CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE
Cross line relief valves are fitted to the top of each hydraulic motor on your bucket as
additional protection for the motor against damage.
TO SET THE CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE
The Valve is pre-set to 180 bar prior to delivery in the event that you do not make any
adjustments yourself to give your motor protection against major blockages.
We recommend that you re-set the valve in accordance to your own requirements and
feed type as follows;
Before beginning, HALF fill your bucket with clean feed. That means NO stones or
foreign bodies at all while setting up.
The adjustments are made via an Allen (Hex Key) socket that is easily visible on the
valve. (Not the one underneath).
Follow the steps below to set the sensitivity of your cross line relief valve; this can be set
as keen as you like.
1.
Start your loader and begin discharging the half bucket of feed.
2.
Turn the Allen Key adjuster (whilst the bucket is mixing) anti clockwise until the
auger stops.
3.
Proceed to turn the adjuster clockwise again until the auger re-starts and you are
happy with the flow. This is setting the sensitivity of the valve.
4.
Depending how sensitive this is set will depend if the valve allows small stones/
obstructions through or stops the flow of oil with any small/minor obstruction.
5.
Re-adjust as required if you find it is too sensitive. It may be that the valve also
requires adjustment for different types of feed.
If you require any assistance with setting up the cross line relief valve, please do not
hesitate to telephone and we will be pleased to assist you.
This valve is fitted for the protection of your hydraulic motor and associated
components. Damages and failure as a result of not setting the Cross Line Relief Valve
are your own responsibility.
