The combination valve and the pump control valve are accessible from the ground. The valves are located
under the cab platform and on the left side of the machine. These components are near the rear cab support.
1. Start the engine.
2. Operate the engine at low idle. Operate the implement controls for three to ten minutes in order to
raise the hydraulic oil temperature to normal operating temperature range.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Remove the dust cover from the combination valve. Install Tooling (A) into pressure test port (10) .
Note: The blade lift control must be in the neutral position before engine start-up. Test equipment will
be damaged if the blade control valve is in the float position at engine start-up. If the machine is
equipped with a hydraulic detent, the blade control valve should move from the float position to the
neutral position when the engine is shut off.
5. Check in order to ensure that the blade lift controls are in the neutral position.
6. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. Record the pressure reading from the pressure gauge
at the pressure test port (10) . The pressure should read 3300 689 kPa (480 100 psi). If the low
pressure standby is too high, refer to the Problem: Low standby pressure is too high within Testing
and Adjusting, "Performance Checks".
7. Use Tool (B) to open purge valve (18) counterclockwise by one turn. A small amount of oil may leak
by the purge valve during this procedure.
8. Read the pressure gauge. The correct setting for true low pressure standby is 2100 150 kPa (305
22 psi). This reading is without any load from the implements or any load from the steering on the
hydraulic system.
9. If the pressure reading is incorrect, close purge valve (18) . Proceed to Section "Adjustment for Flow

1. Operate the engine at low idle.
2. Operate the implement controls for three minutes to ten minutes in order to raise the hydraulic oil
temperature to the normal operating temperature range.
3. Stop the engine. Remove the dust cover from pressure test port (10) . Install Tooling (A) and Tool (D)
onto pressure test port (10) .
4. Start the engine and operate the engine at high idle. The correct pressure reading should be 3300
689 kPa (480 100 psi).
5. If the pressure that is measured at pressure test port (10) is within the tolerance that is indicated in
Step 4, proceed to Step 6. If the pressure reading is not within the tolerance, adjust the pump low
standby pressure. Refer to the procedure that is found in the "Low Standby Pressure Adjustment"
section. Then continue with Section "Adjustment for Signal Network ".
6. Stop the engine.
7. Do not remove Tool (D) from port (10) .
8. In order to obtain pump signal pressure, install a second Tool (D) onto port (19) . Connect Tool (D)
onto Tooling (A) .
9. Start the engine.
10. Move the control lever for blade tip (26) in order to stall the cylinder. Read the pressure gauges. The
pressure gauge that is reading the pump signal should increase. The pressure gauge that is reading the
pump output should increase.
11. If the pump signal pressure increases and the pump output pressure does not increase, the pump

control valve on the hydraulic and steering pump has failed. Stop the engine.
12. Replace the pump control valve.
13. Test the signal resolver (39) in the combination valve by following Step 14 and Step 15.
14. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle.
15. If the steering is operable with at least one implement in operation, the signal resolver (39) in the
combination valve has failed. When the implement ceases to operate and the steering is not being
operated, the signal resolver (39) in the combination valve has failed.
16. Stop the engine. Remove the test equipment. Replace the dust cover.
17. In order to check for a faulty signal check ball or a missing signal check ball in the implement control
valves, follow Steps 18 through Step 23.
18. Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle. Check the implement cycle times.
19. If the cycle time for each of the implements is longer than the specifications that are allowed except
for one implement, the following information is true. The signal check ball in that implement control
valve is faulty or the signal check ball in that implement control valve is missing.
20. The signal from the right valve bank can be isolated from the signal from the left valve bank at the
combination valve. This will pinpoint the problem with the signal to the right valve bank or to the left
valve bank.
21. If a blade lift cylinder drifts during the operation of another implement that is in the same valve bank,
the signal check ball in the blade lift cylinder is faulty. A missing signal check ball in any implement
valves or a faulty signal check ball in any implement valves may cause any one of the implements to
be inoperative in that valve bank. The implement that is working will be the implement valve that is
missing a signal check ball or the implement valve that has a faulty signal check ball in that
implement valve.
22. Operate the circle drive. If a low flow circuit fails to operate during operation of the engine at low
idle, refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Performance Checks".
23. Stop the engine.
