3. Put blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels of the machine. Remove the differential drive shaft.

4. Remove caps (3) and install 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauges on pressure tap (D) and pressure tap (G).

5. Operate the engine at high idle either in the PARK position or NEUTRAL position. Record the gauge pressures. Pressure tap (D) is clutch 8
and pressure tap (G) is clutch 5. Remove the pressure gauges and replace caps (3).

6. Remove caps (3) and install 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauges on the pressure tap (B), pressure tap (F) and pressure tap (H).

7. Operate the engine at high idle in FIRST GEAR FORWARD. Record the gauge pressures. Pressure tap (B) is clutch 1. Pressure tap (F) is
clutch 6 and pressure tap (H) is clutch 7. Remove the pressure gauges and replace caps (3).

8. Remove caps (3) and install 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauges on pressure tap (C) and pressure tap (E).

9. Operate the engine at high idle in SECOND GEAR FORWARD. Record the gauge pressure. Pressure tap (C) is clutch 2 and pressure tap (E)
is clutch 4. Remove the pressure gauges and replace caps (3).

10. Remove cap (3) and install a 6000 kPa (870 psi) pressure gauge on the pressure tap (A).

11. Operate the engine at high idle in the FIRST GEAR REVERSE position. Record the gauge pressure. Pressure tap (A) is clutch 3. Remove the
pressure gauges and replace cap (3).

12. Refer to Table 1 for the correct pressures. If an adjustment is needed, refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Initial Pressures -
Test and Adjust".
