l. Press left key (D) or right key (F) in order to increase or decrease the numeric value that is
displayed on line 4 of the display. Pressing left key (D) decreases the power shift pressure.
Pressing right key (F) increases the power shift pressure.
Note: The value for power shift pressure on the monitor may not always match the
pressure reading on the pressure gauge. Adjust the value on the monitor until the desired
power shift pressure is attained on the pressure gauge that is connected to the pressure
tap for power shift pressure. The actual power shift pressure must be 2850 kPa (415 psi)
on the pressure gauge.
Note: To prevent a change in power shift pressure during the relief valve adjustment, do
not exit the "DEVICE TEST" screen and do not turn the engine start switch to the OFF
position.

Note: In order to adjust the line relief valve pressure setting for the boom cylinder rod end, a
temporary adjustment of the line relief valve for the bucket cylinder rod end must be performed.

screw (15) by one half turn in a clockwise direction. Tighten locknut (14) on the line relief valve
for the bucket cylinder.
2. Move the joystick for the bucket until the bucket is at the full BUCKET OPEN position (full
retraction of the bucket cylinder). Hold the joystick for the bucket in this position. At the same
time, move the joystick for the boom until the boom is at the full BOOM DOWN position (full
retraction of boom cylinders). Hold the joystick for the boom in this position.

8. After completion of line relief valve adjustment for the boom cylinders, return the line relief valve
pressure setting of the bucket to the specified pressure setting.
Note: If an appropriate location is not available to fully extend the boom cylinders, exchange the
functions of the boom line relief valves. Remove the line relief valve for the boom cylinder head end
and the line relief valve for the boom cylinder rod end from the main control valve. Exchange the
location of the line relief valves. Adjust the pressure of the boom line relief valve that is now
attached in the head end. After completion of line relief valve adjustment, return the respective line
relief valves to the original locations.
