Close-up view of the steering valve group
(1) Steering Valve Group
(2) Back Up Relief Valve
Remove back up relief valve (2) from steering valve group (1). The steering cylinder work port relief valve and makeup valves are located in the steering control valve. The steering cylinder work port relief and makeup valves need to be bench tested.
Secure test manifold block (H) in a suitable holding device.
Install two adapters (J) and two quick connect couplers (K) in test manifold block (H).
Attach two quick connect couplers (L) to two hose assemblies (M).

(bb) Port for the pressure line from electric hydraulic pump group (F)
Install steering work port valve (2) into test manifold block (H).
Install oil return line to port (aa).
Install the pressure oil line from electric hydraulic pump group (F) to port (bb).Note: Ensure that the hose assemblies are connected to the proper test port. If the lines are not connected correctly, the relief valve setting will be incorrect.
Turn electric hydraulic pump group (F) into the ON position. Check for leaks at any of the connections.
The 3S-6224 Electric Hydraulic Pump only has a 7.6 L (2 US gal) reservoir. Pump damage may result if the pump is operated with an empty reservoir.
Slowly increase the pressure. Record the pressure when the steering work port relief valve opens.
Shut off electric hydraulic pump group (F).The pressure of the steering work port relief valve should be 27600 700 kPa (4003 101.5 psi) at a flow of 21 2 L/min (5.5 0.5 US gpm). If the pressure setting is within the specified pressure range, install the relief valve back into control manifold (1).Steering Relief Valve - Adjust

(2A) Locknut
(2B) Adjustment screw
Loosen the locknut (2). Turn adjusting screw (1) clockwise to increase the pressure. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.When the correct pressure is reached, install the relief valve (2) with a new O-ring. The proper installation torque is 50 7 N m (37 5 lb ft).
