Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under pressure can cause serious injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the hydraulic system. |
Note: Refer to Troubleshooting, "General Information" before testing and adjusting the automatic lubrication system in order to prevent possible injury.

(1) Nonadjustable pressure reducing valve (2) Adjustable pressure reducing valve |
Pressure reducing valve (2) is factory set at a pressure of 2410 kPa (350 psi). Turn the adjusting nut in a clockwise direction in order to increase the pressure.
Pressure reducing valve (1) is nonadjustable.
The following examples are the hydraulic oil pressures in a normal operating system.
- The pressure in the hydraulic oil supply line should be a minimum of 2070 kPa (300 psi).
- The hydraulic oil pressure that is flowing from the pressure reducing valve (1) should be 2600 ± 100 kPa (380 ± 15 psi).
