Checking the Hydraulic Pressures

‹ CAUTION
If the hydraulic pressures are incorrect serious machine damage may result.

Note: The machine pressures are factory set and are only to be checked when diagnosing hydraulic system
faults or when a hydraulic component is replaced.

1. Clean the relevant pressure check point and the area around the point.

2. Remove the pressure check point cap.

3. Fit a suitably calibrated pressure gauge to the check point.
