Priority Valve - Test and Adjust

SMCS - 4320-025-PX ; 4320-081-PX

Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system on this

machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury
can result if this pressure is not released before any service is done on
the hydraulic systems. In order to prevent possible injury, release the
hydraulic system pressure before working on any fitting, hose, or
hydraulic component.

Lower all attachments to the ground before service is started. If the

hydraulic system must be serviced, tested, or adjusted with the
attachment in the raised position, the attachments and lift cylinders
must be supported properly.

Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other
machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when
the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair
of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

The following test will verify whether the pressure of the power train oil that is delivered from the
priority valve is within the specified limits. This test will check the pressure when the priority valve
is in PRIORITY MODE (high pressure).

The priority valve pressure should be set with the following conditions: engine at LOW IDLE,
parking brake off and power train oil at operating temperature.

5. Attach tooling (A or B) to pressure tap (5) .

The priority valve will regulate the oil at high pressure in the following conditions:

{ Engine speed is less than 1300 rpm and the parking brake is off. (The priority valve will
remain at high pressure until the engine rpm reaches 1350 rpm.)

{ A transmission shift is in progress.

{ The power train oil temperature is less than 40 °C (104 °F). (The priority valve will
remain at high pressure until the power train oil temperature reaches 45 °C (113 °F).)

{ A transmission clutch fill calibration is in progress.

6. Start the engine. Warm the power train oil to a temperature of 84° ± 8°C (183° ± 14°F).

7. Operate the engine at LOW IDLE (700 rpm). Make sure that the steering control lever is in the
NEUTRAL position.

8. Disengage the parking brake.

9. Check the pressure at tooling (A or B). The pressure at tooling (A or B) should be 2585 ± 110
kPa (375 ± 15 psi) (high pressure).

Note: When the parking brake is engaged the pressure at tooling (A or B) will always be low
pressure.

ReferenceSee Specifications, Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Pressure Charts" in

this module for additional pressure values.

10. If the pressure at tooling (A or B) is not within the specified limits, perform the following
adjustment procedure.

1. Attach tooling (A or B) to pressure tap (5) .

2. Loosen locknut (8) .

3. Turn adjustment screw (7) clockwise in order to increase the pressure at tooling (A or B). Turn
adjustment screw (7) counterclockwise in order to decrease the pressure at tooling (A or B) .

4. Tighten locknut (8). Check the pressure again by using the steps in "Test Procedure".

5. If the pressure at tooling (A or B) is 2585 ± 110 kPa (375 ± 15 psi), the adjustment procedure
is complete.
