- Start the engine.
- Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test" for engine rpm settings.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).
- Check the pilot relief valve setting at pressure tap (30) .
- The pilot relief valve setting should be 4100 ± 200 kPa (595 ± 30 psi). If the pilot relief valve setting is not within the specification, adjust the pilot relief valve.
- In order to adjust the pilot relief valve, loosen locknut (28) .
- Turn adjustment screw (29) until the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (30) is 4100 ± 200 kPa (595 ± 30 psi).
Note: Turn adjustment screw (29) clockwise in order to increase the pressure. Turn adjustment screw (29) counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure.
Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.
- Tighten locknut (28) to a torque of 49 ± 4.9 N·m (36 ± 4 lb ft).
Note: Normal operation of the engine and pumps are necessary for the pressure adjustment. If the results of the pressure adjustments are not correct, then the engine and the pump characteristic curve needs to be checked.
