Guys -
I have a 2005 Volvo EC160BLC and I've just installed a Rockland thumb. When I purchased the machine (used) it already had the optional hydraulics to the end of the stick as the previous owner primarily used the machine with a grading (4 way) bucket. I want to make sure the pressure relief valve for the optional hydraulic circuit is set less than the bucket curl circuit to avoid damaging either piston.....but even with the manual I am having a heck of a time figuring out where the relief valve(s) is....or if there even is a traditional relief valve that I can adjust. Are there any guys out there who are good with Volvos that may be able to help me figure this one out? It gets very confusing as the manual dives into shear/hammer operational circuits and a bunch of other stuff. I am assuming I want to operate the optional circuit in the shear mode (based on the toggle switch in the cab) as opposed to the hammer mode.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
