Hydraulic Distributor Valve
The distributor valve that controls the hydraulic functions of the machine is located under the
vehicle and is only accessible from beneath the machine. When working on this, or any other
item located under the machine, great care must be adopted to ensure the machine is securely
positioned before attempting to access or work on the component.
WARNING: Never attempt to work under any machine that it not safely supported and
chocked using suitable equipment specifically designed for the task and capable of
supporting its weight.
Access to the valve is gained by removal of the protection plate which is held in position by six
bolts.
Expansion Vessel – Flail Head Hydraulic Circuit
Machines are provided with an ‘Expansion Vessel’ to protect the flail head’s hydraulic system
when the head has been removed from the machine. The Expansion Vessel attaches to the flail
head drain line to permit oil escape for protection of the hydraulic motor’s shaft seals.
The ‘Expansion Vessel’ must be
installed on the flail head drain line
at all times when the flail head is
unattached.
