a. Testing.
(1)
Remove cap (1) from test port (2) on backhoe
valve block (3).
(2)
Install gauge (4) on test port (2).
(3)
Start engine and ensure engine speed is at idle
and hydraulic master switch is in OFF
position (TM 5-2420-230-10).
(4)
Use hydraulic valve manual override lever to
stall out backhoe bucket hydraulic circuit on
backhoe valve block (3).
(5)
Observe gauge (4). Gauge should read
3,000 psi (20 684 kPa).
NOTE
Backhoe relief valve only requires small
amount of rotation to properly adjust
hydraulic pressure.
Turning backhoe relief valve clockwise
increases hydraulic pressure and turning
counterclockwise lowers the pressure.
(6)
If pressure is not 3,000 psi (20 684 kPa), use 6-mm Allen wrench to rotate backhoe relief valve (5) until the correct
pressure is displayed on gauge (4).
