Valve Pressures
Date Equipment ID Code
Item Specification Actual
Pressure Reducing Valve (High Idle) 3275 ± 175 kPa (475 ± 25 psi)
Relief Valve 6483 ± 345 kPa (940 ± 50 psi)
Introduction
The pressure reducing valve reduces the implement hydraulic pressure. The relief valve
prevents excessive pressure buildup in the pilot system. If a high-pressure situation
occurs, the relief valve will open. Excess pressure is relieved through the valve.
The pressure in the pilot system controls the response of the implements. Low pilot
pressure produces poor response in the implement control levers. High pilot pressure
produces extreme sensitivity in the implement control levers.

The following test procedure will verify whether the pressure setting for the pilot pressure
is within the specified limit. The following adjustment procedure will explain the
procedure for adjusting the pilot pressure.
Pilot pressure is controlled by the pressure reducing valve, which is located in the pilot
manifold.

(CP) Pressure tap
Note: Low pilot pressure produces poor response at the pilot control levers. High pilot
pressure produces extreme sensitivity at the pilot control levers.
1. Attach tooling (A) to pressure tap (CP) for pilot pressure on the right fender.

(1) Pressure reducing valve
1. Loosen the locknut on the adjustment screw of pressure reducing valve (1). Turn the
adjustment screw until the pilot pressure is correct.
Note: One turn adjusts the pilot pressure by 1380 kPa (200 psi).

(2) Relief valve
The relief valve (2) can be removed for a bench test, if necessary. The relief valve is a
non-serviceable valve. The relief valve needs tested in order to ensure proper operation.
1. Remove relief valve (2). Install the relief valve in the test bench to a torque of
50 ± 5 N·m (37 ± 4 lb ft).
2. The relief valve should open at 6483 ± 345 kPa (940 ± 50 psi) with the oil flow rate
at 1.0 L/min (0.26 US gpm). If the relief valve pressure is correct, then go to Step 3.
If the relief valve pressure is not correct, the valve must be replaced.
3. Install the relief valve in the machine. Tighten relief valve (2) to a torque of
50 ± 5 N·m (37 ± 4 lb ft).
