307 EXCAVATOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Testing And Adjusting

SMCS - 1406-038
Introduction
NOTE: As a general rule, if there is a doubt as to the cause of a problem, the electronic system
should be checked first.
NOTE: For information on Systems Operation of the above, make reference to: "Systems Operation,
Electronic System", SENR6195, "Systems Operation, Hydraulic System", SENR6196 and/or
"Systems Operation, Hydraulic System", SENR9204.
NOTE: This manual contains information on the testing and adjusting procedures of the hydraulic
system in the 307 Excavator. For troubleshooting the engine components, refer to the module Service
Manual, Mitsubishi 4D32 Engine, SENR6433.
NOTE: This manual has been completely changed from the former issue. The electrical system
checking procedures and testing and adjusting procedures are now located in a separate module.
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic systems 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 systems. 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.
When possible, the bucket must always be lowered to the ground before
service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised
position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that boom, stick
and bucket have correct support.
Swing lock must be engaged before service is started.
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.
During diagnosis of the hydraulic system, remember that correct oil temperature, flow and pressure
are necessary for correct operation. Pump output (oil flow) is a function of engine speed (rpm). Oil
pressure is caused by resistance to the flow of oil.
Visual Check
A visual inspection of the system is the first step when trouble-shooting 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 loosen the hydraulic tank air vent/fill cap
and release the pressure before the fill cap is removed.
2. Remove the filter element and check it for material that would give an indication of damage to a
component.
3. Inspect all lines and connections for damage or leaks.
4. Inspect control linkage for bent, broken or damaged components.
Pressure Checks
In each checking procedure, it is assumed that the engine operation is normal unless otherwise
specified.
Checks During Operation

The checks during operation can be used to find leakage in the system. They can also be used to find
a valve, pump, motor or cylinder that is not working correctly. The speed of rod movement or the
torque on a motor can be used to check the condition of the cylinders, motors and pumps.
Operational Tests
NOTE: For specifications given in "Operational Tests", a "NEW" specification is the performance
that can be expected for a new machine. A "REBUILD" specification is the performance target to use
after rebuilding the components of a system. A machine that performs beyond "Service Limit"
specifications should be checked for improper maintenance or adjustment, component wear, or
failure.
Specifications given in charts for a machine equipped with 3700 mm (12 ft 2 in) boom, 1720 mm (5 ft
8 in) stick, and SAE 0.28 m3 (3/8 yd3) bucket.
NOTE: The power mode selector switch must be placed at MODE ON position, unless otherwise
specified, during tests.

Main Pump Performance Check And

Adjustment
NOTE: Before starting pump performance test, check the alarm indicators on the monitor panel (4).
If they indicate normal, then perform the operational tests.
NOTE: If operational tests (for example cycle times) indicate that a slow implement problem is
common to the circuits of one pump, then the problem is most likely in the hydraulic system. Then
perform the "Pump Performance Check And Adjustment".
NOTE: If the operational tests indicate an implement speed problem common to both pump circuits,
then the engine, fuel, or working altitude may be the problem.

Check Procedure
NOTE: Perform the upper and lower pump flow tests one at a time.
To prevent personal injury or equipment damage from failure of the

flow meter or associated circuit components because of blocked pump
flow, make sure before starting the engine that the flow meter valve is
fully open (turned counterclockwise).
To prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage from failed lines

or components while the flow meter is returned to the open flow
position after a flow test, slowly open the flow meter valve and monitor
pump flow at the same time to make sure flow increases. If pump flow
does not increase as the flow meter is opened, shut the engine off and
determine what is causing the pump not to upstroke.
1. Slowly turn valve (35) of portable hydraulic tester (1) clockwise and record pump flow at each of
the following pressure points. Use pressure gauge (27) at tap (25) or (26) for this reading.
2. All flow readings must be done only in upstroke (pressure rise).
NOTE: Flow specifications given above are based on an engine speed of 1800 rpm. To get more
accurate test results, each of measurements should be corrected by calculating as follows:
FLOW CORRECTED = (FLOW MEASURED 1800) RPM MEASURED
Main Pump Flow Adjustment

If flow measurements are out of specifications, adjust the flow as follows:
NOTE: Any flow variation per one turn of a setscrew should be used as a guide only. Always use a
flow meter to adjust the pump flow.
Pump Compartment
(39) Locknut. (40) Setscrew.
Pump Regulator
(39) Locknut. (40) Setscrew. (41) Shim.
1. Loosen locknut (39).
2. Turn setscrew (40) until adjusted to the correct specification. Turning setscrew (40) clockwise
increases the flow rate. Turning setscrew (40) counterclockwise decreases the flow rate by the same
amount as shown in the clockwise rotation. A quarter turn of setscrew (40) changes flow rate as
follows:
a. Approximately 1.8 liter/min (0.5 U.S.gpm) at a system pressure of 13 700 kPa (1975 psi) where the
constant horsepower control activates at the first stage.
b. Approximately 1.5 liter/min (0.4 U.S.gpm) at a system pressure of 31 400 kPa (4550 psi) where the
constant horsepower control activates at the second stage.
c. For adjustment at the point where the activation of the constant horsepower control changes from
the first stage to the second stage, use shim (41). A change of a 0.1 mm (0.004 in) shim thickness
changes flow rate by approximately 0.3 liter/min (0.1 U.S.gpm).
3. Tighten locknut (39) to a torque of 240 25 Nm (175 18 lb ft).
