Main Relief Valve - Adjust

SMCS - 5069-025

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.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection,
maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid
with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Introduction

The main relief valve for the transmission maintains the maximum pressure of the oil that is delivered to the transmission clutches by the
transmission modulating valves. Also, the main relief valve protects the transmission hydraulic system from any high pressure spikes.

The following test procedure will verify whether the pressure setting is within the specified limit. The adjustment procedure provides the
information that is needed to adjust the main relief valve to the specified limit.

3. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (P) .

4. Start the engine. Warm the power train oil to a temperature of 80° ± 5°C (176° ± 9°F).

5. Operate the engine at HIGH IDLE. Make sure that the steering control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. Disengage the parking
brake.

6. Check the pressure at tooling (A). The pressure at tooling (A) should be 2760 ± 140 kPa (400 ± 20 psi).

7. Operate the engine at LOW IDLE (800 rpm). Make sure that the steering control lever is in the NEUTRAL position. Engage the
parking brake.

8. Check the pressure at tooling (A). The pressure at tooling (A) should be 2585 ± 105 kPa (375 ± 15 psi).

ReferenceRefer to Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Charts" in this module for additional pressure values.

9. If the pressure at tooling (A) is within the specified limit, the test is complete. If the pressure at tooling (A) is not within the
specified limit, perform the procedure in "Adjustment Procedure for the Main Relief Valve".

Adjustment Procedure for the Main Relief Valve

1. Perform the steps in "Test Procedure (Transmission Main Relief Valve)".

3. Loosen locknut (4). Maintain the position of adjustment screw (5) .

4. Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle (800 rpm). Rotate adjustment screw (5) in order to adjust the pressure setting. Adjust
the main relief valve in order to obtain a pressure of 2585 ± 105 kPa (375 ± 15 psi).

5. Do not allow adjustment screw (5) to rotate when the locknut is tightened.

6. Tighten the locknut to a torque of 18 ± 4 N·m (159.0 ± 35.0 lb in).

7. Use bolts (1) in order to attach back cover (2) .
