HYDRAULIC TEST





1. PERFORM HYDRAULIC TEST
(a) Measure the line pressure.

NOTICE:
^ Perform the test at the normal operating ATF temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
^ The line pressure test should always be performed with at least 2 people. One person should observe the condition of the wheels or wheel chocks while the other is performing the test.
^ Be careful to prevent SST's hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
^ This test must be performed after checking and adjusting the engine.
