Steering Problem 025FD30

Hi, I need help for the following:
I have a 025FD30 of 1989 with hidraulic brakes that has a problem, the steering is hard I mean that I have to make effort to turn it. I brakes well.
I already measured the pressure on the steering box and it return 50 bar, and i think it must be 85 bar. We already changed hidraulic block and everyting is ok (presure 180 bar for lift and tilt). Is there somebody who can help to increase the steering pressure? where can it be done?
Thanks

Hello

Pressure must be from 75 to 85 Kg/cm2. First you have to check the relief valve condition. If valve is OK you can set up it adding or removing shims.
