The main relief valve should have a 1000 kPa (145 psi) pressure difference between heavy lift mode and standard
lift mode.

Introduction
The main relief valve limits the maximum operating pressure of the travel hydraulic circuit and the
implement hydraulic circuits when the machine is at a load condition. Machines that are equipped
with heavy lift have a high-pressure setting and a low pressure setting for the main relief valve.

3. Attach a 41368 kPa (6000 psi) pressure sensor to pressure tap (1).

Test Procedure
Standard

1. Start the engine.

2. Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch
OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test (Engine Speed)" for
engine rpm settings.

3. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

4. Move the joystick for the bucket until the bucket is at the full BUCKET CLOSE position
(full extension of the bucket cylinders).

5. Check the pressure reading for the main relief valve pressure setting. Refer to Table 1.

6. Return the joystick for the bucket to the NEUTRAL position.

Heavy Lift (If Equipped)

Note: The main relief valve should have a 1000 kPa (145 psi) pressure difference between heavy
lift mode and standard lift mode.

1. Start the engine.

2. Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch
OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test (Engine Speed)" for
engine rpm settings.

3. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

4. Set heavy lift switch (2) to the OFF position. The indicator light should not be illuminated.

5. Move the joystick for the bucket until the bucket is at the full BUCKET CLOSE position
(full extension of the bucket cylinders).

6. Check the pressure reading for the main relief valve pressure setting. Refer to Table 1.

7. Return the joystick for the bucket to the NEUTRAL position.

8. Set heavy lift switch (2) to the ON setting. Make sure that the indicator light is on.

9. Move the joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM RAISE position (full
extension of boom cylinders).

10. Check the pressure setting of the heavy lift at pressure tap (1). Refer to Table 1

11. Return the joystick for the boom to the NEUTRAL position.

Adjustment Procedure

(A) Adjustment screw
(L) Locknut

1. Loosen the locknut and turn the adjustment screw until the pressure reading at the pressure
tap for the drive pump is within the specification. Refer to Table 1.

Note: Turn the adjustment screw clockwise in order to increase the pressure. Turn the
adjustment screw counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure.

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

2. Tighten the locknut.

When the main relief pressure setting is adjusted, the pressure setting for heavy lift is not affected.
When adjustment screw (AM) is turned counterclockwise in order to decrease the main relief
setting, the pressure difference between the main relief setting and the pressure setting for heavy
lift will increase. When adjustment screw (AM) is turned clockwise in order to increase the main
relief setting, the pressure difference between the main relief setting and the pressure setting for
heavy lift will decrease.

When the pressure setting for heavy lift is increased, the main relief setting is also increased. The
decrease of the pressure setting for heavy lift causes the main relief setting to be also decreased.
The relief valve pressure setting for heavy lift and the relief pressure setting for the main relief are
shown in Table 1.

Switch for heavy lift

1. Heavy lift switch (2) must be set to the ON position. Make sure that the indicator light is on.

2. Loosen locknut (LM). Turn adjustment screw (AM) clockwise until the adjustment screw
stops.

3. Tighten locknut (LM).

4. Loosen locknut (LH).

5. Move the joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM RAISE position (full
extension of boom cylinders).

6. Check the pressure reading for the setting for heavy lift of the main relief valve at the
pressure tap for the drive pump. Refer to Table 1.

7. Return the joystick for the boom to the NEUTRAL position.

8. Adjust the pressure setting for heavy lift to the specification. Turn the adjustment screw
(AH) clockwise in order to increase the pressure. Turn the adjustment screw (AH)
counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure. Refer to Table 1.

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

9. Tighten locknut (LH). Do not allow adjustment screw (AH) to move.

10. Set heavy lift switch (2) to the OFF position. The indicator light should not be illuminated.

11. Loosen locknut (LM).

12. Adjust the main relief pressure setting to the specification by turning adjustment screw
(AM) counterclockwise. Refer to Table 1.

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

13. Tighten locknut (LM). Do not allow adjustment screw (AM) to move.

Note: If the pilot line for heavy lift prevents proper adjustment of the relief valve settings,
the line can be removed in order to make the adjustments. The machine will need to be off
and the hydraulic system pressure will need to be released in order to remove the pilot line
for heavy lift. Before starting the machine and checking the pressure settings, adjust the
relief valves and reconnect the pilot line.
