HYDRAULICS
MAINTAIN FEEDWHEEL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AT SPECIFIED PSI (bar)
Follow typical hydraulic flow and relief settings on page 52
Follow proper hydraulic oil requirements on page 51
The relief valve is typically located internally in the control valve. Do not adjust this relief valve above
2500 PSI (172 bar). The relief valve system is a simple spring tension design but small pieces of debris can
stick the valve partially open which weakens the feedwheel power. The relief, hydraulic oil, and screen must
be kept clean.
CONTROL VALVE RELIEF
1. VALVE SEAT:
The springs pushes the relief valve ball against it, until pressure builds. Make sure there
is no cracking or distortion to the valve seat. Replace if damage occurs. Use a 7/32” allen wrench to
remove the valve seat.
2. POPPIT VALVE:
This ball opens and closes to relieve excess pressure on hydraulic system.
3. RELIEF SPRING:
This spring tensions the amount of pressure required to open the relief valve ball. This
spring weakens and must be checked and/or readjusted every month for best performance.
4. ALLEN SET SCREW:
Turn clockwise using a 1/4” allen wrench to increase pressure, but do not surpass
maximum of the specifi ed PSI (bar). Previous valves require 7/32” allen wrench or a fl at head screw driver.
5. HEX HEAD PLUG:
Remove to access the relief valve with a 5/8” wrench.
