Hey guys, I'm trying to add a couple shins to bring my psi back into check on my b7500. It's reading 2100-2200 psi at the loader, looking to bring it up to 2350-2400 psi. I can't seem to find the "22mm pressure relief valve" on this thing. Does anyone have any pointers or pictures of there this is? Thanks guys.

I suspect that 1 turn would be a LOT! I suggest that you try 1/4 turn and read the pressure again to see where you are.

Start small, if you have a pressure gauge it will be easy to retest and ensure you don't go too high.

I would start with half turn and see where you're at. I have cranked all of my machines (and friends) up beyond the "rated" factory pressure and there have been no issues except for leaking packing on old cylinders. Once they're rebuilt, they're good to go at the higher pressure.

You will need to worry about good counter weight if you run your PSI up too high. The hoses and cylinders are usually rated far beyond what your machine can generate for psi.
