“2. Service data, Performance criteria”
2. Check the pilot valve
Check if the spool of the pilot valve returns to the neu-
tral
position when the operation lever (slew) is released
after operation. Disconnect the hose connecting the
pilot valve and control valve (slew block) from the con-
tr
ol valve. Fit the pressure gauge to the hose just dis-
connected.
• Operate the lever (slew) and then release it to read
the pressure gauge.
• If the pressure is zero, the pilot valve is normal.
