3. Install the pressure test gauge in the boom cylin-
der at 1.
4. Start the engine and run it at full throttle
(3070 - 3150 RPM) to bring the hydraulic oil to
operating temperature.
5. Operate the boom control to raise the boom to
the fully raised position until the system by-
passes and take a pressure reading. Lower the
boom down to the boom lockpins and relieve
pressure in the system.
6. The pressure should be from 177 - 190 bar (2600
- 2800 PSI) when the hydraulic oil is at operating
temperature.

7. The relief valve is a cartridge type and is not ad-
justable. Replace the relief valve cartridge, 1, if
the pressure is not within specifications.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to change the pressure setting or
alter the pressure to a higher setting as the
hydraulic components, hoses, tubes, and
cylinders may be damaged and could cause
injury.
