Adjusting the Main Relief Valve Pressure
1. Install a pressure gauge in the following pres
-
sure sensor port.
• Control valve pressure sensor port.
“II. Specifications, Standards for Judg-
ing Performance”
2. Run the pump at the rated speed.
3. Operate the control valve·s cylinder spool over
its full stroke and read the value indicated by the
pressure gauge.
4. Turn the set screw (1) while watching the pres
-
sure gauge to adjust.
Turning it to the right increases the set pres
-
sure.
Turning it to the left decreases the set pressure.
5. After completing the pressure adjustment, tight
-
en the lock nut (2) while holding the set screw
