Specifications
Note: A New specification is the performance that can be expected for a new machine. A Rebuild
specification is the performance that can be expected after rebuilding the components of a system.
Performance beyond Service Limit specifications is an indication of these problems: improper
adjustment, wear, damage of relief valves and damage of pumps.

Preparation For Relief Valve Adjustment

Illustration 2 g00340876

Pump Compartment

(1) Pressure tap (power shift pressure)

(2) Pressure tap (upper pump delivery pressure)

(3) Pressure tap (lower pump delivery pressure)

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".

4. Connect a 60000 kPa (8700 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (2). Connect a 60000 kPa (8700
psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (3) .

5. Connect a 4000 kPa (580 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (1) .

6. Start the engine.

7. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

AEC switch OFF.

Reference: Make reference to Testing And Adjusting, "Operational Checks" for engine rpm settings.

Note: Normal operations of the engine and pumps are necessary for the pressure adjustments. If the
results of the pressure adjustment are not correct, then the engine and the pump characteristic curve
needs to be checked. Slow output flow from the pump is an indication of air in the hydraulic system.
Make sure that no air is present in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing And Adjusting, "Hydraulic
System Pressure - Release".

Temporary Setting Of The Main Relief Valve

Note: A temporary setting of the main relief valve is required before any line relief valve can be
adjusted.

Illustration 3 g00341013

Top of Main Control Valve

(4) Adjustment screw

(5) Locknut

(6) Main relief valve

1. Open the bucket until the bucket cylinder rod is at the full retraction.

2. Be sure that the main relief valve pressure is set at 34300 ± 490 kPa (4975 ± 72 psi).

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

3. Loosen locknut (5). Turn the adjustment screw (4) clockwise for one half turn. Tighten locknut
(5) .
