Pressure taps for the proportional reducing valves (negative flow control) located in the pump compartment
(1) Pressure tap for "NFC2"
(2) Pressure tap for "NFC1"
Connect two 3447 kPa (500 psi) pressure sensors to the pressure taps for negative flow control. The proportional reducing valves for negative flow control of the drive pump and idler pump are located in the pump compartment. Calibration Procedure
Note: This procedure is typical for both proportional reducing valves for negative flow control.
Start the engine.
Place the hydraulic activation lever in the UNLOCK position.
Increase the hydraulic oil temperature to 55° 5°C (131° 9°F).
Enter the service mode. Input the password "9992".

Select "Main Pump Flow Limit" from the "Calibrations" menu.
Illustration 4 g02540097
Select "NFC (Press Gauge Method)" for the appropriate valve from the "Main Pump Flow Limit" menu.
Press the OK key in order to start the calibration. The engine RPM will automatically increase to the equivalence of engine speed dial 10.
Confirm the notes on the monitor display. Set up the test conditions in accordance with the instructions. Press the OK key.
Move the joystick for STICK OUT to the full out position and hold the joystick in this position. Note: If necessary, a BOOM RAISE function may be performed in place of STICK OUT.

Use the arrows to adjust the pressure until the pressure reading for the negative flow control valve is at 1500 50 kPa (218 7 psi). Press the OK key. Note: Use the arrows to scroll down to view the machine "Engine Speed", "Hydraulic Oil Temperature", "Pump #1 Outlet Pressure", and "Pump #2 Outlet Pressure".
Move the joystick for STICK OUT to the NEUTRAL position.
Confirm notes on the monitor display. Set up the test conditions in accordance with the instructions. Press the OK key.
Move the joystick for STICK OUT to the full out position and hold the joystick in this position. Note: If necessary, a BOOM RAISE function may be performed in place of STICK OUT.
Illustration 6 g02540267
Use the arrows to adjust the pressure until the pressure reading for the negative flow control valve is at 3000 50 kPa (435 7 psi). Press the OK key. Note: Use the arrows to scroll down to view the machine "Engine Speed", "Hydraulic Oil Temperature", "Pump #1 Outlet Pressure", and "Pump #2 Outlet Pressure".
Move the joystick for STICK OUT to the NEUTRAL position.
