plumb into a circuit. As mentioned earlier, it is up to the
end user to provide the wiring and controls for the valve
when ordered this way.
It is also possible to modify an existing valve to install
options after the initial purchase. In order to do this, the
correct bolt kit will be required. To determine which bolt kit
is correct for your valve, refer to Figure 2. These kits
replace the current bolts, which will be too short after the
addition of accessory valves.

6.0 OPERATION
All system components need to be rated for the maximum
pressure of the system, including hoses, fittings and
support equipment. The “VE” Valve Series are rated for
10,000 psi operating pressure.
NOTE: For all two-position, two-way valves, the tank
port MUST be plumbed when used as a dump or
unloading valve. This will allow residual pressure inside
the valve to vent back to tank.
7.0 INSTALLATION
1. If the valve is used in a remote application, connect all
pressure, tank and cylinder hoses to their prospective
ports, refer to Figure 2. Use proper thread sealant and
do not over tighten the pipe fittings.
2. Connect proper electrical controls using the supplied
VEP plugs. Make sure to supply correct voltage to
solenoid, based on information printed on the coil.
3. Three-position valves are spring biased to the center
position and will shift when power is supplied to the
coils.
4. To operate valve in the event of loss of electrical power,
a manual override is provided. Using a small diameter
punch, depress solenoid pin located in the center of
the solenoid core. See Figure 3.

8.0 MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check all hydraulic connections to be sure
they are tight. Loose or leaking connections may cause
erratic and/or total loss of pressure. Replace or repair
all defective parts immediately.
2. Periodically check the hydraulic oil level in your system.
Refer to oil filling instructions for your pump for
complete information.
3. Change hydraulic oil approximately every 250-300
hours of operation. In dusty or dirty areas, it may be
necessary to change oil more frequently.
