pressure relief valve.
Failure to do so may
result in serious
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Relief Valve Adjustment Procedure:
1. Position a 9/16" wrench onto the hex nut retaining
the Allen screw. Insert a 3/16" Allen wrench into the
Allen screw. Secure the Allen screw and loosen the
hex nut. Do not remove nut or Allen screw.
2. Place load on platform (equal to weight not lifting).
3. Hold the hex nut and turn the Allen screw clockwise
until pump lifts the load. Turn the Allen screw in an
additional 3/4 turn, then unscrew it 1/4 turn. This
action ensures that relief valve protection has not
been adjusted out of the system.
4. Secure the Allen head screw and tighten the hex nut
retainer (locking nut) securely.
