- Raise the boom until the top stick pin is the same height as the boom foot pin.
- Fully extend the bucket cylinder.
- Fully retract the stick cylinder.
- Extend the stick cylinder rod 70 mm (2.8 inch) from the fully retracted position.
- Measure each cylinder's length from cylinder pin to cylinder pin.
- Stop the engine.
- Leave the machine in this position for three minutes. Measure each cylinder's length from cylinder pin to cylinder pin for drift.
