Margin pressure is difference between discharge pressure of steering piston pump and signal pressure to steering meter-
ing pump. Margin pressure should be 520 15 psi (3,600 100 kPa).
23.
If margin pressure is not correct, perform Piston Pump (Steering and Pilot) Low Pressure Standby Test and Adjustment
and Piston Pump (Steering and Pilot) High Pressure Stall Test and Adjustment, in this work package, before making any
adjustments to pump controller.
