2.5 Function of relief valve
The relief valve prevents the damage of the lubricating
system due to high oil pressure.
(1) Spring
(2) Poppet
(3) Gasket
(4) Plug
The valve is closed when the spring tension is greater
than the oil pressure at the inlet. The spring tension
holds poppet (2) securely in position. The valve opens
when the oil pressure at the inlet exceeds that of the
spring (1). This pushes the poppet off the inlet hole and
oil flows through the valve.
2.6 Function of oil pressure switch
The oil pressure switch activates the oil warning light
when the oil pressure falls below specified value.
(1) Terminal
(2) Insulator
(3) Spring
(4) Diaphragm
(5) Contact rivet
(6) Contact
(7) Oil switch body
[A] At proper oil pressure
[B] At lower oil pressure
The oil pressure switch is mounted on the cylinder
block and is led to the lubricating oil passage. When
the oil pressure falls below the specified value, the oil
pressure-warning lamp lights.
[A] At the proper oil pressure
When the engine is started and as the proper oil
pressure builds, the diaphragm (4) is pushed up. This
separates the contact rivet (5) and breaks the circuit,
causing the lamp to go out.
[B] At lower oil pressure
If the oil pressure drops, the resulting deflection of the
diaphragm (4) will close the contact rivet (5) and again
complete the circuit. The lighted lamp warns that the
pressure of the lubricating system has dropped below
the pressure setting.
