Rework Procedure


 
1. Install machine software 4208629V51, contact Small Wheel Loader Product Support team for flash file.

Note: Refer to UENR6086, Testing and Adjusting, "Machine preparation for Testing and Adjusting".
 
2. Remove the caps on both valves to expose the valve adjustments. Refer to Image1.2.1.
Image1.2.1
 
3. Adjust the valves according to the result achieved in the test. The adjustment screw takes a 10mm allen wrench to adjust. Both left valve part number 522-6651 and right valve part number 522-7608 on the lift cylinders will need to be adjusted if a failing result is achieved. Both left and right valves should be adjusted by the same amount each time.

Note: The valves are sensitive, small adjustments can lead to large changes. To avoid many iterations, it is best to make small adjustments to start.

If Start Current 2 minus Start Current 1 less than 10 mA, the setting of both valves need to be increased.

Increase the valve setting by rotating the adjustment screw clockwise, starting with a small 1/8 of a turn or less adjustment.

Before re-running the calibration, verify that lower modulation feels acceptable.
If Start Current 2 minus Start Current 1 is greater than 20 mA, the setting of both valves need to be decreased.

Decrease the valve setting by rotating the adjustment screw counter-clockwise, starting with a small 1/8 of a turn or less adjustment.
 
4. Repeat the calibration process in E.T. If Start Current 2 minus Start Current 1 equals 10 to 20 mA, no further adjustment of the load check valves is needed. Repeat process until a passing result is achieved.
 
5. Install the latest version of machine software available in SIS web.
