CHARGE PRESSURE
RELIEF VALVE
ADJUSTMENT
The following procedure explains how to check and adjust the charge pressure relief
valve.
Warning
The following procedure
may require the ve hicle/
machine to be disabled
(wheels raised off the
ground, work function
disconnected, etc.) in order
to prevent injury to the
technician and by standers.
Take necessary safety
precau tions before moving
the vehicle/machine.
Listed pressures assume a pump speed
of 1500 min
-1
(rpm). At higher pump
input speeds (with higher charge flows)
the charge pressure will rise over the
rated set ting.

reading minus the case pressure port gauge
reading.

Charge pressure relief valve
1. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] pressure gauge in the pump charge pres sure gauge port
(M3). Install a 10 bar [100 psi] gauge to measure case pres sure (tee into L1 or L2 or
use servo gauge port M4 or M5). Operate the system with the pump in neutral (zero
displacement) when measuring pump charge pressure.
2. The table shows the acceptable pump charge pressure range for some charge relief
valve settings. These pressures assume 1500 min¯¹ (rpm) and a reservoir temperature
of 50°C [120°F], and are referenced to case pressure.
