VALVE BODY AND STUB SHAFT-DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION: The valve body is a precisely manufac-
tured unit with components selectively fitted to con-
form to tolerances as close as 0.00082 mm (0.0004

anced during manufacture. If replacement is neces-
sary, the complete valve body must be replaced. To
avoid possible damage, the valve body should not
be disassembled unless absolutely necessary. If the
valve spool damper O-ring seal requires replace-
ment, remove the valve spool only as instructed in
the following procedure.
