Procedure for Traction Circuit Reducing Valve (PR)
Pressure Test
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
perature by operating the machine for approximately 10
minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a level 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. Connect a 1000 PSI (70 bar) gauge to test port on
4WD control manifold under radiator (Fig. 29).
4. Start the engine and put throttle at full engine speed
(2870 RPM). Make sure that transport/4WD switch is in
the 4WD position.
5. Sit on seat, apply brakes fully and slowly depress the
traction pedal in the reverse direction. While pushing
traction pedal, look at pressure reading on gauge:
GAUGE READING TO BE approximately 650 PSI
(45 bar).
6. Stop engine and record test results.
7. Pressure reducing valve (PR) is located on the front
side of the 4WD control manifold (Fig. 30). Adjustment
of this valve can be performed as follows:
NOTE: Do not remove the pressure reducing valve
from the hydraulic manifold for adjustment.
A. To increase pressure setting, remove cap on re-
ducing valve and turn the adjustment socket on the
valve in a clockwise direction. A 1/8 turn on the sock-
et will make a measurable change in pressure set-
ting.
B. To decrease pressure setting, remove cap on re-
ducing valve and turn the adjustment socket on the
valve in a counterclockwise direction. A 1/8 turn on
the socket will make a measurable change in pres-
sure setting.
C. Recheck pressure setting and readjust as need-
ed.
8. When testing is completed, disconnect pressure
gauge from test port.
