change to a numeric value. These characters represent the power shift pressure (kPa).
l. Press left key (D) or right key (F) in order to increase or decrease the numeric value
that is displayed on line 4 of the display. Pressing left key (D) decreases the power
shift pressure. Pressing right key (F) increases the power shift pressure.
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
2850 kPa (415 psi) on the pressure gauge.
Note: To prevent a change in power shift pressure during the relief valve adjustment,
do not exit the "DEVICE TEST" screen and do not turn the engine start switch to the
OFF position.
Note: Refer to Systems Operation, "Monitoring System" for additional information

on Service Mode.

any line relief valve. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust" for
the main relief valve pressure setting.
Adjustment (Boom Cylinders)

1. To adjust the line relief valve pressure setting of the boom cylinder head end, move the
joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM RAISE position (full extension of
boom cylinders). Hold the joystick for the boom in this position.
2. Check the pressure in the boom cylinder head end on the pressure gauge at pressure tap (1).
3. Return the joystick for the boom to the NEUTRAL position.
4. The pressure gauge reading should be 39500 + 2000 - 2500 kPa (5729 + 290 - 363 psi). If
the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (1) is not within the specification, adjust line
relief valve (11).
5. In order to adjust line relief valve (11), loosen locknut (14) on the boom line relief valve.
Turn adjustment screw (15) until the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (1) is
39500 + 2000 - 2500 kPa (5729 + 290 - 363 psi).
Note: Always make final pressure adjustment on pressure rise.
6. Tighten locknut (14) to 20 ± 2 N·m (15 ± 1 lb ft) on line relief valve (11).
Note: In order to adjust the line relief valve pressure setting for the boom cylinder rod end,
a temporary adjustment of the line relief valve for the bucket cylinder rod end must be
performed.
7. Loosen locknut (14) on line relief valve (16) for the BUCKET OPEN function. Turn
adjustment screw (15) by one half turn in a clockwise direction. Tighten locknut (14) on the
line relief valve for the bucket cylinder.
8. Move the joystick for the bucket until the bucket is at the full BUCKET OPEN position (full
retraction of the bucket cylinder). Hold the joystick for the bucket in this position. At the
same time, move the joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM DOWN
position (full retraction of boom cylinders). Hold the joystick for the boom in this position.
9. Check the pressure in the boom cylinder rod end on the pressure gauge at pressure tap (1).
10. Return the joystick for the boom to the NEUTRAL position.

14. After completion of line relief valve adjustment for the boom cylinders, return the line relief
valve pressure setting of the bucket to the specified pressure setting.
Note: If an appropriate location is not available to fully extend the boom cylinders, exchange the
functions of the boom line relief valves. Remove the line relief valve for the boom cylinder head
end and the line relief valve for the boom cylinder rod end from the main control valve. Exchange
the location of the line relief valves. Adjust the pressure of the boom line relief valve that is now
attached in the head end. After completion of line relief valve adjustment, return the respective
line relief valves to the original locations.
Adjustment (Stick Cylinder)

1. To adjust the line relief valve pressure setting of the stick cylinder rod end, move the
joystick for the stick until the stick is at the full STICK OUT position (full retraction of
stick cylinder). Hold the joystick for the stick in this position.
2. Check the pressure in the stick cylinder rod end on the pressure gauge at pressure tap (2).
3. Return the joystick for the stick to the NEUTRAL position.

joystick for the bucket until the bucket is at the full BUCKET OPEN position (full
retraction of bucket cylinder). Hold the joystick for the bucket in this position.
8. Check the pressure in the bucket cylinder rod end on the pressure gauge at pressure tap (1).
9. Return the joystick for the bucket to the NEUTRAL position.
the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (2) is not within the specification, adjust the line
relief valve.
11. In order to adjust the line relief valve (16), loosen locknut (14) on the bucket line relief
valve. Turn adjustment screw (15) until the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (2) is
