BE FAMILIARIZED WITH THE HYDRAULIC VALVES USED

First, you need to be familiarized with the type of hydraulic valve in the system as they consist of different parts and you need to know how to disassemble, and assemble them. Once you have disassembled the hydraulic valve you need to check for the different parts if they are worn-out for instance the o-rings. Moreover, you need to remember to always maintain cleanliness while working with valves and keep them free of dirt.

Remove the old o-rings, burrs, and nicks of the different parts found within the valve to make sure they are smooth and not penetrated by the fluids. You may find that some parts work together with others. If any burrs are present, this may cause contamination or friction on the different parts. All sliding and moving parts need to be smooth.

Clean all disassembled parts, dry them properly, and replace the o-rings before assembling. Inspect the plunger seats and the body of the valve for wear and tear. Do thorough inspections not missing worn-out parts.

Make sure to inspect the hydraulic valve springs and tapered portion of the pin making sure they are not used up making sure they last to the next maintenance schedule. Provide lubrication to the different parts to prevent friction and have them functioning properly. Assemble all parts of the hydraulic valve with care or if you are not sure on how to do this rather call in one of A-Tech’s Hydraulic technicians to come and assist you.
