There is an adjustable pressure relief valve under the hex cap beside
the control handle shaft. Put a *hydraulic pressure rated* tee and a
glycerin-filled 5000Lb pressure gauge at the pump outlet so you can
see what you're doing as you adjust it. The lowest pressure that moves
the load should give you the most control. I don't know the max safe
setting on your system.
