Pressure Limiter Valve - Test

SMCS - 5051-081

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on
the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the
hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or
hydraulic component.

Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the

hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the
attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders
must be supported properly.

Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.

Introduction
Pressure limiter valves are installed on each of the implement control valves. These valves limit the maximum pressure in each implement circuit.

(13) Blocking plate assembly

1. Disconnect the rod end hydraulic line from each lift cylinder and install blocking plate assembly (13) in each line.

The pressure tap is located behind an access door on the right fender of the operator's station.

(HA) Implement pump (discharge pressure)

2. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (HA) .

3. Start the engine and run the engine at high idle. Watch the test gauge while the bulldozer control lever is slowly moved to the RAISE position. The high reading on the pressure
gauge is the pressure setting of the pressure limiter valve. The correct setting for the pressure limiter valve in the bulldozer lift control valve is 22750 ± 300 kPa (3300 ± 45 psi).

4. You should stop the engine before you adjust the setting of the pressure limiter valve.

5. Remove the floorplates.

(7) Adjustment screw

6. Loosen locknut (6) on the bulldozer lift control valve. Turn adjustment screw (7) clockwise in order to increase the pressure setting. Turn adjustment screw (7) counterclockwise in
order to decrease the pressure setting. One revolution will change the pressure setting 5520 kPa (800 psi). Repeat Step 2.

7. When the pressure setting is correct, tighten locknut (6) to a torque of 35 ± 5 N·m (26 ± 4 lb ft). Remove the floorplates and the test equipment. Install the floorplates.

Bulldozer Tilt Circuit

The pressure tap is located behind an access door on the right fender of the operator's station.

(HA) Implement pump (discharge pressure)

1. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (HA) .

2. Start the engine and run the engine. Lift the bulldozer blade 300 mm (12 inch) off the ground. Tilt the blade all the way to the right.

3. Run the engine at high idle. Watch the test gauge while the bulldozer control lever is slowly moved to the TILT RIGHT position. The high reading on the pressure gauge is the
setting of the pressure limiter valve. The correct setting of the pressure limiter valve for the bulldozer tilt circuit is 17225 ± 300 kPa (2500 ± 45 psi).

4. You should stop the engine before you adjust the setting of the pressure limiter valve.

5. Remove the floorplates.

order to decrease the pressure setting. One revolution will change the pressure setting 5520 kPa (800 psi). Repeat Step 3.

7. When the pressure setting is correct, tighten locknut (6) to a torque of 35 ± 5 N·m (26 ± 4 lb ft). Remove the floorplates and the test equipment. Install the floorplates.

(HA) Implement pump (discharge pressure)

1. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (HA) .

2. Start the engine and run the engine at high idle. Watch the test gauge while the ripper lift control lever is slowly moved to the RAISE position. The high reading on the pressure
gauge is the pressure setting of the pressure limiter valve. The correct setting for the pressure limiter valve in the ripper lift control valve is 22750 ± 300 kPa (3300 ± 45 psi).

3. Start the engine and run the engine at high idle. Watch the test gauge while the ripper tip control lever is slowly moved to the SHANK IN position. The high reading on the pressure
gauge is the pressure setting of the pressure limiter valve. The correct setting for the pressure limiter valve in the ripper tip control valve is 22750 ± 300 kPa (3300 ± 45 psi).

4. You should stop the engine before you adjust the setting of the pressure limiter valve.

5. Remove the floorplates.
