8.1 Machine lowers on its own
Adjust the lowering valve by following this
procedure
Loosen the M8 grub screw.
Leave the lowering pedal in its normal
position.
Using a screwdriver slightly adjust the
valve spindle:
•
Anticlockwise, to raise the lowering
speed.
•
Clockwise, to reduce the lowering
speed and to ensure that the pump
holds the load in position.
Lightly tighten the grub screw after every
adjustment.
When adjustment is correct fully tighten
the grub screw.

imum height
Check oil level (see 7.4)

8.5 Breakdown / Maintenance of the
valves
The valves used normally require no mainte-

positions 1-4 in the "fault finding".
Should it be found that the positions 1-4 in
"fault finding" produce no cure return the
pump for repair.
