7. Verify the restrictor valve on the hydraulic ow tester

is in the fully “Opened” position (Fig. 341).

10. Stroke the left hand hydrostatic lever fully forward.

Very slowly, rotate the “T” handle of the adjustable

ow tester restrictor valve until the pressure gauge

reaches 500 PSI (3447 kPa). The measured ow

should be 13 to 15 gpm (49 to 56.8 lpm) (Fig. 342).

11. With the unit at full engine throttle speed, slowly

rotate the “T” handle of the ow tester restrictor

valve clockwise until the pressure gauge reads

approximately 1000 to 1200 psi (6895 to 8274 kPa)

(Fig. 343).

Caution: DO NOT operate the machine for an ex-

tended period of time at the 1200 psi (8274 kPa)

rate.

8. Start the machine. Run it for approximately 5

minutes to warm the oil in the hydrostatic system.

9. Release the parking brake and bring both levers to

the inside neutral position. Set the engine throttle to

full RPM.
