bends or interference with any rotating members,
and install tie wraps and/or protective conduit as
required. Tighten all fittings.
3. Reinstall the display panel. Refer to Section 4.5,
“Cab Removal,” for information on installing the dash
panel.
4. Start the engine and run at approximately 1/3-1/2
throttle for about one minute, without moving the
vehicle or operating any hydraulic functions.

fluid in the reservoir. Shut the engine OFF.
Note: Check for leaks and repair as required before
continuing. Add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir as
needed.
6. Wipe up any hydraulic fluid spillage in, on, near and
around the vehicle, work area and tools.

Power Steering Valve
The power steering valve (5) is located at the base of the
steering wheel shaft, concealed by the lower dash cover.
The valve is not serviceable and must be replaced in its
entirety if defective.
WARNING:
Avoid prolonged engine
operation in closed areas with inadequate
ventilation. Failure to properly ventilate exhaust
fumes can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Hydraulic oil leaking under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
severe personal injury. DO NOT use your hand
or any part of your body to check for hydraulic
leaks. When checking for hydraulic leaks, wear
safety glasses and gloves to help provide
protection from spraying hydraulic oil. Use a
piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
