sure Test
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
perature by operating the machine under load for
approximately ten (10) minutes. Make sure the hydrau-
lic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a lev el surface with the cutting
decks lowered and off. Make sure engine is off and the
parking brake is applied.
CAUTION
Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equip-
ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre-
cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning
of this section.
3. Measure and record traction circuit pressure redu-
cing valve (PR) pressure (see Traction Circuit Pressure
Reducing Valve (PR) Pressure Test in this section).
4. Connect a 1000 PSI (70 bar) pressure gauge to test
port on 4WD manifold under radiator. This is the same
pressuregaugepositionasusedtom easuretractioncir-
cuit pressure reducing valve (PR) pressure.
5. Start the engine and put throttle at high idle speed
(2870RPM).Makesurethat Hi/Low switch isinthe Low
(4WD) position.
6. Operate the machine in Low speed (4WD) with the
cutting decks lowered. Drivedownaslopeinaforward
direction, decrease pressure on the traction pedal and
monitor the pressure gauge. Pressure should increase
until the relief valve lifts.
7. Stop engine and record test results.
8. Relief (RV) pressure should be approximately 750
PSI (52 bar) and at least 100 PSI (7 bar) higher than
the traction circuit pressure reducing valve (PR)
pressure(e.g.ifthepressure reducingvalve(PR)pres-
sure is 650 PSI (45 bar), relief (RV) p ressure should be
at least 750 (52 bar) but not much higher).
9. Relief valve (RV) is located on the front side of the
4WD manifold (Fig. 35). Adjustment of the relief valve
(RV)canbeperformedasfollows:
NOTE: Do not remove the reliefvalvefrom the hydrau-
lic manifold for adjustment.
A. Remove cap on relief valve to locate the adjust-
ment socket (Fig. 36). A 1/8 turn on the socket will
makeameasurablechangeinreliefpressure.
B. Toincreasereliefpressuresetting, rotateadjust-
ment socket in a clockwise direction.
C. To decrease pressure setting, rotate adjustment
socket in a counterclockwise direction.
D. Recheck relief pressure and readjustasneeded.
10.When testing is completed, disconnect pressure
gauge from manifold test p ort.
