Note: This procedure is used for machines that are equipped with the "heavy lift option". If the machine is
not equipped with the "heavy lift option", refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Signal Limiter)".
A testing and adjusting procedure for engine speed with the heavy lift circuit
A testing and adjusting procedure for the load sensing signal limiter valve
Both of the testing and adjusting procedures should be performed in order to ensure the optimum
performance of the heavy lift function. For testing and adjusting of the load sensing limiter valve alone, only
the second procedure is needed.

NOTICE
Ensure that the maximum allowable engine rpm for the heavy lift is set
to the proper value of 1150 ± 50 rpm.
1. Prior to any adjustment, refer to the "Preparations" section in Testing and Adjusting, "Operational
Checks".

Note: Refer to Special Instruction, REHS0701, "Instructions for the Use of the M300 Technician
Software with a Laptop Computer".
6. With the AEC switch in the OFF position, place the engine speed dial in the HIGH IDLE position.
8. "Select Group" should appear on the screen. Select "Engine Speed". If "Engine Speed" is not shown,
add "Engine Speed" to the parameters list.

2. Install the 123-6471 Diagnostic Tool Group to the service connector (1) .
Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS9825 for the use of the 123-6471 Diagnostic Tool Group .
5. With the AEC switch in the OFF position, place the engine speed dial in the HIGH IDLE position.
6. Select the "Proc" mode. Use the arrow keys to select the "engine rpm" function on the PDT.
Adjust (PDT)
1. Select the "F1 Config/Cal" mode, "Speed Limit", and "Heavy Lift".
2. By increasing or decreasing the numeric value, adjust the engine rpm to 1150 ± 50 rpm. Press the
"ENTER" button when you are finished.

7. Slowly move the bucket control lever to the full BUCKET CLOSE position. Check the load sensing
signal pressure at pressure tap (2). Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" for the correct load
sensing signal pressure with heavy lift.
9. Slowly move the bucket control lever to the full BUCKET CLOSE position. Check the load sensing
signal pressure at pressure tap (2). Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" for the correct load
sensing signal pressure without heavy lift.

3. Turn adjustment nut (3) clockwise until the nut contacts the stop in order to block piston (5) .
Note: When adjustment nut (3) is turned in, signal pressure from the heavy lift solenoid valve is no
longer required to achieve the pressure specification for heavy lift. The test should be done with the
heavy lift switch in the OFF position.

5. Slowly move the bucket control lever to the full BUCKET CLOSE position. Check the load sensing
signal pressure at pressure tap (2). Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Specifications" for the correct load
sensing signal pressure with heavy lift.
6. To adjust the maximum pressure for the heavy lift, turn spindle (6). Turning the spindle
counterclockwise will decrease the pressure and turning the spindle clockwise will increase the
pressure.
