three bolt holes with the main control valve holes.
2. Insert the two long capscrews (3) and the short
capscrew (4) through the valve and tighten into the 
weldnuts of the valve plate assembly. Torque all 
three capscrews to 13-23 lb-ft (17-31 Nm).
3. Use new oiled o-rings as required. Reattach and
secure all hoses, clamps, etc. to the main control 
valve (1).
4. Using the floor jack (5) raise the sub plate, w/valve
plate assembly (6), up into position.

WARNING:
Avoid prolonged engine
operation in closed areas with inadequate 
ventilation. Failure to properly ventilate exhaust 
fumes can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Hydraulic oil leaking under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause 
severe personal injury. DO NOT use your hand 
or any part of your body to check for hydraulic 
leaks. When checking for hydraulic leaks, wear 
safety glasses and gloves to help provide 
protection from spraying hydraulic oil. Use a 
piece of cardboard or paper to search for 
leaks.
