hydraulic oil. To correctly check relief valve pressure, gauge MUST
be installed correctly.
1. First put the control handle in the off position.
. Disconnect the hydraulic hose going from the control valve to the feedwheel motor at the feedwheel
control valve end.
. Leave all other hydraulic hoses connected.
. Install pressure gauge in port on the control valve from which the hose was disconnected and plug the
end of the hose.
. Start engine with the control handle in the off position.
6. Adjust engine to full throttle.
7. Engage control handle to the normal operating position to activate a reading on the pressure gauge.
8. Pressure gauge should read maximum specified PSI (bar).
ONLY ENGAGE CONTROL HANDLE FOR 4-5 SECONDS TO SET PRESSURE OR YOU MAY
DAMAGE HYDRAULICS.
9. Readjust relief pressure setting if needed, if not needed, shut off engine and remove plug and gauge.
Reassemble the hose to the control valve.
