When the hydraulic cylinders used in the RJ-88SC, RJ-100SC, RJ-250SC, and RJ-
250VL are fully extended or retracted, they bypass internally. This makes it impossi-
ble for the hydraulic system to reach relief pressure. Follow the recommendations
below for proper pressure setting.
Disconnect and lock out power using the procedure on page 2-1.
Using the quick disconnects, disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the compactor.
Remove the 1/4” plug from the check valve and install a 0-3000 psi pressure gauge.
Loosen the lock nut on the relief valve and turn the adjustment screw several turns
counter clockwise.
Remove the lock out provisions and turn the disconnect to the ON position. Start the
power unit using the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS on page 1-5 or 1-6.
With the hoses disconnected, the power unit will build pressure. Adjust the relief
pressure up by turning the relief adjustment screw clockwise. Adjust the relief valve
to the desired pressure setting and tighten the lock nut. See chart below.
Press the EMERGENCY STOP button to stop the power unit, and relieve the stored
hydraulic energy as described on page 2-1.
Disconnect and lock out power as described in Step 1.
Remove the pressure gauge and replace the 1/4” plug in the check valve.
Reconnect the hydraulic hoses, and remove the lock out provisions.
