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

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
