WARNING
MAINTAIN FEEDWHEEL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AT SPECIFIED PSI (bar).
Before attempting any hydraulic pressure settings, make sure engine is shut off, engine key removed and in
your possession, hydraulic oil is clean, hydraulic tank is 7/8 full, and the machine has been pre-run to warm the
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 feedwheel control valve where you disconnected the hose 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 by first removing hex head cap, then loosen the jam nut, finally use an allen
wrench to adjust pressure setting, if needed. If not needed, shut off engine and remove plug and gauge.
10. Reassemble hose from feedwheel motor to feedwheel control valve.
11. Check for hydraulic leaks.
12. Relief valve pressure should be checked and/or readjusted every month for best performance.
