Location of the Pressure Taps (Pilot Control Actuator)
Attach test gauge (B) to test gauge hose (A). Attach test gauge hose (A) to the desired pressure tap.
Engage the parking brake.
Shift the transmission to neutral.
Start the engine and warm the hydraulic oil to 63° 25°C (145° 45°F).
With the engine at low idle, record the gauge reading. With the control levers in the HOLD position, there must not be more than 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure difference in the pilot control actuator at each end of a valve spool. The pressure reading is expected to be pilot pressure. The pilot chamber pressure should be equal to the hydraulic tank pressure when the pilot control valve is fully actuated.
