To change the hydraulic pump capacity of a 120 Hitachi excavator from 80 gallons to 60 gallons, follow these steps:
- The engine should be turned off and shut down the hydraulic throttle valve in order to stop hydraulic oil movement.
- Find the hydraulic pump and ascertain where there is an adjustment screw for the capacity on it.
- The desired volume can be achieved by simply rotating with a wrench or adjusting tool. The capacity screw normally sits on top or at the side of the equipment.
- When you finish this process of adjusting capacity screw, then start your engine again and allow oil to replenish the system back to its full level.
- After this modification, test run your machine using new hydraulic pump rates while keeping an eye on how well other parts associated with hydraulics function.
So, Keep in mind that altering these values will involve some changes to other parts used in hydraulic systems. Therefore, if one has no time understanding what all this means one should call or text someone who would assist him/her. Always ensure that all safety regulations are adhered to as per guidelines provided by manufacturers when working with hydraulics
