Remark Before dismantling a relief valve for overhaul (grinding in of the valve needle), the distance ’X’
must be accurately measured and the figure recorded as ’X’. For this purpose, the distance ring 4
must be pressed against the stop ring 3 by the closing plug 10.
After grinding the valve needle 2 into the seat of the valve housing 1, all the parts must be thoroughly cleaned, the
valve needle 2 lightly oiled and parts 6, 7, 9 and 11 sprayed with MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE.
During assembly, care must be taken that the disc springs 6 are correctly positioned (see Fig. ’A’). The distance ring
4 should not yet be fitted. Tighten the closing plug 10 until the distance ’X’ is about the same as before dismantling.

Checking and Setting of the Relief Valve with L’ORANGE Test Stand

For testing and setting a relief valve for the injection pump, use the L’ORANGE valve test stand tool 94272 which
belongs to the standard tools.
Use connection ’A’ (see Fig. ’B’) for this together with the right hand pump lever ’H’ and pressure gauge ’MA’
(0 –1600 bar).

Adjusting the opening pressure B

– Bolt down the testing device 94277 on the
holding angle 94273 (Fig. ’B’).
A
– Place the relief valve into the testing device
(without joint) and tighten it with special span- 94273 94275
ner 94556 as shown in Fig. ’C’.
– Connect high pressure hose 94275 to con- 94277 H
nection ’A’ and lead it to the testing device
94272
(Fig. ’B’).

12a
– Open the flushing valve 12 a little by spindle
12a (Fig. ’C’).
12
– Operate pump lever ’H’ until diesel oil es-
94277 capes bubble-free.
– Close spindle 12a.
94273
– Operate the pump lever and at the same time
observe the pressure gauge ’MA’ to see at
what pressure the relief valve opens. Correct
opening pressure = 1150 bar.
94275 – The prescribed pressure can be set by mov-
DA ing the closing plug 10. Measure the distance
1 ’X’ and note it as ’X1’ (Fig. ’A’).
10 – Now reduce the height ’Y’ of the distance ring
4 by the difference between the distances ’X1’
94556
and ’X’.
– Reassemble the relief valve (this time with
distance ring 4), tighten the closing plug 10
and finally carry out another check of the
98.7759 opening pressure.

Remark Before screwing the relief valve into the injection pump block, check that the sealing faces of the
relief valve and the injection pump block are clean since the sealing of these faces is metallic i.e.
without sealing ring! Use the special spanner 94556 to tighten the relief valve (see Fig. ’B’). Fur-
ther check the respective drain bore ’D’ for free passage in the valve housing 1 as well as in the
injection pump block.
