Procedure for Engine Cooling Fan Circuit Test
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
peraturebyoperatingthemachineforapproximately10
minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting
decks lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the
parking brake is applied. Raise and support hood.
CAUTION
Prevent personal injuryand/or damageto equip-
ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre-
cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning
of this section.
3. Raise seat to gain access to cooling fan circuit test
port atthe fandrive manifold (Fig.44). Connect a5,000
PSI(345bar)gaugewithhydraulichoseattachedtotest
port on top of manifold.
4. Start the engine. Move throttle to full speed (2870
RPM).
5. While monitoring the pressure gauge and using a
phototac to identify the cooling fan speed, disconnect
the wire harness connector ( white/green and black
wires)fromthePRVsolenoidonfandrivemanifold.Both
fan speed and pressure should increase and stabilize
after the solenoid is disconnected.
PRESSURE GAUGE READING TO BE approxi-
mately 3000 PSI (207 bar).
PHOTOTAC READING TO BE: fan speed approxi-
mately 2800 RPM.
6. Stop engine and record test results.
7. If pressure rises to approximately 3000 PSI (207
bar) but fan speed is low, consider that the fan motor is
worn or damaged. If pressure and fan speed are both
low, consider that the gear pump is worn or damaged
(see Engine Cooling Circuit Gear Pump Flow Test).

ifold Service in the Service and Repairs section of this
chapter).
8. When testing is complete, remove pressure gauge
and reconnect wire harness to PRV solenoid.
