Sideshift Circuit Test
Avoid high pressure fluids - escaping fluids under pres-
sure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Re-
lieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. 
Turn the truck off and move the truck auxiliary control 
handle multiple times in both directions. Tighten all 
connections before applying pressure. Keep hands 
and body away from pin holes which eject fluids under 
high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to 
search for leaks. Do not use your hand.
Any fluid injected into the skin under high pressure 
should be considered a serious medical emergency 
despite an initial normal appearance of the skin. There 
is a delayed onset of pain, and serious tissue damage 
may occur. Medical attention should be sought imme-
diately from a specialist who has experience with this 
type of injury.
1. Sideshift all the way to the left. Turn the truck off 
and relieve pressure from the attachment system. 
Disconnect the "sideshift right" supply hose from 
the truck hose terminal and direct hose end to drain 
bucket. Cap the supply fitting.
2. Start the truck and actuate the "sideshift left" lever 
for 5 seconds. If there is substantial hydraulic flow 
out of the drain hose, the sideshift cylinder is defec-
tive and must be replaced. See Sideshifter Cylin-
der for cylinder replacement procedures. If there is 
no hydraulic flow, check for plugged flow restrictor 
washers and fittings, making sure they are also in-
stalled correctly. If there are still no signs of hy-
draulic flow, the problem is not hydraulic.
