TEST B: Traction Motors Mechanical Drag
TEST C: Traction Motors Efficiency
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at operating temperature.
2. Block up one traction wheel off floor.
3. Place blocks in front of two remaining wheels.
4. Operate engine at full speed:
Reelmaster 216: 3600 ± 100 RPM
Reelmaster 216-D: 3200 ± 100 RPM
5. While watching flow and pressure gauges, slowy
push traction pedal into forward, until 5 GPM is ob-
tained.
TESTER READINGS: At 5 GPM, pressure not to
exceed 400 PSI.
If pressure rises above 400 PSI, check:
A. For restriction in lines to or from rear motor.
B. For internal motor drag. If internal drag, remove
motor and repair as necessary.
6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 for other wheel(s).
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at operating temperature.
2. All wheels on floor.
3. Block front of all wheels.
4. Operate engine at full speed:
Reelmaster 216: 3600 ± 100 RPM
Reelmaster 216-D: 3200 ± 100 RPM
5. While watching pressure gauges, slowly push traction
pedal into forward until 1000 PSI is obtained, read flow
gauge.
TESTER READINGS: GPM Flow — Not more than
2 GPM at 1000 PSI.
If flow reading is higher than 2 GPM, tester must be
connected in series between pressure line and individ-
ual wheel motor to isolate defective motor. Repeat steps
1 - 5 in above test for each motor.
