Pump Pressure Test

  1. Install pressure gauge. Start engine and let idle. Close valve (for no longer than 5 seconds). On Quantum, pressure is 986-1189 psi (69-84 kg/cm2 ). On all others, pressure is 1100-1200 psi (77.83-84.36 kg/cm2 ).
  2. If pressure is not to specification, check limiting valve by inspecting bores in valve and piston for obstructions. Ensure piston moves freely in housing. Install new valve if necessary.
