DASH PANEL & MANIFOLD 
ASSEMBLY
(See Figure 2 and 3)
If it is necessary to remove the manifold assembly, the 
manifold (7, fi g. 2) has no internal parts and it would be a 
rare case that the manifold would need replacing. The parts 
attached to the manifold are as follows Directional valve 
(27, fi g. 2), Pressure switch (26, fi g. 2) , Relief valve (24, fi g. 
2), Coil (29, fi g. 2) and attached hoses, couplers and plugs.
NOTE:  
Disconnect the battery terminals before servicing the 
manifold assembly or any dash panel components.
MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Remove hose clamp (3, fi g. 3) from the hose near the 
manifold assembly, then remove the hose (10, fi g. 3). 
2. Remove hose (7, fi g. 3) from the manifold assembly, 
again hydraulic oil will drain from this hose.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness plugs from the pressure 
switch (26, fi g. 2) and from the directional valve (27, fi g. 2).
4. While holding the manifold assembly in one hand, re-
move the 2 capscrews (6, fi g. 2) and remove the manifold 
out through the back of the dash panel.
5. Reinstall in the reverse order. 
RELIEF VALVE (See Figure 2, Item  24).
DESCRIPTION:  The relief valve allows oil to by-pass to 
the reservoir when the system pressure reaches a pre-set 
setting.  The relief valve is set to by-pass at a "cracking" 
pressure of 2100-2300 psi/145-158 bar.
While adjustments can be made to the relief setting (see 
TESTING and TROUBLESHOOTING), the parts of the 
relief valve are not serviceable.
To adjust or remove the relief valve, follow the steps under 
“Testing the Hydraulic Circuit” in the  TESTING and TROU-
BLE SHOOTING section of this manual.
DASH PANEL SWITCH REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Disconnect the wire harness plugs from the back of the 
switches before removing them.
3. To remove the switches from the dash panel, push in on 
the sides of the switch from the inside or back of the dash 
panel. You will fi nd four plastic narrow strips that must be 
pushed in while the switch is being pulled out from the front 
of the dash panel.
4. Reinstall in reverse order.
ENGINE & RELATED
COMPONENTS
ENGINE 
Most engine servicing can be performed without removing 
the engine.  Consult with your Briggs and Stratton or Honda 
Dealer regarding engine repairs.
Hydraulic oil will drain from this hose, take 
steps to clamp off hose or drain the hydraulic 
tank.
