Procedure to Adjust the Pressure
The new pump's pressure compensator has a pressure control valve that is adjusted with a screw. The pressure control valve for the former steering pump required shimming in order to make pressure adjustments. The compensator that is used in the new pump is designed for use in a load sensing hydraulic system. The steering system on the truck is constant flow with high pressure cutoff control. The compensator on the new pump must be adjusted in order to prevent the load sensing region of the valve from operating. If the load sensing spool in the valve is not adjusted correctly, the steering system may experience sluggish operation. Use the following procedure to adjust the pressure setting of the new pump.

Remove the cover and loosen the locknut on adjustment screw (A) .
Turn adjustment screw (A) clockwise until the screw stops. The load sensing spool will be blocked from movement.
Tighten the locknut to a torque of 21 N m (15 lb ft).
Install the cover and tighten to a torque of 21 N m (15 lb ft).
Remove the cover and loosen the locknut on adjustment screw (B) .
Turn adjustment screw (B) in order to achieve the maximum pressure setting. The maximum pressure setting is 17580 345 kPa (2550 50 psi).
Tighten the locknut to a torque of 21 N m (15 lb ft).
Install the cover and tighten to a torque of 21 N m (15 lb ft).
