- Start the engine.
- Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
- Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to
55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F) . - 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 engine rpm settings.
- Move the swing joystick slowly and ensure that the swing parking brake is operating properly.

(11) Relief valve (left swing) - Slowly move the swing joystick for a full SWING RIGHT operation and check the pressure for relief valve (8) at pressure tap (2). Refer to Table 1 for swing relief pressure.
- Return the joystick to the NEUTRAL position.
- Slowly move the swing joystick for a full SWING LEFT operation and check the pressure for relief valve (11) at pressure tap (2). Refer to Table 1 for swing relief pressure.
- Return the joystick to the NEUTRAL position.
- Inorder to adjust the swing relief valve, loosen the locknut and turn the adjustment plug until the pressure reading at pressure tap (2) is within the specification.
Note: Turning the adjustment plug clockwise increases the pressure. Turning the adjustment plug counterclockwise decreases the pressure.
Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.
- Tighten the locknut to a torque of
117 ± 10 N·m (85 ± 7 lb ft) .
