Hoist Counterbalance Valve Adjustment
Preparation:
Note: The ports and valves referred to in the
following procedures
counterbalance manifold valve body.
1. With the engine shut down, the body resting on
the frame, the hoist valve in the FLOAT position
and hydraulic system pressure bled down,
loosen locknut on adjustment stem of needle
valve (9, Figure 10-9) on counterbalance mani-
fold (2). Turn adjustment stem fully clockwise.
2. Remove fitting from "PILOT VENT" port (8) on
counterbalance manifold. This port will remain
open to atmosphere during adjustment; do not
allow dirt to enter open port.
Note: It is suggested a clean SAE #4 (1/4") hydraulic
hose is installed in the open port and the hose
pointed downward.
3. Install a 5000 psi (35,000 kPa) gauge at test port
"TR" (7) on counterbalance manifold. (Gauge
will measure rod end pressure; the pressure
controlled by the counterbalance valve.)

Hydraulic Check-out Procedure
Counterbalance Valve Pressure Check Only:
1. Start the engine. At low idle, raise the body and
as it extends to the third stage, read the pres-
sure on the gauge connected to the "TR" port.
(All counterbalance valve pressures are read/
adjusted while hoist cylinders are in third
stage.)
a. If pressure is 3000 psi (20.7 MPa) or above,
stop hoisting immediately.
Pressure is adjusted too high and must be
lowered. Go to "Counterbalance Valve
Adjustment" and perform adjustment proce-
dure.
b. If pressure is below 3000 psi (20.7 MPa),
increase engine speed by approximately 300
rpm and observe pressure on gauge.
