With engine at high idle, use the auxiliary hydraulic control lever 
to check pressure to both male and female connectors. Hold 
over relief and check pressure. If pressure is incorrect, adjust or 
replace cartridge located in the auxiliary section of the main 
control valve.

CAUTION:
GAUGE DAMAGE may occur. Malfunctioning hydraulic system circuits may have
excessive pressure and can cause hydraulic pressure spikes. Test circuit with the highest reading 
pressure gauge first. If this gauge cannot record an accurate pressure reading, use the next lower 
pressure gauge.
