Priority Valve - Standby Pressure Testing
1 Disconnect hose A and install a 0 - 40 bar (0 - 580
lbf/in
2
) pressure test gauge into the valve port. Position
the open end of hose A into a clean container in order
to collect any oil drainage.
2 Disconnect hose B from load sensing port adaptor C
and blank off.
3 Set the steering to neutral, i.e. do not turn the steering
wheel, and start the engine. Gradually increase the
engine speed to 1000 rev/min while checking the
maximum pressure gauge reading which should be 5.9
to 8.7 bar (86 to 126 lbf/in
2
)
If the pressure is outside the limits try cleaning the priority
valve, refer to Priority Valve - Cleaning.
If cleaning the valve does not rectify, check the hydraulic
pump flow rate, refer to Section E Main Pump - Flow and
Pressure Testing.
If the hydraulic pump flow and pressure tests are
satisfactory, then the priority valve must be renewed.
