Checking Steering Pressure
Steering pressure is also checked at either of the high pressure
diagnostic couplers under the right grill guard. Check steering
pressure at either coupler with a 300-600 PSI gauge.
Run the engine at full RPM. The steering system's factory setting
is as shown in Table 4, however some operators may prefer a
more responsive steering (higher pressure required) and some
operators may prefer a "softer feel" (lower pressure required).
