve is too low.
4. Too many restrictions in the system.
5. Hydraulic oil level in the tank is too low.
6. High pressure oil leak in one or more circuits.
7. Very dirty oil.
8. Air flow through the oil cooler core is too low.
9. Oil flow through the oil cooler is too low.
10. Air in the hydraulic oil.
NOTE: If the problem is because of air in the oil, it must be corrected before the system will operate
at normal temperatures. There are two things that cause air in the oil (aeration).
a. Return oil to the tank goes in above the level of the oil in the tank.
b. Air leaks in the oil suction line between the pump and the tank.
Procedure To Remove Air From Pilot System

Testing And Adjusting section. Air in the pilot system can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. The bucket can drop whenever the
engine stops or is shut off. If this condition happens the procedure that
follows should correct the problem.
8T5320 Hydraulic Test Group5H4018 Cover (two)5H4019 Cover
NOTE: Loose oil line connections and hoses or lines that have oil leakage will let air into the
hydraulic system.
Front Of Loader Frame

(1) Hose assembly to rod end of tilt cylinder. (2) Bleed screw for tilt back operation. (3) Bleed screw for raise operation.
1. Disconnect hose assembly (1) from the tilt cylinder.
2. Install a 5H4019 Cover between the hose assembly and the tilt cylinder. Connect hose assembly (1)
to the tilt cylinder.
3. Install a 5H4018 Cover between hose assemblies (6) and (7) and their blocks.
4. Start and run the engine at low idle.
Back Of Lift And Tilt Control Valve (Typical Example)

(4) Bleed screw for lower and float operations. (5) Bleed screw for dump operation. (6) Hose assembly to rod end of left
lift cylinder. (7) Hose assembly to rod end of right lift cylinder.
5. Move the tilt control lever to TILT BACK position.
6. Loosen (open) bleed screw (2). Keep it open until there is a constant flow of oil (no air bubbles)
from bleed screw (2).
7. Tighten (close) bleed screw (2). Release the tilt control lever.
8. Move the tilt control lever to DUMP position.
9. Open bleed screw (5). Keep it open until there is a constant flow of oil (no air bubbles) from the
bleed screw.
10. Close bleed screw (5). Release the tilt control lever.
11. Move the lift control lever to RAISE position.
12. Open bleed screw (3). Keep it open until there is a constant flow of oil from the bleed screw.
13. Close bleed screw (3). Move the lift control lever to HOLD.
14. Move the lift control lever to LOWER position.
15. Open bleed screw (4). Keep it open until there is a constant flow of oil from the bleed screw.
16. Close bleed screw (4). Release the lift control lever and stop the engine.
17. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system and remove the covers in the lines.
Final Check
18. Start and run the engine at high idle.
19. Move the lift control lever to the LOWER position and raise the front wheels off the ground.
20. Move the lift control lever to the HOLD position and shut off the engine.
21. Wait 10 seconds. Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle.
22. If there is movement by the bucket, there is still air in the system and the entire procedure must be
done again.
NOTE: Use this same procedure to remove air from the attachment part of the pilot system. The only
difference is that the attachment control lever must be moved and the bleed screws at the attachment
(third) valve spool must be opened.
Pump Efficiency Check

For any pump test, the pump flow, measured in liter/min (U.S. gpm) at 690 kPa (100 psi) will be
larger than the pump flow at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) at the same rpm.
The difference between the pump flow of two operating pressures is the flow loss.
Flow loss when expressed as a percent of pump flow is used as a measure of pump performance.
If the percent of flow loss is more than 10%, pump performance is not good enough.
*
Numbers in examples are for illustration and are not values for any specific pump or pump condition.
See the SPECIFICATIONS FOR 950B & 950E WHEEL LOADERS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, Form
No. SENR2263, for pump flow of a new pump at 100 psi and 1000 psi.
Test On The Machine

Install a Flow Meter. Run the engine at high idle rpm. Measure the pump flow at 100 psi (690 kPa)
and at 1000 psi (6900 kPa). Use these values in Formula I.
Test On The Bench

If the test bench can be run at 1000 psi and at full pump rpm, find percent of flow loss using Formula
I.
If the test bench can not be run at 1000 psi at full pump rpm, run the pump shaft at 1000 rpm.
Measure the pump flow at 100 psi (690 kPa) and at 1000 psi (6900 kPa). Use these values in the top
part of Formula II. For the bottom part of the formula, run the pump shaft at 2000 rpm. Measure the
pump flow at 100 psi.
Operation Checks
The operation checks can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be used to find a bad
valve or pump. The speed of rod movement when the cylinders move can be used to check the
condition of the cylinders and the pump.
Lift, lower, dump and tilt back the bucket several times.
1. Watch the cylinders as they are extended and retracted. Movement must be smooth and regular.
2. Listen for noise from the pump.
3. Listen for the sound of the relief valves. They must not open except when the cylinders are fully
extended or retracted, when the bucket is empty.
4. Watch the operation of the bucket positioner and lift kickouts.
The lift control lever has detents in the RAISE and FLOAT positions.
The tilt control lever has a detent in the TILT BACK position (only when the bucket is between full
dump and the bucket angle to dig).
Lift And Tilt Cylinder Drift Tests

The drift rates will change with different conditions of the hydraulic components as well as with the
operation, the type of bucket (empty or loaded), hydraulic oil temperature, etc.
The values shown are for an empty bucket. Before measuring drift on the cylinder rod, the cylinders
must be extended at least five times. Check the oil temperature.
To check the lift circuit, lift the bucket to maximum height and move the control lever to the HOLD
position. Measure the distance (and check the time) that the cylinders retract, with the chart.
NOTE: The drift distances in the charts are for new machines.
To check the tilt circuit, lift the bucket to maximum height, and move the lift control lever to the
HOLD position. Activate the tilt circuit until the bucket is at the angle to dig (almost level) and move
the tilt control lever to the HOLD position. Measure the distance (and check the time) that the
cylinder retracts, with the chart.
If the cylinder drift is too much:
1. Check the makeup valves in the lift and tilt control valve.
2. Check the condition of the valve spools in the lift and tilt control valve.
3. Check the piston seals in the cylinders.
Attachment Cylinder Drift

The attachment cylinders will drift in the close or lower direction because of an orifice (to the tank) in
the line from the rod end of the attachment cylinders.
Lift And Tilt Cylinder Speed Tests

Start and run the engine at high idle rpm. Lift and lower the lift arms again and again to get an
increase in the temperature of the hydraulic oil.
The oil in the system must be SAE 10 and at a temperature of 65 3C (150 5F) to get accurate
test results. All speed tests are made with the engine at high idle. The speeds in the following chart are
those of machine equipped with a general purpose bucket.
950E WHEEL LOADER 65R03089-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3304 ENGIN... Pgina 10 de 32
If the travel times are not correct:
1. Check the pump efficiency.
2. Check the setting of the relief valves.
3. Check the makeup valves in the lift and tilt control valve.
4. Check the valve spools in the lift and tilt control valve.
5. Check the piston seals in the cylinders.

Remove the old cartridge valve and install a new one.
4. Install plug (3). Remove the test equipment. Install cap (2) on tee (1) on earlier machines.
Optional Pressure Test At The Lift And Tilt Control Valve

This is an optional method to check the pressure in the pilot system. The pressure can be checked at
four different places during TILT BACK, DUMP, LIFT and LOWER operations. The disadvantages
of this optional method are: the control levers must be moved to check the pressure and air must be
removed from the pilot system (See PROCEDURE TO REMOVE AIR FROM PILOT SYSTEM).
NOTE: On a machine equipped with the attachment control valve, the pressure of the pilot system
can be checked at two additional places on the attachment control valve.

2. Adjust magnet assembly (1) on lift arm (3) so that the lower edge of the magnet is even with the
center of switch assembly (2).
3. Tighten the bolts that hold the magnet assembly in place.
4. Adjust switch assembly (2) to get clearance (A) between the switch and magnet assembly (1) of 6
to 10 mm (.24 to .39 in.).
5. Tighten the bolts that hold the switch assembly in place.
6. Start and run the engine. The lift kickout switch action must move the lift control lever from
RAISE to HOLD position before the lift arm assembly gets to the top of its travel.
7. If the kickout was too soon, move magnet assembly (1) away from switch assembly (2). If the
kickout was not soon enough (cylinder rods hit the heads inside the lift cylinders), move magnet
assembly (1) toward switch assembly (2).
Bucket Positioner Adjustment Procedure
Bucket Positioner
(1) Tube assembly. (2) Magnet assembly. (3) Switch assembly (under cover). (4) Screw. (5) Bolt (two). (A) Dimension 5
1 mm (.197 .039 in.).
1. With the engine running, move the tilt control lever to put the bucket in the correct angle to dig and
then move the tilt lever to the HOLD position. Lower the bucket to the ground and stop the engine.
2. Assemble magnet assembly (2) in the pin puller hole until in contacts plate on pin assembly. Turn
magnet assembly counterclockwise so longer length is perpendicular to bucket positioner tube
assembly (1). Then tighten four setscrews (two in each tapped hole) to 4 1 Nm (3 1 lb ft).
3. To position tube assembly, loosen two bolts (5) and tighten center spreader screw (4) in tilt cylinder
bracket. Slide tube assembly (1) until front edge of switch assembly (3) is opposite front edge of
magnet assembly (2). Loosen spreader screw (4), tighten two bolts (5) and apply 15 4 Nm (11 4
lb ft) to the spreader screw.
4. Adjust cover and switch assembly (3) so switch assembly is vertically centered on face of the
magnet and gap (A) of 5 1 mm (.197 .039 in.) is held between the switch assembly and magnet.
a. To center switch vertically with the face of the magnet, loosen the two bolts in the cover and move
switch (3) until vertically centered.
b. To change dimension (A), loosen bolts (5) and move the cover assembly as necessary to position
switch assembly (4) 5 1 mm (.197 .039 in.) away from the face of magnet assembly (2).
5. Start and run the engine. Put the lift arm assembly parallel to the ground with the bucket in a full
dump position. Put the tilt control lever in the TILT BACK (detent position). The action of the bucket
positioner moves the control lever from TILT BACK to HOLD position when the bucket is at the
correct angle to dig.
6. If the bucket angle to dig was too flat, move tube assembly (1) and switch assembly (3) toward the
bucket. If the angle to dig was too much, move tube assembly (1) and switch assembly (3) toward the
tilt cylinder.
Lift Kickout And Bucket Positioner Electrical

System
See the Electrical Troubleshooting in the OPERATOR'S STATION, Form No. SENR2267.
Control Lever Linkage Adjustment
Control Lever Linkage (Earlier Linkage Shown)

(1) Tilt control lever (lift control lever is behind it). (2) Detent for ti back. (3) Detent for raise and float. (4) Roller. (5) Rod
length dimension 224 1 mm (8.82 .04 in.) (6) Rod from tilt lever. (7) Rod. (8) Bucket positioner solenoid (lift kickout
solenoid is behind it). (A) Distance to top of plunger with solenoid activated. (B) Distance to top of plunger with solenoid
not activated.
Control lever linkage adjustments must be made with the lift arms at maximum height and the bucket
in the tilt back position. This is done so that both the lift and tilt (bucket positioner) kickout solenoids
can be easily activated.
1. Make sure that the lift kickout and bucket positioner are adjusted correctly. The magnet for the lift
kickout must be in the correct position. The switch for the bucket positioner must be in the correct
position. See their respective ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES in this module for correct adjustment.
2. Open the cover on the right side of the cab.
3. Rods (6) and (9) must have length dimension (5) of 224 1 mm (8.82 .04 in.) between the
centers of the bolts through the ends. Loosen a locknut against an end and remove the bolt through the
end on the rod. Turn the end either clockwise or counterclockwise to change the length of the rod.
Right Side Of Cab (Earlier Machine Shown)

(2) Detent for tilt back. (3) Detent for raise and float. (6) Rod from tilt lever. (7) Rod. (8) Bucket positioner solenoid. (9)
Rod from lift lever. (10) Lift kickout solenoid.
4. Move the tilt control lever to the TILT BACK detent position. Roller (4) must go into detent (2) to
keep the tilt control lever in the TILT BACK position. If roller (4) does not go into detent (2), the
length of rod (6) must be changed. Loosen the locknut, against the end of the rod, and turn the rod to
change the length. When the length of rod (6) is correct, tighten the locknut against the end.
5. Move lift control lever (1) to the RAISE DETENT position and then to the FLOAT position. The
roller must go into detent (3) when the lift control lever is in RAISE and when it is in FLOAT
position. Change the length of rod (9) if detent (3) will not keep lift control lever (1) in either the
RAISE or the FLOAT position. Loosen the locknut against an end on the rod and turn the rod to
change the length of the rod. When the length of rod (9) is correct, tighten the locknut against the end.
6. Start the engine.
7. Move tilt control lever (1) to the RAISE detent position. When the lift arms get to their maximum
height, lift kickout solenoid (11) must activate. [Rod (10) on the solenoid plunger must move into the
solenoid.]
8. Move the tilt control lever to the TILT BACK detent position. When the bucket gets to its level
position, bucket positioner solenoid (8) must activate. [Rod (7) must move into the solenoid.] Stop the
engine.
9. Turn the disconnect and key start switches to their ON position. Do not start the engine. At this
time, both solenoids must be activated.
10. Measure distance (A) at each solenoid while the solenoids ARE activated.
11. Turn the key start switch to the OFF position.
12. Put lift control lever (1) in the RAISE detent position. Put the tilt control lever in the TILT BACK
position.
13. Each roller must be in its correct detent. Remove all slack (free movement) in the linkage.
14. Measure distance (B) at each solenoid while the solenoids ARE NOT activated. Distance (B) must
be the same distance (A) plus 13 mm (.5 in.).
15. If distance (B) at a solenoid is not correct:
a. Loosen the locknut on solenoid rod (7) or (10).
b. Turn the solenoid plunger (on the rod) until distance (B) is correct.
16. Do Step 12 again and hold the levers in their detent positions. Turn the key start switch to the ON
position and back to the OFF position several times. DO NOT start the engine.
17. Do Steps 11 thru 14 again. If distance (B) at each solenoid is not correct, do Step 15 again.
Tighten each locknut when distance (B) is correct.
