OIL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER
This is fitted on the crankcase, and is connected to the pilot light on the control panel by electric cables; its purpose
is to signal insufficient pressure in the lubrication circuit.
When the light on the control panel comes ON (with the engine running), this indicates that the pressure has fallen
below the set limits; it is necessary to stop the vehicle immediately and check the cause of the pressure drop.
CHECK OIL PRESSURE TRANSMITTER
(Fig. 11-85)
To check the efficiency of the transmitter, mounted it
on the special tool equipped with a pressure gauge;
connect the positive lead (+) of the tester to the
transmitter and the negative lead (–) to earth, then
blow compressed air through the coupling of the
above tool, making sure that the indicator on the
tester moves when the pressure (looking at the
gauge) reaches 0.15÷0.35 kg/sq.cm.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT VALVE (Fig. 11-86 / 11-87 / 11-88)
Check the oil pressure valve calibration.
The oil pressure adjustment valve «A» is screwed to the oil sump. It must be calibrated to allow a pressure in the
delivery circuit of 5 kg/sq.cm.
To test the calibration, it is necessary to fit the valve on the appropriate tool with a gauge fitted; blow compressed
air through the tool coupling and make sure that the valve opens precisely at the set pressure.
If the valve opens at a lower pressure, place one or more «B» washers under the spring; if it opens at a higher
pressure, reduce the number of «B» washers or increase the number of «C» washers as appropriate.
