I quasi-successfully connected my hydraulic remote system for my snowblower, but ran into a problem with the valve. Everything works, but when the chute rotation cylinder is actuated, the valve screeches - like fingernails on a blackboard. The valve moves the flapper cylinder (virtually no load) silently, but the squeal is emitted once the stops are reached. This leads me to believe that it has something to do with the relief valve. I am guessing that the relief is set very low - there is a big nut sticking out next to the valve spools that I can guess is the relief control, but I don't know how to adjust it. Can someone full me in on relief adjustment procedures? I don't know what could cause sonic-frequency oscillation/vibration - can air cause that? Any thoughts?
