- Install a pressure gauge with a 60000 kPa (8700 psi) capacity on pressure tap (11) for the drive pump.
- 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 - Engine Speed" for the machine for engine rpm settings.
- Warm the hydraulic oil to 50 °C (122 °F).
- Set the pilot pressure to the specifications in Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Pilot) - Test and Adjust" for the machine.
- Use the following procedure to access the "SERVICE" mode of the monitor.
- From the default screen, press the main menu key (4) .
- Use the right key (2) or the left key (5) in order to scroll through the menu options.
- When the "SERVICE" option is highlighted, press the OK key (8) .
Note: In order to access the "SERVICE" screen, the password for service must be entered.
- When "PASSWORD" screen appears, use the right key (2) and the left key (5) in order to scroll through the characters. When the desired character is highlighted, press the OK key (8) . Enter the password for service FFF2 in order to continue to the "SERVICE" screen.
- After the password has been entered the "SERVICE" screen should appear. Refer to Illustration 3.
Note: For more detailed steps with entering passwords or entering the service mode, refer to Troubleshooting, "Using Service Mode" for the Tool Control System.
- Use the down key (6) in order to scroll through the menu options.

- Use the down key (6) in order to scroll through the menu options.
- When the "POWER SHIFT PRESS" option is highlighted, press the OK key (8) .
- Use the down key (6) in order to highlight the value of the power shift pressure.
Illustration 5 | g01147667 |
- Use the right key (2) in order to decrease the value of the power shift pressure. Use the left key (5) in order to increase the value of the power shift pressure.
Pressing the left key (5) one time decreases the power shift pressure 10 kPa (1.5 psi). Pressing the right key (2) one time increases the power shift pressure 10 kPa (1.5 psi).
Note: The value for power shift pressure on the monitor may not always match the pressure reading on the pressure gauge. Adjust the value on the monitor until the desired power shift pressure is attained on the pressure gauge that is connected to the pressure tap for power shift pressure. The actual power shift pressure must be 2900 kPa (420 psi) on the pressure gauge.
Note: To prevent a change in power shift pressure during the adjustment of the line relief valve for the attachment control valve, do not turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.
Note: Refer to Monitoring System, RENR8066 for additional information on Service Mode.
- Set the main relief valve to specifications. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust" for the machine.
- Calibrate the power shift pressure. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Calibration" for the Machine Electronic Control System.
- The pressure setting for the top line relief valve and for the bottom line relief valve for the attachment control valve is 36800 ± 1500 kPa (5340 ± 220 psi).
Note: To prevent a change in power shift pressure during the adjustment of the line relief valve for the attachment control valve, do not turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.
Note: Refer to Monitoring System, RENR8066 for additional information on Service Mode.

Note: After relief valve adjustments, cancel Service Mode.
Note: Return the main relief valve pressure to the specified setting after testing and adjusting any line relief valve. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust" for the machine for the main relief valve pressure setting.
Note: To prevent oil flow to the work tool during this testing and adjusting procedure, close the stop valves in the lines for the work tool.
Adjustment of the Line Relief Valve for Attachment Control Valve
- To adjust the line relief valve pressure setting of the upper work tool, push the foot pedal for the work tool forward. Hold the foot pedal in this position.
- Check the pressure in the work tool at the drive pump's pressure tap (11) .
- Return the foot pedal for the work tool to the NEUTRAL position.
- Compare the pressure reading to the specification 36800 ± 1470 kPa (5340 ± 220 psi). If the pressure reading is within the specification, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure reading is not within the specification, then proceed to Step 5.
- Loosen locknut (14) on the line relief valve for the work tool. The relief valve is located on the top side of the main control valve. Turn adjustment screw (15) until the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (11) is 36800 ± 1470 kPa (5340 ± 220 psi).
- To adjust the line relief valve pressure setting of the lower work tool, push the foot pedal for the work tool backward. Hold the foot pedal in this position.
- Check the pressure in the work tool at pressure tap (11) .
- Return the foot pedal for the work tool to the NEUTRAL position.
- Compare the pressure reading to the specification 36800 ± 1470 kPa (5350 ± 215 psi). If the pressure reading is within the specification, no further adjustment is necessary. If the pressure reading is not within the specification, then proceed to Step 10.
- Loosen locknut (14) on the line relief valve for the work tool. The relief valve is located on the bottom of the main control valve. Turn adjustment screw (15) until the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (11) is 36800 ± 1470 kPa (5350 ± 215 psi).
- After completion of line relief valve adjustment, tighten locknut (14) .
Note: Turning adjustment screw (15) clockwise increases the pressure. Turning adjustment screw (15) counterclockwise decreases the pressure.
Note: Always make final pressure adjustment on pressure rise.
Note: After relief valve adjustments, cancel Service Mode.
Note: Return the main relief valve pressure to the specified setting after testing and adjusting any line relief valve. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust" for the machine for the main relief valve pressure setting.
