5.7 PRESSURE SETTING PROCEDURES
COLD TEMPERATURES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON PRES-
SURE READINGS. JLG INDUSTRIES, INC. RECOMMENDS OPER-
ATING THE MACHINE UNTIL THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAS
WARMED TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES PRIOR TO
CHECKING PRESSURES. JLG ALSO RECOMMENDS USING A CAL-
IBRATED GAUGE. PRESSURE READINGS ARE ACCEPTABLE IF
WITHIN +/- 5% OF SPECIFIED PRESSURES.
