Section VI 

 Overhaul 

CAUTION

Before breaking any circuit connections, be certain
the electrical power is off and all branches of the
circuit are relieved of trapped pressure. Lower all
vertical cylinders. Discharge or isolate accumula-
tors. Block any load whose movement could cause
injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.

A. Disassembly 13.

If a valve fails to function properly, the trouble can often be
corrected without removing the valve from the installation.
This can be accomplished in the following manner.

1. Back off the adjusting screw full length to relieve all

compression on the spring.

2. Remove top cover screws, cover and spring.

3. Check the valve spool for binding or excessive

clearance in the body bore. Be sure the pilot pistons remains
in the bottom cover during the process.

4. If the spool checks out satisfactorily, remove the bottom

cover. Check the pilot piston for burrs or excessive clearance
in the cover bore.

5. Check the bottom cover for clogged control passages.

See Trouble Shooting Table 3.

For complete disassembly (See Figure 4), remove the valve
from the installation. Dismantle in the same order as the key
index numbers assigned to the exploded view.

B. Reassembly 14.

Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. Follow key
index numbers in Figure 4 in reverse order.

NOTE

In reassembling the valves, the position of the drain
passage in the top cover in relation to the drain
passage in the body, and the position of the control
fluid passage in the bottom cover in relation to the
body passage, determines the type or function of
the valve. See Figure 1 for cover positions.
