to full lock. Check the gauge reading which should
equal the relief valve pressure, refer to Technical Data.
Note: The steering wheel must be held on full lock whilst the
gauge reading is being checked.
5 If necessary, adjust the pressure setting by removing
plug B, on the hydraulic steer unit.
6 Adjust screw C using an 'allen key' until the correct
pressure is shown on the gauge.
