Hydraulic stuff

--- Quote from: "madmatt" ---You really should be able to get to the PRV without taking the whole block out, unless they have been really numptys installing it. Please be very careful if your planning on adjusting the PRV get a profesional to do it, they should plumb a flow meter into the system which means they can work out what the PRV blows at now and set it to a new setting recommended by Ramsey.

The firm that fitted the system advise cranking the PRV up to 176bar, which should allow the winch to pull a max of 3600kgs......they suggest adjusting the PRV and then pulling a known weight (3600kgs) to make sure the adjustment works :shock:

Umm thats interesting, I personally wouldn't like to do it that way or advise anyone to do it that way, Hydraulics can be extremely dangerous if set up inaccurately. If you are do go for that method I'd advise you do a visual check of all your hoses and fittings just to make sure nothing has chaffed through the rubber and started on the steel braiding etc, and when adjusting the relief valve do it in very small increments as said earlier an 1/8th of a turn can be an awfull lot!
Good Luck!
