Assembling the Relief Valve Assemblies
Relief valve assembly (27, Fig. 9– 54) is oriented toward 
the rear of the vehicle and is preset at 3750± 50 psi (258 
± 3,5 bar). Relief valve assembly (28) is oriented toward 
the front of the vehicle and is preset at 3200± 50 psi (220 
± 3,5 bar).
For each relief valve assembly (27 and 28, Fig. 9– 54):
1. Install a new O-ring (29, Fig. 9– 54) and the spring
2. Install a new back-up ring (32), new O-ring (31),
another new back-up ring (32), spring (33), and the 
piston (52) into the housing (51).
3. Install the relief valve poppet (53), new O-ring (30),
and new back-up ring (35).
4. Install a new back-up ring (35), new O-ring (30), and
the relief valve poppet (53) into the housing (51), then 
install the check valve poppet (54) into the housing 
(51).
5. Place the pilot poppet (50) and spring (36) into the
housing (51), then add a new O-ring (29) and secure 
with the plug (49).
6. Install jam nut (48), back-up rings (47), poppet (46),

g. Main Control Valve Installation
1. Place the main control valve into position on the valve
plate assembly.
2. Align gaskets, bolt holes, etc. with component mount
holes. Secure the main control valve with the 
necessary fasteners. Torque fasteners to 
specification. Refer to the torque specification chart 
in Section 2 General Information, Specifications and 
Maintenance Instructions.
3. Prime the main control valve by filling the inlet
openings with fresh, filtered hydraulic oil before 
attaching the hoses.
4. Use new O-rings as required. Reattach and secure
all hoses, clamps, etc.
5. Check the routing of all hoses, wiring and tubing for
sharp bends or interference with any rotating 
members, and install tie wraps and/or protective 
conduit as required. Tighten all tube and hose 
clamps.
6. Start the engine and run at approximately one-third
to one-half throttle for about one minute without 
moving the vehicle or operating any hydraulic 
functions.
7. Inspect for leaks and check the level of the hydraulic
fluid in the reservoir. Shut the engine OFF.
Note: Check for leaks and repair as required before con-
tinuing. Add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir as needed.
8. Conduct a pressure check of the hydraulic system in
its entirety. Adjust pressure(s) as required.
9. Wipe up any hydraulic fluid spillage in, on, near and
around the vehicle, work area and tools.
WARNING: Avoid prolonged engine operation 
in closed areas with inadequate ventilation. 
Failure to properly ventilate exhaust fumes can 
result in death or severe personal injury.
