A defective valve that is not caused by a malfunctioning solenoid coil must be removed and replaced with a new one.
Repairs to a defective valve may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
When replacing the defective valve with a new one, proceed as follows:
› Ensure that no explosive atmosphere is present during the repair period. (see also 7.5).
› Switch off the pressure source (pump) of the hydraulic circuit (see also 7.5).
› Relieve the hydraulic circuit including the accumulators by connecting it to the tank (see also 7.5).
› Ensure that the hydraulic circuit is pressure-free (see also 7.5).
› Switch off the electrical supply to the directional control valve solenoids (see also 7.5).
› Ensure that the surface of the valve and solenoid coils is cooled to a low enough temperature to prevent skin burns (see also 7.5).
› Clean the surface and area around the valve.
› Remove the coil surface ground wire by loosening the M5x10 ground screw.
› Disconnect the electrical supply cable to the coils (see 7.6.3).
› Loosen the coil nut with a wrench (a = 36) and unscrew it.
› Remove the sealing ring and spool from the valve control system.
› Loosen the valve with a wrench (a = 24) and carefully unscrew it.
› Allow the remaining working fluid from the valve to drain into the smaller container provided.
› When installing the new replacement valve, follow the procedure in section 7.2 Product installation
Remove residual working fluid from the dismantled defective valveand package it to prevent mechanical damage and contamination of the area
outside the package during transport. Send the packaged valve with a description of the manifestation of the defect to the manufacturer. A new
valve is warranted by the manufacturer for 1 year. However, a claim may not be accepted by the manufacturer if the valve is mechanically damaged,
the seal material is damaged by aggressive liquid, or the valve has been shown to have been used improperly and not in accordance with these
instruction of use.
A suitably qualified user is authorised to replace the complete valve, the seals on the valve body, which are supplied as a kit.
They can also replace a malfunctioning solenoid coil.
7.6 Repairs carried out by specialist
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Spilled working fluid must be removed immediately, e.g. with suitable absorbents, contaminated parts of the perimeter cleaned,
contaminated objects in the vicinity cleaned or disposed of. Kontaminated objects and residues of leaked working fluid must be
disposed of in accordance with the applicable environmental regulations.
FIRST AID
Electric shock
› Switch off the power supply immediately
› Make sure the casualty is breathing.
› Call emergency medical services
› If the casualty is not breathing, initiate measures to restore basic life functions according to first aid abilities (CPR, artificial
respiration) and equip the workplace (defibrillator) with life-saving equipment.
Contamination by hydraulic working fluid
If contamination of persons occurs, contaminated parts of clothing must be removed immediately and the skin thoroughly washed
with soap or treated with a suitable cream. If the eyes are contaminated, flush them with clean water and seek medical attention.
Seek medical attention also in case of accidental ingestion of working fluid or skin allergic reaction to splashes of working fluid.
A sealing ring in the recess behind the thread ensures the valve is sealed in the block and prevents working fluid from leaking out of the block.
Sealing rings on the steel valve housing separate the individual channels in the port from each other. If the ring is not fitted or is damaged, unwanted
interconnection of the channels and unreliable control function of the valve will occur. In this case, the valve must be removed from the port and the
sealing rings replaced with new ones.
› Ensure that no explosive atmosphere is present during the repair (see also 7.5).
› Switch off the pressure source (pump) of the hydraulic circuit (see also 7.5).
› Relieve the hydraulic circuit including the accumulators by connecting it to the tank (see also 7.5)
› Ensure that the hydraulic circuit is de-pressurized (see also 7.5).
› Switch off the electrical supply to the valve solenoids (viz také 7.5).
› Ensure that the surface of the valve and solenoid coils is cooled to a low enough temperature to prevent skin burns (see also 7.5)
› Clean the surface and around valve.
› Loosen the coil nut with a wrench (a = 36) and unscrew it.
› Remove the sealing ring and spool from the valve control system.
› Loosen the valve with a wrench (a = 24) and carefully unscrew it.
› Allow the remaining working fluid from the valve to drain into the prepared smaller container. Dry the valve surface with a cleaning cloth.
› Using a suitable tool, e.g. a small screwdriver, remove any sealing rings. Work carefully, do not damage the valve housing and threads.
Check the valve for damage and cleanliness.
› Use a replacement seal kit. Thread the sealing rings into the recesses one by one in the correct place. Do not confuse the seals! Lubricate the new
seals with grease or working fluid.
› Check the chamber in the block for damage and cleanliness.
› When installing the new replacement valve into the block, follow section 7.2 Product installation.
› After reassembling the solenoid to the valve control system, check that the solenoid cable in the grommet and the ground wire are properly
secured to ensure that they have not come loose during manipulation of the solenoid.
› After the repair, verify that the new seals are tight and the valve is functioning properly.
