Selecting the single/double acting
modes
(Available only on some control valve types)
Somecontrolvalvescanberegulatedtocontrolsingle-
actingcylinders.
Todothis,justloosenthechecknut(2)andturnthe
screwfullyanti-clockwise(1).Nowlockthechecknut
again.
Toselectthedouble-actingmode,turntheadjuster
screw(1)clockwise.
Flow divider (if installed)
Onrequest,aflowdividerisavailable(3)thatis
mountedontheinputplateofthecontrolvalvepack
andiscoupledwiththefirstauxiliarycontrolvalve,ofa
typespecificforoperationwithaflowdivider.
Flow regulation
Thisdeviceregulatestheoilflowtothefirstcontrol
valve,andisspeciallyusefulforthoseimplementsthat
requireaverylimitedoilflowtoobtainprecisemove-
ments,ortoregulatethespeedinahydraulicengine.
Italsomaintainsanoilflowsufficienttousethelift
systemandtheexternalcircuitatthesametime,ifonly
thefirstauxiliaryvalveisused.Toregulatetheflow,
simplyturnthecontrolknobontheflowdivider.
Quick couplings
Eachcontrolvalvehastwoquickcouplingfemale
half-connectionsofthe“Push-Pull”(4)typethatcanbe
connectedtomalehalf-couplingsofanymakesolong
astheyareofthesamesize.Thehalf-couplingisvery
simpletocoupleanduncouple:pushtoconnectand
pulltodetach.

WARNING: Remove any pressure from the
circuit before hitching or unhitching the
quick couplings.
Removethedustcap.Cleantheimplementmalecou-
plerbeforeconnecting.
Oil sump
Eachquickcouplingisconnectedtoanoilsump(5)that
collectsoilleaks due tohitchingandunhitching of the
quickcouplings.Whentheoilreachesthemaximumlevel,
thesumpshouldbeemptiedincollectingtankssoasnot
tocontaminatetheenvironment.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pour the reservoir contents back into
the hydraulic system. Dispose of contents in accordance
with local regulations. DO NOT drain the contents on the
ground or into a drain. Be responsible for the environment.
WARNING: When auxiliary control valves
are used, their quick couplings can reach
high temperatures. Therefore, safety glo-
ves suitable for such temperatures must be
worn every time the connected implements
are connected to or disconnected from the
couplings.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the implement hose to
the tractor, make sure the hose is long enough to permit
the tractor to turn in both directions.
