    Check your switch panel, I think the switch on the top left is the heavy lift, should have a light that comes on when switch is in that mode on the dash above it. It will slow the hyd down. The pump is in the rear, raise the hatch above the counterweight, the pump runs off the crank by a drive shaft. The pump is a radial pump, has six sections with rows, 3 pistons per row, and each row is around 14 gallons but really only 71 gpm total. I would not jump into the pump until filters, strainers, shut off valves, oil levels, engine rpm, hyd cooler speed, and pressures to modulators and reliefs are checked. Some quick checks, swing at 6.52 rounds per min, hoist raise 5.5 sec, lower 3.2 sec, crowd out 4.7 sec, retract 2.9 sec, bucket open 3.1 sec, close 1,7 sec. You will need to be able to check pressures up to (600 bar). 1 Bar = 14.2 psi. Lets hope the heavy lift switch is just on!.
