Variable Flow Pumps
Regulator Valve Adjustment (Cont’d)
The load sense system is a dynamic type, which means a
small flow (0.22 to 1.1 gall/1 to 5 litre per minute) is
circulated through the load sense line.
The flow is available due to a 0.02 in (0.6 mm) orifice in the
flow regulator spool in the pump control housing. This orifice
can be blocked or partially restricted which will give poor
performance, slow operating speed and/or low maximum
stall speed. If completely blocked, margin pressure and
stand-by pressure can be difficult to adjust and the loader
services may operate intermittently even though the
excavator operates correctly.
If any of the above symptoms are experienced carry out the
following:
1
Lower the backhoe bucket and loader shovel to rest
on the ground. Stop the engine and remove the
starter key.
2
Gain access to the regulator valve assembly.
3
Disconnect the load sense line at A. Attach a 0.25
inch (6.35 mm) hose to pump of suitable length to
route to a measuring container.
4
Start the engine and measure the flow which should
be at least 0.22 gall/1 litre per minute at 2200 RPM.
5
If the flow is below 0.22gall/1 litre per minute, remove
spool B and clean/unblock orifice C as required.

Renewing Drive Shaft Seal
Note: The following procedure describes renewal of the
shaft seal. However this is not the normal sequence, the
sealing ring would normally be assembled with the taper
roller bearing from inside the pump to ensure a secure
sealing condition. If the shaft seal is to be renewed in this
manner, it is extremely important not to scratch or damage
the shaft, otherwise leakage will occur.
1
Remove retaining ring 1 and use a special rounded tool
such as a ground screwdriver to remove the drive shaft
sealing ring 2.
2
Examine the seal running area (driveshaft and housing)
for wear or damage. Damage in these areas will require
the pump to be further dismantled.
3
Lubricate the new seal with JCB Special MPL Moly
Grease.
4
Install the new seal, it is advisable to use a tube or
similar located over the driveshaft to ensure the seal
enters the housing evenly. DO NOT push the seal too
far into the housing. If the shaft seal touches the
bearing, the seal will be damaged.

Note: If your machine is not equipped with these valve
sections, start with the furthest section from the pump and
work back to the nearest section.
If one valve section function either fails to work or is slow to
work in either one or both directions, the primary shuttle in
that section may be at fault.
If two or more valve sections next to each other fail to
operate correctly, check the secondary shuttles. To check
the secondary shuttle operate each service in sequence, the
last correctly functioning service nearest the pump may have
a secondary shuttle in that section at fault.
When a shuttle is suspected of malfunctioning, do the
following check:
Stall any control valve that is near the pump than the
suspected control valve. This should stall the entire system.
While at stall operate the malfunctioning valve section, if the
section operates correctly the shuttle in question is at fault.
If section still malfunctions the shuttle is NOT at fault.
Shuttles may be removed, check the seals and the shuttle
ball. Clean and refit or fit a new shuttle as required.

Use the hand pump to raise approximately 172 bar
(2500 lbf/in2) pressure at the valve inlet.
Note: Raising the pressure at the valve inlet locks the anti-
cavitation cone C onto its seat, this allows the A.R.V.

If the pressure is maintained move to step 10.
If the pressure falls off rapidly, or if no pressure can be

If no pressure can be raised (see step 8) at the valve
inlet, remove the A.R.V. assembly and install anti-
cavitation lock-out bung 6 in the port marked 'RV',
make sure that the bung O-ring face seal D is facing

out. Re-fit the A.R.V. assembly.
Note: The anti-cavitation lock-out bung seals and locks the
A.R.V. anti-cavitation function. The bung is only suitable for
the test block application and must NEVER be fitted to the
valve block.

Pressure Compensator Network - Testing
The pressure compensator valve network can be easily
checked as follows:
1
Start the engine and operate the hydraulic system until
the oil is at working temperature.
2
With the engine at 1500 revs/min operate each service
in turn starting with the service furthest from the pump
inlet section.
If one control valve section function either fails to work
or is slow to work in either one or both directions, the
pressure compensator valve in that section may be at
fault.
When a pressure compensator valve is suspected of
malfunctioning, do the following check:
3
Stall any control valve that is nearer the pump inlet
section than the suspected control valve section. This
should stall the entire system. While at stall operate the
malfunctioning valve section, if the section operates
correctly the pressure compensator valve in question is
at fault.
If the section still malfunctions the pressure
compensator valve is NOT at fault.
Note: The pressure compensator valves may be removed for
inspection, refer to Excavator Valve - Dismantling and
Assembly. Clean and refit, or fit a new pressure
compensator valve as required.
