IMPORTANT PRECAUTION TO OBSERVE BEFORE
OPERATING NEW OR REBUILT HYDRAULIC PUMPS
AND MOTORS
To avoid possible damage to a new or rebuilt hydraulic
pump or motor, back off the main relief valve adjusting
screw (or remove adjusting shims or spacers) before
operating unit. Then, AFTER UNIT HAS RUN-IN FOR
ABOUT 5 MINUTES AT ZERO PRESSURE (with all
control levers in neutral position) adjust relief valve
pressure to proper and prescribed setting. Failure to
observe this precaution can result in almost immediate
failure of the hydraulic unit-if the relief valve pressure
setting should be excessive.
