Test Procedure



Illustration 1g00298378

  1. Position the machine on level ground. Refer to Illustration 1.

  2. Load the bucket.

    Weight of bucket load

    312F/313F 936 kg (2063.5 lb)

  3. Raise the boom until the stick to bucket pin is the same height as the boom foot pin.

  4. Fully extend the bucket cylinder.

  5. Fully retract the stick cylinder.

  6. Extend the stick cylinder rod 70 mm (2.8 inch) from the fully retracted position.

  7. Measure each cylinder length from cylinder pin to cylinder pin.

  8. Stop the engine.

  9. Leave the machine in this position for 3 minutes. Measure each cylinder length from cylinder pin to cylinder pin for drift.
