If the margin pressure is not correct, stop the engine. Loosen set screw (3). Use an allen wrench and adjust the pressure adjustment screw (4) .
To increase the margin pressure, turn the pressure adjustment screw clockwise. Pressure difference is approximately 1700 kPa (247 psi) per turn.
To decrease the margin pressure, turn the pressure adjustment screw outward.Note: Do not turn the adjustment screw (4) past the compensator body.
Recheck the margin pressure by repeating the test.
Once adjustments are complete, hold the position of the adjustment screw (4) and tighten set screw (3) to 7.5 N m to 10.8 N m (5 lb ft to 8 lb ft).Note: Do not overtighten the set screw.High Pressure Cutoff Adjustment
