Kit consists of: 1. One Pressure Test Fixture with a 3000 PSI pressure gauge, 20 GPM in-line flowmeter and 1/2" Pioneer Quick Disconnect Couplers. 2. One Return Test Fixture with 3000 PSI pressure gauge and 1/2" Pioneer Quick Disconnect Couplers. Installation and Opération: 1. Prépare tractor and sprayer for testing by idling tractor for 10 to 15 minutes to warm up hydraulic oil and filling sprayer with enough water to run the pump safely. 2. Run the pump for several minutes to warm up hydraulic motor. This will give you a more true reading of how the pump will perform in the field. 3. Insert Pressure Test Fixture into pressure line on the tractor. The tractor port to be used is noted by cylinder in retracted position. Using this port allows the operator to turn the hydraulic-driven pump off by going to the float position instead of the neutral position. This is very important so that trapped pressure doesn't occur within the hydraulic motor and damage hydraulic motor oil seal. 4. Insert Return Test fixture in return line on tractor to measure back pressure. High back pressure is detrimental to the perform­ance of the pump. High back pressure robs the hydraulic motor of the potential energy to do work. Follow the Centrifugal Diagnostic Flow Chart to détermine course for corrective action to improve pump performance.
