this test.
7. Start engine and move throttle to full speed (2850 +
50 RPM).
8. Watch pressure gauge carefully while slowly clos-
ing the flow control valve on the tester until 2000 PSI
(138 bar) is obtained.
9. Flow indication should be 5.8 GPM minimum. Re-
cord test results.
10. Open control valve on tester and shut off engine.
11. If flow was less than 5.8 GPM or a pressure of 2000
PSI (138 bar) cannot be obtained, check for restriction
in the pump intake line. If line is not restricted, remove
pump and repair or replace as necessary.
12. If testing is complete, disconnect tester from gear
pump and hose. Reconnect hose to the pump.
