Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment
IMPORTANT: This adjustment is extremely
sensitive. Slowly turn the adjustment screw
one eighth of a turn at time and recheck the
pressure.
1. Enter the recorded test results from PSI
“B”_____
2. Rotate the needle valve counter-clockwise to
the completely open position._____
3. Remove the hex bolt covering the pressure
relief valve using a 5/8” wrench.
4. Inspect the “O” ring on the hex bolt for damage
or wear._____
5. Mark the orientation of the adjustment screw
on the outer housing using a flashlight and a
sharp object.
6. Depending on the log splitter pressure, turn the
adjustment screw clockwise or counterclock-
wise 1/8 of a turn using a flat-blade screw
driver. See Figure 6-88.
NOTE
Turning the adjustment screw clockwise
increases the pressure. Turning the adjust-
ment screw counter-clockwise decreases the
pressure.
7. Start the engine and move the throttle (if
equipped) to fast._____
NOTE
Most log splitters do not have a throttle control,
they are set to run fast all the time.
8. Move the control valve handle to the forward
position until the wedge assembly is at the end
of its travel._____
9. Hold the control valve handle in the forward
position and begin to close the needle valve.
