8. Checking the hydraulic brake contml :
m ) Tighten pressure regulator bleed screw.
b) Start up engine.
When cut-out takes place wait a fen: seconds
for the pressure to stobilize.
Stop engine%
Watch pressure gauge and note the pressure
drop in the next 3
minutes. If pressure drop
exceeds 10 bors*( 145 psi ) repeat the test.
If the re< is the same. the broke control
valve is defective : change it.
