5.Startengineandrunatidlespeed.Checkforanyhydraulicleakagefromtest
connectionsandcorrectbeforeproceedingwithtest.
6.Ensurethatthehydraulicuidisatnormaloperatingtemperatureby
operatingthemachineunderloadforapproximately10minutes.
7.Ensurethatthetractionpedalisinneutral,thesteeringwheelisstationary
andparkingbrakeisengaged.
