… from loose Sheets to a Book!
BACKGROUND
Begun in the 1990’s as an aid to Komatsu Hydraulic Excavator Shop Manual’s Te sting &
Adjusting sections, these popular documents have also been widely used as training aids and
exercises to teach the proper methods and sequence for H/E T&A. Due to their wide use in initial
and recurrent training, their convenience and purposeful organization toward product
PERFORMANCE, these documents are now popularly used to perform and document product
performance at ALL stages of product life. These ‘sheets’ are used from PDI to PM Tune Up’s to
Repair and Troubleshooting.
In Training, no machine can be understood properly without first “MEASURING” the product’s
condition and performance according to its intended design. Consolidating elements of Structure,
Function, STD Values, Testing, Adjusting & Troubleshooting this format is brief yet complete – to
OUR BEST KNOWLEDGE! Watch for revisions as we STRIVE TO IMPROVE in both PRODUCT
KNOWLEDGE and COMMUNICATION of same.
1. Engine Speeds – vital health criteria in a diesel powered hydraulically operated product such
as Hyd/Exc etc. Failure to verify proper Diesel performance wastes time on ANY further element (in
operational diagnostics).
2. Cycle Times – these confirm the “FLOW” constituent of Hydraulic HP while
“PRESSUR ES” usually remain constant. Therefore, any +/- in flow is a direct Hyd.HP result. Be
certain to benchmark these BOTH prior to and AFTER any adjusting.
3. PPC or ‘pilot’ pressure – confirming the controls work before use!
4. Main Pressures – While adjustable, these must be verified and ‘balanced’ (multi-pump
product) before adjusting other ‘pressure’ sensitive control devices (such as LS or PC/TCC/TVC).
5. LS-EPC (if equipped) – must verify operation correct PRIOR to any attempt to verify or
adjust the LS Valve(s).
6. Servo In Pressure Ratio (to main) is only a TEST. Nothing can be adjusted here because the
very items being tested (LS & PC/TCC/TVC) are, in subsequent elements, going to be TESTED &
ADJUSTED, provided this step reveals they are operating as designed, in GENERAL.
7. LS Valve(s) adjustment – resulting in proper LS Differential Pressure(s) and that multi-
pump product have as CLOSE a BALANCE as possible, giving product best possible pump synergy
for best Hyd. HP and best possible combination of POWER and FINE CONTROL.
8. PC-EPC (if equipped) operation verified prior to PC adjusting.
9. HP Valve (PC/TCC/TVC) adjustment – results in BEST ENGINE USE for both power and
most efficient use of fuel. This sets pump(s) limits.
10. RECHECK Cycle times (Element 2). This documents performance results or reveals any
error(s) in adjusting which may be corrected for the best possible product.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure as a supplement to the Shop Manual when testing & adjusting the Komatsu BR350JG-1
machines serial number 1005 & higher. NOTE! Hydraulic adapters must be FITTED prior to using this
procedure. See diagrams on last pages.
Always ensure that any known abnormalities are resolved and are normal before continuing with this procedure. See
the “Points to Remember when Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting Procedure” section in the Shop manual for
instructions. Follow this procedure in order from
1-9 because skipping one step will affect the measurements in the following steps..
1) Warm the machine up to operating temperature, and record all of the following Engine Speeds. Compare these with the
specified values. Adjust the engine speed if necessary. See page 20-103 in the Testing and Adjusting section of the Shop
Manual for directions on how to connect a tachometer, required for Step 8 also.

d. BOTH tracks relief 2000 – 2200
e. Left Trk (FP) Relief 2000 – 2200
f. Right Trk (RP) Relief 2000 – 2200
g. High FREE Idle 2230 – 2370
2) Measure and record all of the Cycle Times listed below. See the Shop Manual for procedural details. Use same photo-
Tach as in Step 1, above.

7) PC EPC output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the PC EPC solenoid valve. Attach
a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Start the engine, High Idle, track over relief and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of the
valve at this time. The pressure should be within the standard values below. FUNCTION TEST – OK if engine NOT stalled
when tracks relieved AT LOW IDLE.
8) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You can use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. If the rpm with the track over relief is not within the standard value range,
adjust the PC valve on each pump (DIVIDED!) to give you the correct rpm. Use the Travel over relief to inform you if the
PC valve for each pump is adjusted within 20 rpm of the other.
9) Recheck all cycle times, and note in the table under #2 the new measurements.
The Self-Pressure Reducing Valve is located on the rear of the main control valve. The outlet hose for the front pump attaches to
this valve. To access the Control Pressure Relief valve remove the partition between the engine and the main control valve. As
you can see below, the relief valve is located on the bottom of the Self-Pressure Reducing valve.

7) Measure and adjust the LS Differential Pressure using the tracks as outlined in the Shop Manual. Raise one side of the
machine, ( HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised track Half - Lever Stroke (easily held
steady at a chosen value such as 85 kg/cm2 of Main Pressure). At this point the Main pressure should be 80 - 100 kg/cm2.
Adjust the LS Differential pressure to within standard values.
Standard Value, kg/cm2
* LS Verification: Since track operation may cause erratic readings on the more sensitive digital DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
GUAGES, another method of final verification is to use BOOM UP or ARM OUT functions to get a “final, steady LS
Differential” reading. Operate the chosen function at some steady speed roughly at ½ or less as long as main pressure is
kept steady for the most repeatable and reliable reading of MAIN – LS = LS Differential.
8) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. Test rpm with the Arm over relief at high idle. If not within the standard value
range, adjust the PC valve on the main pump to give you the correct rpm over relief using the arm or bucket over relief.
9) Test 4 SYSTEM for Depth “Zero” feature s, Depth, Height, Offset & APD Stops:

WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Set the high pressure setting (380 - 400) with the track FIRST, then set the
low pressure setting (345 - 360) second. Use the Left track to set the (2) TOP Relief valve, and the Right Track to set the (1)
BOTTOM relief valve.
To set the low pressure setting disconnect the 2 Stage Relief Solenoid valve (connector V__), then use the track to measure the
low pressure setting. Using this procedure set the relief valve 10 kg/cm2 higher than you want it to be. Example: If you want the
arm, boom, & bucket pressure to be 355 kg/cm2. Set low-pressure setting of the relief valve using the track with the 2-stage relief
solenoid disconnected to 365 kg/cm2.

8) PC EPC output pressure: Connect the coupler nipple to the PC EPC pressure check port on top of rear pump. Attach a
60kg/cm2 gauge to the nipple. Bring up monitoring code 13 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to the solenoid
while testing. Start the engine, A mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, arm over relief, Power Max, and measure the oil
pressure at the outlet of the valve at this time. The pressure and current should be within the standard values below.

9) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. Test rpm with the Arm over relief Power Max “ON”. If not within the
standard value range, adjust the PC valve on each pump to give you the correct rpm over relief using the stalled track
(ensures both high relief pressure and divided pumps when travel operated WITHOUT any other function). Use the Travel
over relief to inform you if the PC valve for each pump is adjusted within 20 rpm of the other.

• Note: Adjust the PC valves to the midpoint of this range. If you adjust to the low end of the range the machine will not go
much faster, but will use a lot more fuel. PC Valves can “hide” a sick engine! Always ensure the engine care and health is
verified prior to making hydraulic system adjustments. Divided pump target RPM’s will need to be about 50 – 100 higher
than the merged, 2 pump values.
10) Recheck Boom Raise and Arm out to determine results in oil flow (Hy HP).

LS Differential - PRESSURE Method: Measure and adjust the LS Differential Pressure using the tracks as outlined in the Shop
Manual. Raise one side of the machine, (A mode, HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised track
Partial - Lever Stroke (easily held steady at a chosen value such as 85 kg/cm2 of Main Pressure). At this point the Main
pressure should be 80 - 100 kg/cm2. Adjust the LS Differential pressure to within standard values. Repeat this procedure for
the opposite track and pump.

4) Measure the Main Relief and Unload valve pressures using the machine monitor panel codes 11 & 12. Compare with
the standard values listed below, and adjust if necessary.
WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Set the high pressure setting (345-370) with the track FIRST, then set the
low pressure setting (315-335) second. Use the Left track to set the Left Relief valve, and the Right Track to set the right relief
valve.
To set the low pressure setting disconnect the 2 Stage Relief Solenoid valve (connector V05), then use the track to measure the
low pressure setting. Using this procedure set the relief valve 10 kg/cm2 higher than you want it to be. Example: If you want the
arm, boom, & bucket pressure to be 325 kg/cm2. Set low-pressure setting of the relief valve using the track with the 2-stage relief
solenoid disconnected to 335 kg/cm2.
5) LS EPC output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the LS EPC solenoid valve. Attach a
60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 15 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to the solenoid
while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of the valve at
neutral and while moving a work equipment lever. The pressure and current should be within the standard values below.
Item Actual value All levers in neutral Any work eq. lever moved
LS EPC current (code 15) * 870 - 930 mA 0 - 10 mA
LS EPC output pressure ** 30 kg/cm2 0
* Connector corrosion (even slight) can lower current readout even though function is normal.
** FUNCTION TEST = is Mi Tvl normal? Then LS EPC is also!
6) Measure the (Servo Input Pressure), and compare with the main pressure at the same time. (This test verifies that the LS
circuit, LS valve, and the PC valve are working properly.)

8) PC EPC output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the PC EPC solenoid valve. Attach
a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 13 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to the
solenoid while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, arm over relief, Power Max, and measure
the oil pressure at the outlet of the valve at this time. The pressure and current should be within the standard values below.

9) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. Test rpm with the Arm over relief Power Max “ON”. If not within the
standard value range, adjust the PC valve on each pump to give you the correct rpm over relief using the stalled track
(ensures both high relief pressure and divided pumps when travel operated WITHOUT any other function). Use the Travel
over relief to inform you if the PC valve for each pump is adjusted within 20 rpm of the other.

• Note: Adjust the PC valves to the midpoint of this range. If you adjust to the low end of the range the machine will not go
much faster, but will use a lot more fuel. PC Valves can “hide” a sick engine! Always ensure the engine care and health is
verified prior to making hydraulic system adjustments. Divided pump target RPM’s will need to be about 50 – 100 higher
than the merged, 2 pump values.
10) Recheck all cycle times, and note in the table under #2 the new measurements.
The Self-Pressure Reducing Valve is located on the rear of the main control valve. The outlet hose for the front pump attaches to
this valve. To access the Control Pressure Relief valve remove the partition between the engine and the main control valve. As
you can see below, the relief valve is located on the bottom of the Self-Pressure Reducing valve. ** PC300 to 450-6 Installation is
90 Degrees Rotated CCW from this!!**
LS Differential - PRESSURE Method: Measure and adjust the LS Differential Pressure using the tracks as outlined in the Shop
Manual. Raise one side of the machine, (HO mode, HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised
track Partial - Lever Stroke (easily held steady at a chosen value such as 85 kg/cm2 of Main Pressure). At this point the
Main pressure should be 80 - 100 kg/cm2. Adjust the LS Differential pressure to within standard values. Repeat this
procedure for the opposite track and pump.
Measurement conditions Actual Value After Adjusting Standard Value, kg/cm2

rotating at half stroke, Front Pump
H/O, Hi Idle, Neutral, Rear Pump 30 – 50
H/O, Hi Idle, Hi Travel speed, Right Track 21 – 23

• LS Verification: Since track operation may cause erratic readings on the more sensitive digital DIFFERENTIAL
PRESSURE GUAGES, another method of final verification is to use BOOM UP or ARM OUT functions to get a “final,
steady LS Differential” reading. Operate the chosen function at a steady speed roughly at 50-80% as long as main pressure
(codes 11, 12) is kept steady for the most repeatable and reliable reading of MAIN – LS = LS Differential.

WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Stall each track individually and measure the pressure (HO mode, Full Throttle,
Swing Lock “OFF.”) This will give you the power max pressure setting with the pumps divided. The left track is using the rear
pump and left main relief valve and the right track is using the front pump and right main relief valve. Adjust to 355 +/- 10
kg/cm2 using the track. Verify the settings using the work equipment independently in HO mode, Swing Lock “OFF,” over relief.
Readings should be 345 +/- 10 kg/cm2.
Note: The PC 300 and PC 400 utilize a single stage relief valve. The higher Power Max setting is simply achieved by sending
more flow through the same size relief valve. For this reason, the higher setting should be used to set the relief valves as described
above.
5) LS EPC current & output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the LS EPC solenoid
valve. Attach a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 15 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to
the solenoid while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of
the valve at neutral and while moving a work equipment lever. The pressure and current should be within the standard values
below.
Item Actual value All levers in neutral Any work eq. lever moved
LS EPC current (code 15) 870 - 930 mA 0 - 10 mA
LS EPC output pressure 30 kg/cm2 0
** FUNCTION TEST = is Mi Tvl normal? Then LS EPC is also!
6) Measure the TVC valve output pressure (Servo Input Pressure), as outlined in the Testing and Adjusting section of the Shop
Manual. Verify that you have 2/5 of main pressure at the servo input with the Arm in over relief, Swing Lock “ON”, and
Power Max “ON.” (This verifies that the LS circuit, LS Valve, and the TVC Valve are working properly.)

8) TVC Valve adjustment: Measure the TVC valve adjustment using engine RPM. The engine RPM at 2-pump relief and
power max is the best judge of how well the TVC’s are loading the engine (Step A below). If the 2-pump/power max relief
RPM is not within specifications, use the following procedure to adjust them.

NOTE: The Pump Merge/Divide valve is not actuated with the Active Mode switch, so you cannot divide the pumps with
this switch to set the TVC valves individually.
To set the TVC valves individually, check the RPM drop of each by doing Steps B & C above. Adjust each pump to within 20
rpm of each other, and to give you a 2 pump rpm within the Standard Value.
Alternate Procedure:
A) Switch the connector (CN-VO5) for the Boom High/Low solenoid with the connector (CN-VO3) for the pump
Merge/Divide solenoid. Then you can turn the Boom High/Low switch “ON” to activate the merge/divide valve, and
divide the pumps.
B) Rear Pump: With the pumps divided, Hold the Arm IN over relief and measure the engine rpm.
C) Front Pump: With the pumps divided, Hold the Boom UP over relief and measure the engine rpm.
EXAMPLE: PC 300LC-6, RPM at 2-pump power max relief 1850. Spec is 1690 - 1790.
8A) Rear pump rpm drop 1870, adjust rear pump TVC to 1830.
8B) Front pump rpm drop 1880, adjust front pump TVC to 1830.
RECHECK 2 PUMP / POWER MAX RELIEF, after adjustment it is 1730 (within spec.)
9) Recheck all cycle times, and compare with those recorded in step 1.
LS Differential – Pressure Method Using the tracks as outlined in the Shop Manual. Raise one side of the machine, (HO mode,
HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised track Half - Lever Stroke (easily held steady at a

WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Stall each track individually and measure the pressure (HO mode, Full Throttle,
Swing Lock “OFF.”) This will give you the power max pressure setting with the pumps divided. The left track is using the rear
pump and left main relief valve and the right track is using the front pump and right main relief valve. Adjust to 355 +/- 10
kg/cm2 using the track. Verify the settings using the work equipment independently in HO mode, Swing Lock “OFF,” over relief.
Readings should be 345 +/- 10 kg/cm2.
Note: The PC 300 and PC 400 utilize a single stage relief valve. The higher Power Max setting is simply achieved by sending
more flow through the same size relief valve. For this reason, the higher setting should be used to set the relief valves as described
above.
5) LS EPC current & output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the LS EPC solenoid
valve. Attach a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 15 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to
the solenoid while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of
the valve at neutral and while moving a work equipment lever. The pressure and current should be within the standard values
below.
Item Actual value All levers in neutral Any work eq. lever moved
LS EPC current (code 15) 870 - 930 mA 0 - 10 mA
LS EPC output pressure 30 kg/cm2 0
6) Measure the TVC valve output pressure (Servo Input Pressure), as outlined in the Testing and Adjusting section of the Shop
Manual. Verify that you have 2/5 of main pressure at the servo input with the Arm in over relief, Swing Lock “ON”, and
Power Max “ON.” (This test verifies that the LS circuit, LS Valve, and the TVC Valve are working properly.)

7) Measure and adjust the LS Differential Pressure using the tracks as outlined in the Shop Manual. Raise one side of the
machine, (HO mode, HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised track Half - Lever Stroke (easily
held steady at a chosen value such as 85 kg/cm2 of Main Pressure). At this point the Main pressure should be 80 - 100
kg/cm2. Adjust the LS Diffe rential pressure to within standard values. Repeat this procedure for the opposite track and pump.
8) TVC Valve adjustment: Measure the TVC valve adjustment using engine RPM. The engine RPM at 2-pump relief and
power max is the best judge of how well the TVC’s are loading the engine (Step A below). If the 2-pump/power max relief
RPM is not within specifications, use the following procedure to adjust them.

NOTE: The Pump Merge/Divide valve is not actuated with the Swing Accel (Priority) switch, so you cannot divide the
pumps with this switch to set the TVC valves individually.
To set the TVC valves individually, check the RPM drop of each by doing Steps B & C above. Adjust each pump to within 20
rpm of each other, and to give you a 2 pump rpm within the Standard Value.
Alternate Procedure:
A) Switch the connector (CN-VO5) for the Boom High/Low solenoid with the connector (CN-VO3) for the pump
Merge/Divide solenoid. Then you can turn the Boom High/Low switch “ON” to activate the merge/divide valve, and
divide the pumps.
B) Rear Pump: With the pumps divided, Hold the Arm IN over relief and measure the engine rpm.
C) Front Pump: With the pumps divided, Hold the Boom UP over relief and measure the engine rpm.
EXAMPLE: PC 300LC-6, RPM at 2-pump power max relief 1850. Spec is 1690 - 1790.
8A) Rear pump rpm drop 1870, adjust rear pump TVC to 1830.
8B) Front pump rpm drop 1880, adjust front pump TVC to 1830.
RECHECK 2 PUMP / POWER MAX RELIEF, after adjustment it is 1730 (within spec.)
9) Recheck all cycle times, and comp are with those recorded in step 1.

WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Set the high pressure setting (345-370) with the track FIRST, then set the
low pressure setting (315-335) second. Use the Left track to set the Left Relief valve, and the Right Track to set the right relief
valve.
To set the low pressure setting disconnect the 2 Stage Relief Solenoid valve (connector V05), then use the track to measure the
low pressure setting. Using this procedure set the relief valve 10 kg/cm2 higher than you want it to be. Example: If you want the
arm, boom, & bucket pressure to be 325 kg/cm2. Set low-pressure setting of the relief valve using the track with the 2-stage relief
solenoid disconnected to 335 kg/cm2.
5) LS EPC output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the LS EPC solenoid valve. Attach a
60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 15 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to the solenoid
while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of the valve at
neutral and while moving a work equipment lever. The pressure and current should be within the standard values below.
Item Actual value All levers in neutral Any work eq. lever moved
LS EPC current (code 15) * 870 - 930 mA 0 - 10 mA

Adjust LS Valve on each pump separately to achieve NO MORE than ½second difference in Mi TVL cycle time. Each FLAT
will change cycle approximately 2 seconds (5 turns, running start).
LS Differential - PRESSURE Method: Consult LAST PAGE
8) PC EPC output pressure: Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to the outlet hose from the PC EPC solenoid valve. Attach
a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Bring up monitoring code 13 on the monitor panel to view the current flowing to the
solenoid while testing. Start the engine, H/O mode, High Idle, Auto Decel “OFF”, arm over relief, Power Max, and measure
the oil pressure at the outlet of the valve at this time. The pressure and current should be within the standard values below.
Item Actual value Std value PC200LC-6 Std value PC220-270LC-6

PC EPC output pressure 5-10 kg/cm2 5-10 kg/cm2
* Connector corrosion (even slight) can lower current readout even though function is normal.
9) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. Test rpm with the Arm over relief Power Max “ON”. If not within the
standard value range, adjust the PC valve on each pump to give you the correct rpm over relief using the stalled track
(ensures both high relief pressure and divided pumps when travel operated WITHOUT any other function). Use the Travel
over relief to inform you if the PC valve for each pump is adjusted within 20 rpm of the other.

• Note: Adjust the PC valves to the midpoint of this range. If you adjust to the low end of the range the machine will not go
much faster, but will use a lot more fuel. PC Valves can “hide” a sick engine! Always ensure the engine care and health is
verified prior to making hydraulic system adjustments. Divided pump target RPM’s will need to be about 50 – 100 higher
than the merged, 2 pump values.
10) Recheck all cycle times, and note in the table under #2 the new measurements.
The Self-Pressure Reducing Valve is located on the rear of the main control valve. The outlet hose for the front pump attaches to
this valve. To access the Control Pressure Relief valve remove the partition between the engine and the main control valve. As
you can see below, the relief valve is located on the bottom of the Self-Pressure Reducing valve.
LS Differential - PRESSURE Method: Measure and adjust the LS Differential Pressure using the tracks as outlined in the Shop
Manual. Raise one side of the machine, (HO mode, HI travel speed, Full Throttle) and move the travel lever of the raised
track Partial - Lever Stroke (easily held steady at a chosen value such as 85 kg/cm2 of Main Pressure). At this point the
Main pressure should be 80 - 100 kg/cm2. Adjust the LS Differential pressure to within standard values. Repeat this
procedure for the opposite track and pump.
Measurement conditions Actual Value After Adjusting “CALCULATED”

H/O, Hi Idle, Hi Travel speed, Right Track 21 – 23

* LS Verification: Since track operation may cause erratic readings on the more sensitive digital DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE
GUAGES, another method of final verification is to use BOOM UP or ARM OUT functions to get a “final, steady LS
Differential” reading. Operate the chosen function at a steady speed roughly at 50-80% as long as main pressure (codes 11,
12) is kept steady for the most repeatable and reliable reading of MAIN – LS = LS Differential.
Always ensure that any known abnormalities are resolved and are normal before continuing with this procedure. See
the “Points to Remember when Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting Procedure” section in the Shop manual for
instructions. Follow this procedure in order from 1-9 because skipping one step will affect the measurements in the
following steps. Special note at Steps 4 & 6 to DIVIDE PUMPS!! Please read and understand.
1) Warm the machine up to operating temperature, and record all of the following Engine Speeds. Compare these with the
specified values. Adjust the engine speed if necessary. See page 20-18 in the Testing and Adjusting section of the Shop

4) Measure the Main Relief and Unload valve pressures using a 400 kg/cm2 gauge connected to the test ports on top of the
main pump assembly. Compare with the standard values listed below, and adjust if necessary. Dividing PUMPS is
recommended if possible, using divider drain hose connected to a pilot oil source temporarily only!! (See also Step 6
note***)
WHEN SETTING THE RELIEF PRESSURE: Set the pressure setting (315-335) with the track while pumps are “Divided”
see step above and at Step 6! Use the Left track to set the Left Relief valve, and the Right Track to set the right relief valve.
Note: Travel is only ONE SPEED and only at LOW Relief pressures (CMO”Z”).
5) Measure the (Servo Input Pressure), and compare with the main pressure at the same time. (This test verifies that the LS

6) Measure the LS Differential pressure using the tracks and with the pump flow manually divided(***). Adjust if the
Difference between the Load Sense pressure and the Main pressure is outside the standard value while rotating the raised
track in Hi travel speed at half stroke. Attempt to “hold” a steady main pressure such as 85 to 100 kg/cm2.
( Main – LS ) Kg / CM2
Measurement conditions Actual Value Standard Value
Hi Idle, Neutral, Front Pump 20 - 40
Hi Idle, Left Track rotating at half stroke, Front Pump 21 - 23
Hi Idle, Neutral, Rear Pump 20 - 40
Hi Idle, Right Track rotating at half stroke, Rear Pump 21 - 23
6…(***) To manually divide the pump flow, disconnect the merge divide valve supply/drain line from the main oil drain for
the solenoid block located on the bottom of the solenoid block under the main control valve. The lines can be connected with
regular (600 kg/cm2) quick couplings, if desired. Then connect the merge divide valve supply/drain line to the output line of the
swing lock solenoid. This is located on the front of the solenoid block and can also accomplished with quick couplings. The next
step is to energize the swing lock solenoid, this means moving the swing lock switch to the OFF position. Return Divider signal
line to DRAIN for NORMAL operations (ALLWAYS MERGED).
7) PC EPC current and output pressure: Measure the current between pins 7 & 13 of connector C01 using the harness checker
or DMM. The current to the PC-EPC should be within the standard values below. Connect the adapter P/N 790-261-1311 to
the outlet hose from the PC EPC solenoid valve. Attach a 60kg/cm2 gauge to the adapter. Start the engine, High Idle, arm
over relief and measure the oil pressure at the outlet of the valve at this time. The pressure should be within the standard
values below.
8) PC Valve adjustment: The PC valve functions similar to the previous TVC valve. You can use engine rpm over relief to
determine if the PC valves are adjusted correctly. If the rpm with the Arm over relief is not within the standard value range,
adjust the PC valve on each pump (DIVIDED!) to give you the correct rpm. Use the Travel over relief to inform you if the
PC valve for each pump is adjusted within 20 rpm of the other.
9) Recheck all cycle times, and note in the table under #2 the new measurements.
The Self-Pressure Reducing Valve is located on the rear of the main control valve. The outlet hose for the front pump attaches to
this valve. To access the Control Pressure Relief valve remove the partition between the engine and the main control valve. As
you can see below, the relief valve is located on the bottom of the Self-Pressure Reducing valve.
