Relief Valve (Swing) - Test and Adjust

SMCS - 5454-036

Note: This machine is equipped with two swing motors. The line relief valve pressure
setting for the right swing motor is set higher than the line relief valve pressure setting
for the left swing motor. This prevents damage to the internal components of the swing
drive. In order to ensure the correct line relief valve pressure setting for each swing
motor, a temporary setting of the relief valves on the left swing motor is necessary.

Note: The main relief valve must be temporarily set before swing relief valves can be
adjusted. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Specifications".

Preparation
1. Position the machine on level ground.

2. Stop the engine.

3. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic
System Pressure - Release".
