Negative flow control pressure flows to the regulators at the drive pump and the idler pump in order to control the output flow of the pumps. The proportional reducing valve for negative flow control regulates the amount of pilot pressure from the pilot pump and signal oil pressure from the main control valve that flows into the regulators of the main pumps. The proportional reducing valves for negative flow control are controlled by the machine ECM.

- The following procedures must be completed before performing the calibration.
- Set the pilot pressure to the specifications in Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Pilot) - Test and Adjust" for the machine.
- Calibrate the power shift pressure. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Solenoid Valve (Proportional Reducing) - Calibrate (Power Shift Pressure)" for the machine.
- Position the machine on level ground and stop the engine.
- Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "System Pressure - Release".

Illustration 2 g03862960 Pressure taps for the proportional reducing valves (negative flow control)
(1) Pressure tap for "NFC1"
(2) Pressure tap for "NFC2" - Connect two
3445 kPa (500 psi) pressure sensors to the pressure taps on the proportional reducing valves for negative flow control. The proportional reducing valve pressure taps for negative flow control of the drive pump and idler pump are located in the pump compartment. - Start the engine.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to
55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F) . - Place the hydraulic activation lever in the UNLOCK position.
Note: This procedure is typical for both proportional reducing valves for negative flow control.
- Enter the service mode. Input the password "9992".
