Introduction
The line relief valves are located between each cylinder and the respective control valve. The line
relief valve limits the overload pressures that can be created in the implement cylinders. The line
relief valves are accessible from above the main control valve and below the machine after
removal of the access plate.

1. Start the engine.

2. Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.

3. 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.

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

5. Move the joystick for the stick until the stick is at the full STICK OUT position (full
retraction of the stick cylinder).

6. Check the main relief valve pressure setting at pressure tap (1) or pressure tap (2). The main
relief valve pressure setting should be 35000 + 500 -1000 kPa (5076 + 73 - 145 psi).

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

8. Verify the temporary main relief pressure setting with a second function. Move the joystick
for the boom until the boom is at full BOOM RAISE position (full extension of the boom
cylinder). The main relief pressure should be 37000 + 2000 - 1000 kPa
(5366 + 290 - 145 psi).

9. Mark the original position of the line relief for the bucket cylinder head end (7).

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

11. Check the pressure setting of the line relief for the bucket cylinder head end (7).

12. Loosen the locknut of the bucket line relief valve. Turn adjustment screw of the bucket line
relief valve until the pressure reading at pressure tap (1) is 35000 kPa (5076 psi).

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

14. Check the pressure setting of the line relief for the bucket cylinder head end (7).

15. Turn the adjustment screw of the bucket line relief valve until the pressure reading at
pressure tap (1) is 37000 + 2000 - 1000 kPa (5366 + 290 - 145 psi).

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on the pressure rise.

Note: In order to prevent over setting, the adjustment should be stopped immediately
after the pressure becomes within specification.

16. Repeat Step 9 to Step 15 for the following line relief valves:

◦ Line relief valve for bucket cylinder rod end

◦ Line relief valve for stick cylinder head end

◦ Line relief valve for boom cylinder rod end

17. Reset main relief valve pressure setting to the normal operating condition after the
completion of the line relief test and adjust. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve
(Main) - Test and Adjust".
