13. Increase the throttle to full. Record the hydro
reading at the pressure gauge. The reading
should be between 200 PSI and 650 PSI. See
figure 5.
NOTE: This system should not read higher than 650
PSI. The relief valve is set to 650 PSI in the auxiliary
manifold.

14. Remain at full throttle and max out the lift valve.
There should be a PEAK pressure of 1100-1200
PSI. See figure 6.
NOTE: Only hold the lift valve for a short amount
of time. Record the reading and release the lift
valve lever as quick as possible.
IMPORTANT:
System pressure will increase with the
actuation of the power steering and/or deck lift.
If the pressure readings are not
meeting the specifica-
tions, the charge pump is faulty.
If the pressure readings are meeting specifications,
the charge pump is not faulty and the mechanical
system must be checked.
