Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. |

- The pressure of the relief valve should be 25600 ± 700 kPa (3713 ± 102 psi).
Adjustment Procedure (Relief Valve Steering Cylinder Crossover)
- Adjust the valve pressure, if necessary. Loosen the locknut (3). Turn the adjustment screw (4) counterclockwise in order to lower the pressure of the valve. Turn the adjustment screw (4) clockwise in order to increase the pressure of the valve. Tighten locknut (3) after the correct pressure is reached. The valve is faulty if the adjustment screw does not affect the pressure. Replace the valve.
- Install the relief valve into the steering control valve. The valve should be installed with a torque of 60 ± 6 N·m (44 ± 4 lb ft).
