prescribed value for pressure cut-off "Pda" see
value in adjustment check list.
Observe the positioning pressure on gauge 44
(43) while screwing in the adjustment screw
23.3.1 resp. 24.3.1 of the cut off valve. Screw
in until the positioning pressure does not
increase anymore (remains constant at
approx. 200 bar), then unscrew slowly the
adjustment screw of the cut off valve until the
positioning pressure begins to decrease.
Retighten the counter nuts at the pressure cut-
off valves 23.3.1 bzw. 24.3.1 .
Reset the primary relief valve, 120 (121) as accurate
as possible to cut-off pressure (Pda) + 10 bar (use the
same pressure gauge).

On the machines fitted with two stage primary relief

valves, the response pressure of the primary valves is
raised when certain movements are actuated (as an ex.
the travel movements, ), and at the same time the
pressure cut-off valves are override (Servo pressure 30
bar is switched to the port Pst of the pump regulator).
The beginning of pressure cut – off is then increased (~
380 bar) and it can no longer be checked.
The adjustment of the pressure cut – off valves must
always be performed when the port Pst is pressure
less, (absence of travel movements, ...).

The above described procedure for the pressure cut-off adjustment is prescribed since approx begin of 2005.
Up to end of 2004 a somewhat different method of adjusting was recommended, method for which we indicated the values
Pda(end) and Ppos(end) see the description below in paragraph 3.3.1.
It is however favourable to employ the new adjustment procedure also for the previous machines (2004 and before). To
adjust always set the value for pressure cut-off (Pda) to primary pressure – 10 bar (see the prescribed value for primary
pressure In the adjustment check list of the concerned machine).
