Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or hydraulic component. Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders must be supported properly. Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made. |

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates. |

The control valve for the brake and the clutch controls the steering of the tractor.
The valve may require adjustment if one of the following conditions exist:
- The tractor makes a turn without steering input.
- The steering of the machine is erratic.
- The machine has a smaller turning radius in one direction versus the other direction.
Use the following procedure to set the valve correctly.

- Move the machine to a flat open area.
- Lower all implements to the ground.
- Stop the engine.
- Turn the key to the ON position, but do not start the engine.
- Verify that the implement shutoff control is in the UNLOCKED position.
- Move the implement control levers and the transmission control lever through the full range of travel several times. This movement should relieve any pressure that may be present in the implement hydraulic system and the power train system.

- Install tooling (T1) on a pressure taps (B1) and (B2).
- Start the engine and run at HIGH IDLE.
- Make sure that the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position.
- Using tooling (T1), check pressure for pressure taps (B1) and (B2). The pressure should be
2482 ± 172 kPa (360 ± 25 psi) . - Install tooling (T1) on a pressure taps (C1) and (C2).
- Using tooling (T1), check pressure for pressure taps (C1) and (C2). The pressure should be
2585 ± 138 kPa (375 ± 20 psi) .
Adjustment Procedure - Brake Off
- The pressures are adjusted by loosening the locknut (5) and turning the adjustment screw.
Note: Adjustment screws (2) and (3) are used for adjusting the brake pressure.
Note: Adjustment screws (1) and (4) are used for adjusting the clutch pressure.
- If the specified control pressures cannot be attained, remove
0.50 mm (0.02 inch) of shim (6) or (7) from the spool. - Readjust the control pressure.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all the pressures.

Test Preparation - Hand Control Half On
Perform the steps in "Test Preparation - Brake Off".
Test Procedure - Hand Control Half On
Note: After the control pressures have been adjusted, check the clutch pressure and the brake pressure at the following control lever position.
- Pull the levers backward until a higher lever force is felt.
- The control levers at this position should produce a clutch pressure of <70 and a brake pressure of
2482 ± 172 kPa (360 ± 25 psi) .
Test Preparation - Hand Control Full On
Perform the steps in "Test Preparation - Brake Off".
Test Procedure - Hand Control Full On
Note: After the control pressures have been adjusted, check the clutch pressure and the brake pressure at the following control lever position.
- Pull the levers all the way backward.
- The control levers at this position should produce a clutch pressure of <70 and a brake pressure of
293 ± 120 kPa (43 ± 17 psi) .
