Charge Relief Valve
(2) Charge Relief Valve.
1.
Make sure that the parking brake is applied. Make sure
that the propel control lever is in NEUTRAL position.
2.
Connect a 4000 kPa (580 psi) pressure gauge to
pressure test port (1) next to the propel charge filter.
3.
Start the engine. Run the engine at high idle. Check
the pressure gauge. The setting for the charge relief
valve should be 2900 ± 140 kPa (420 ± 20 psi).

Charge Relief Valve
(3) Shim.
4.
The charge relief valve must be adjusted if the pressure
setting is incorrect In order to adjust the charge
pressure, stop the engine and remove the charge relief
valve from the drum propel pump.
5.
If the charge pressure is too low, add shims (3) to the
charge relief valve. If the charge pressure is too high,
remove shims (3) from the charge relief valve.
NOTE:
When the shims are added to the charge relief
valve, a 1 mm (0.04 inch) shim is the equivalent of
reducing the charge pressure by 390 kPa (56.5
psi). When the shims are removed from the
charge relief valve, a 1 mm (0.04 inch) shim is
equal to raising the charge pressure by 390 kPa
(56.5 psi).
6.
Reinstall the charge relief valve.
7.
Perform this test again in order to verify the charge
pressure after the adjustments have been made.
8.
Remove the pressure gauge from the test port.
