(3) Load sensing signal limiter valve

(4) Line relief valve

1. Connect a 60000 kPa (8600 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (1) .

2. Start the engine.

3. Lower the left console.

4. Place the engine speed in the LOW IDLE position.

5. Loosen the locknut onload sensing signal limiter valve (3) .

6. Turn the adjustment screw of the load sensing signal limiter valve inward until the screw contacts the
stop.

Note: Make sure that the "Heavy Lift" option is not selected.

Note: For machines that are equipped with the "Heavy Lift" option, turn the nut and the spindle inward
until the nut and the spindle contact the stop. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Signal
Limiter Heavy Lift)".

7. Loosen the locknut on main relief valve (2) .

8. Turn the adjustment screw inward by one half turn.

Test and Adjust

1. Place the engine speed in the HIGH IDLE position.

NOTICE
To avoid damage to the hydraulic components, do not turn the main
relief valve adjustment screw into the stop.

2. Operate the implement that will be tested. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" for the
correct pressures of the following cylinders: boom cylinder, stick cylinder, bucket cylinder and VA
boom cylinder.

3. If the line relief valve pressure is not set to the proper specification, adjust the pressure at the
appropriate relief valve.

4. Loosen the locknut of line relief valve (4) .

5. Turn the adjustment screw of line relief valve (4) until the pressure at pressure tap (1) is set to the
proper specification. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" for the correct main relief valve
pressure specification.

Note: Turn the adjustment screw clockwise by a quarter turn in order to increase the pressure by
approximately 4500 kPa (650 psi).

Note: Make the final pressure adjustments on the pressure rise.

6. Tighten locknut (4) to the specified torque.

Note: After checking the line relief valve pressure settings, return the main relief valve and the load
sensing signal limiter valve to the original settings. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve
(Main) - Test and Adjust", Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Signal Limiter Heavy Lift) - Test and
Adjust", and Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Signal Limiter) - Test and Adjust".

Note: Head end line relief valves of boom, stick, bucket, and VA boom are located under the main
control valve.
