pitch pressure Check
To gain access to the pitch block (Figure 50), removal of
the right-rear seat frame panel may be necessary.
Pitch pressure must be measured with at least one of
the pitch switches activated. When pitch switches are
unactivated, the pitch pressure will be the same as the
charge/steering pressure. Proper pitch pressure is 2300
PSI (2250 - 2350 PSI).
Figure 50. Pitch Block Location
1. Install 3000 PSI range pressure gauge to pitch
pressure test port on pitch block, (Figure 51).

„ Plugged hydraulic oil filter
„ Loose or leaking fittings.
„ Ruptured/damaged hydraulic lines.
„ Faulty hydraulic pump.

NOTICE
The Pitch Pressure Relief Valve is SET AT THE
FACTORY, and normally should not require adjustment.
If all other systems are found not to be defective, then
the pitch relief valve is suspect, the following steps can
be used to adjust the valve.
