Changes in the engine's loadUse the following procedure to adjust the exhaust bypass valve.
Illustration 1 g00814530
(1) Plug (2) Locknut (3) Adjustment screw
Remove plug (1) and the seal. Loosen locknut (2) .
Turn adjustment screw (3) clockwise for approximately four turns in order to remove the function of the exhaust bypass valve. Be careful not to tighten the screw too far.
Adjust the engine's exhaust emissions according to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Air/Fuel Ratio Control - Adjust ".

After the desired exhaust emissions are obtained, slowly ramp up to 100 percent load or to the maximum available load.
Illustration 2 g01097923
Open position of the bypass valve in percent versus engine load in percent (X) Engine load in percent (Y) Open position of the bypass valve in percent (1) 100 percent of load equals an open position of 18 percent for the bypass valve.
Refer to Illustration 2. Determine the engine's load. Turn adjustment screw (3) in order for the position of the bypass valve to be correct for the engine's load. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise in order to decrease the open position of the bypass valve. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise in order to increase the open position of the bypass valve.
When the position is correct, tighten locknut (2) to the torque that is listed in the engine's Specifications.
Install the seal and plug (1) .
