Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust - Heavy Lift: 320D Excavator Hydraulic System

This document provides instructions for testing and adjusting the relief valve settings on the hydraulic system of a 320D excavator powered by a C6.4 engine. It describes how to test the heavy lift and main relief valve pressure settings and adjust them if needed to specifications of 36,000 kPa and 35,000 kPa respectively using pressure taps and gauges. It also describes how to temporarily increase the main relief valve setting in order to adjust other line relief valves.

1. Position the machine on level ground and stop the engine.

2. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic
System Pressure - Release".

(2) Pressure tap (delivery pressure for idler pump)

(3) Pressure tap (power shift pressure)

3. Attach a 60000 kPa (8700 psi) pressure gauge to pressure tap (1) .

4. Start the engine.

5. Place the machine controls at the following settings: engine speed dial "10" and AEC switch
OFF. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Performance - Test (Engine Speed)" for engine
rpm settings.

6. Set heavy lift switch (9) to the ON setting. Make sure that the indicator light is on.

7. Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° ± 5°C (131° ± 9°F).

8. Raise the boom until the boom cylinder rods are at full extension.

9. Check the pressure setting of the heavy lift at pressure tap (1) .

10. Return the joystick for the boom to the NEUTRAL position.

(8) Adjustment screw for the main relief valve

Note: When the main relief setting is adjusted the heavy lift setting is not affected. When
adjustment screw (8) is turned counterclockwise in order to decrease the main relief setting the
pressure difference between the main relief setting and heavy lift setting will increase. When
adjustment screw (8) is turned clockwise in order to increase the main relief setting the
pressure difference between the main relief setting and heavy lift setting will decrease.

Note: When the heavy lift setting is increased the main relief setting is also increased. When
the heavy lift setting is decreased the main relief setting is also decreased.

11. The relief valve pressure setting for heavy lift should be 36000 ± 500 kPa (5220 ± 73 psi). If
the relief valve pressure setting for heavy lift is not within the specification, adjust the relief
valve pressure setting for heavy lift.

a. Loosen locknut (5) in order to adjust the relief valve for the heavy lift. Adjust the

pressure by turning adjustment screw for the heavy lift (6) until the pressure gauge
reading at pressure tap (1) is 36000 ± 500 kPa (5220 ± 73 psi).

Note: Turning adjustment screw (6) clockwise increases the pressure. Turning
adjustment screw (6) counterclockwise decreases the pressure.

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

b. Tighten locknut (5) to a torque of 70 ± 10 N·m (50 ± 7 lb ft).

Note: Confirm the heavy lift pressure by raising the boom until the boom cylinder rods
are at full extension.

12. Set heavy lift switch (9) to the OFF setting. The indicator light should not be illuminated.

13. Open the bucket until the bucket cylinder rod is at full retraction.

14. Check the main relief valve pressure setting at pressure tap (1) .

15. Return the joystick for the bucket to the NEUTRAL position.

16. The main relief valve pressure setting should be 35000 ± 500 kPa (5075 ± 72 psi). If the main
relief valve pressure setting is not within the specification, adjust the main relief valve
pressure setting.

Note: During adjustment of screw (8), do not allow screw (6) to move.

17. In order to adjust the main relief valve, loosen locknut (7) and turn adjustment screw (8) until
the pressure gauge reading at pressure tap (1) is 35000 ± 500 kPa (5075 ± 72 psi).

Note: Turning adjustment screw (8) clockwise increases the pressure. Turning adjustment
screw (8) counterclockwise decreases the pressure.

Note: Always make final pressure adjustments on pressure rise.

18. Tighten locknut (7) to a torque of 50 ± 10 N·m (37 ± 7 lb ft).

Note: If the pilot line for heavy lift prevents proper adjustment of the relief valve settings, the line
can be removed in order to make the adjustments. The machine will need to be off and the hydraulic
system pressure will need to be released in order to remove the pilot line for heavy lift. Make
adjustments to the relief valves and reconnect the pilot line before starting the machine and checking
the pressure settings.

Temporary Setting of the Main Relief Valve


Note: In order to adjust line relief valve pressure settings, the main relief valve must be temporarily
adjusted to a higher setting since the line relief valve pressure settings are higher than the main relief
valve pressure setting.

(9) Heavy lift switch

1. Set the heavy lift switch (9) to the ON setting. Make sure that the indicator light is ON.

2. The main relief valve pressure setting should be 36000 ± 500 kPa (5220 ± 73 psi) when the
heavy lift mode is on. If the main relief valve is not within the specification, adjust the main
relief valve pressure setting to the correct pressure specification before performing Step 3.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust (Heavy Lift)".

5. Perform the desired steps for testing and adjusting the line relief valves.

6. Reset main relief valve pressure setting to the normal operating condition. Refer to Testing
and Adjusting, "Relief Valve (Main) - Test and Adjust (Heavy Lift)".
