This valve is a precision device and is not intended for extensive field adjustment or repair. Field replacement parts are limited to seal kits, cartridges and tie rod ends. Beyond replacement of these parts, opening of check cavities and certain relief valve cavities to examine for trapped dirt, or resetting main relief valve with the use of a good pressure gauge, valve should be returned for service.

Dirt and shreds of packing material are the usual causes of valve malfunction. Be sure that oil supply is kept clean. Use only factory supplied packings in cylinder repair. Fittings and hoses must be clean before being removed.

NOTE: Pay close attention to all caution warning notes so valve will not have to be returned to manufacturer for reconditioning.

Troubleshooting guide is designed to help qualified individuals, with valve service training, correct minor problems which may develop. If valve is under warranty do not attempt disassembly for repairs. Contact your authorized dealer. Any attempt to disassemble valve during warranty period will VOID warranty.
