DANGER 

 

BEFORE STARTING PUMP, BE SURE ALL DRIVE 
EQUIPMENT GUARDS ARE IN PLACE. 
 
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MOUNT GUARDS MAY 
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

 

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT 

 

If a new spring is installed or if pressure setting of pressure 
relief valve is to be changed from that which the factory has 
set, the following instructions must be carefully followed. 

 

1. 

Carefully remove valve cap, which covers adjusting 
screw. 

 

Loosen locknut, which locks adjusting screw so 
pressure setting will not change during operation of 
pump. 

 

2. 

Install a pressure gauge in discharge line for actual 
adjustment operation. 

 

3. 

Turn adjusting screw in to increase pressure and out to 
decrease pressure. 

 

4. 

With discharge line closed at a point beyond pressure 
gauge, gauge will show maximum pressure valve will 
allow while pump is in operation. 

 

IMPORTANT 

 

In ordering parts for pressure relief valve, always give model 
number and serial number of pump as it appears on 
nameplate and name of part wanted.  When ordering 
springs, be sure to give pressure setting desired.
