MOUNTING, ADJUSTMENT & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

Mounting – Valve can be mounted in any orientation. Valve must be mounted on a flat surface. Special attention should
be paid to not bend or twist the casting when mounting. Doing so may cause the valve to fail.
 Relief Adjustment – Relief setting is factory preset to 1500 psi, unless otherwise noted within model code. Relief valve
can be set anywhere within the range of 300 psi to 3000 psi by switching out the relief spring to one of the following:
 300-700 psi – Use spring P/N: DC7594 (Yellow)
 700-1400 psi – Use spring P/N: P1270-360 (Orange)
 1400 - 2500 psi – Use spring P/N: P1270 (Yellow, standard)
 2400 – 3000 psi – Use spring P/N: P1279 (White)
To adjust relief pressure: First, loosen the 1” hex lock nut. This gives you access to the relief set screw. Turning
the relief adjustment screw with a 5/16” allen clockwise will increase relief pressure.
 Handle Assembly – Regardless of handle style, the handle retainer comes preinstalled on valve.
L-Style Handle: The mounting point of handle retainer is above the spool.
J-Style Handle: The mounting point of handle retainer is below the spool.
To install handle(s):
1. First, align the 2 handle linkage brackets so they taper toward each other. When pressed together they
will resemble a “Y”.
2. Second, using the longest clevis pin, mount the linkage brackets at their widest point to the outside of the
handle retainer. Secure the linkages with 1 of the hitch pins.
Note: For TS3 models, the handle linkages for all 3 spools will be assembled at the factory.
3. Third, using the shortest clevis pin, mount the handle between the linkages using the hole closest to the
edge of the handle. Secure the handle with 1 of the remaining hitch pins.
4. Finally, using the remaining clevis pin & hitch pin, secure the handle to spool using the slot in the spool.
5. Repeat 1-4 for 2 spool models.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Can I paint the valve?
A: Painting valves is acceptable as long as the following precautions are taken:
1- All ports must be plugged
2- Spool must be masked or taped off completely.
Any paint on the spool will cause leakage when it chips off. Warranty is void if any valve is returned with paint on
the spool
Please note you can order a valve already painted from factoring by adding a P to beginning of model number.
