13L, the coupling tube and globe valve installed during the main
hydraulic pump test will not be required.
Have suitable container ready to catch oil.
Start engine, move ejector forward, stop engine, and relieve hydraulic pressure.
Disable ejector by disconnecting CONT VLV-21 at port 22 on ejector control valve. Plug
hoses; cap elbows.

follows:
With SPRUNG/UNSPRUNG lever in SPRUNG position, have assistant move right-hand
SUSPENSION CONTROL lever to RAISE while, at the same time, holding the
EJECTOR CONTROL lever in BACK. Read pressure measuring device (5). If the
