The purpose of the system relief valve is to limit the maximum hydraulic system pressure. Power boost is a temporary
increase of the system pressure. The valve is checked and adjusted to protect components from damage caused by
excessive pressures.
1. NOTE:
Test can also be done using monitor controller and display diagnostic system. See Monitor
Display Diagnostic System Operation . (Group 9015-15.) Only one reading at a time can be
displayed with monitor display.
Connect laptop computer to diagnostic port. See Service ADVISOR System Computer Connection . (T133991.)

For Excavator Diagnostics program select the following items from the Monitor Data Items menu:
3. Heat hydraulic oil to specification. See Hydraulic System Warm-Up Procedure . (Go to procedure in this group.)
5. Actuate arm out function over relief. Record system relief pressure reading.
6. Actuate arm out function over relief while pushing power boost switch. Record power boost pressure reading.
7. NOTE:
If pressure setting cannot be raised by adjusting system relief and power boost valve, arm out
circuit relief valve setting may be low. See Circuit Relief Valve Test and Adjustment before
continuing. (Group 9025-25.)
