- Start the engine and run the engine at high rpm.
- Center the machine in the straight ahead position.
- Note the reading on the pressure gauge. The standby pressure reading should be 4700 kPa (680 psi) maximum. The margin pressure is 2500 kPa (365 psi).
- Do not make adjustments to the steering/pilot pump in order to affect the standby pressure reading. Instead, if the pressure reading is too low or too high, the margin pressure test should be performed.
