To install the valve:
19. Transfer the elbows orientation mark to the new
valve.
20. Check or replace the O-rings on the fittings.
21. Thread the elbow into the valve, hand tight, until it is
aligned with the orientation mark.
22. Tighten the jam nut until the O-ring is compressed.
23. Thread the end of the straight fitting without the jam
nut into the control valve. Tighten the fitting until it
compresses the O-ring.
24. Thread the straight fitting and control valve into the
cylinder hand tight.
25. Align the valve so that it is parallel to the cylinder.
See Figure 4.8.
26. Finish installing the control valve by following steps 1 - 12 in reverse order.
NOTE: The threads of the straight fitting are sealed by the jam nut compressing the O-ring, not by bottoming
out the threads.
NOTE: When tightening hoses with O-ring face fittings, hold the hose so that the center part of it does not
rotate against the O-ring while the swivel section is tightened. If the center part rotates, the O-ring can
be damaged and it will leak under pressure.
27. Replace the filter by following the procedures described in Chapter 8: Maintenance.
28. Check the hydraulic fluid level.
29. Start the engine.
30. Cycle the control valve through its full range of travel 12 times to bleed the air from the system.
31. Test run the splitter before returning it to service.
