Section I. - Introduction A. Purpose of Manual C. Model Codes Variations within each basic model series are covered in the This manual describes operational characteristics, model code. See Table 2. Each unit has a model code maintenance requirements, and overhaul information for stamped into the main stage nameplate.

Section III. - Valve Operation A. General B. Type ‘1’ spool is designed with ports (P), (A) and (T) interconnected. Port (B) is blocked in center position. Directional valve operation is determined by four factors: spool type, spool positioning, method of control, and special features.

3. Spring Offset: Single stage spring offset models use one spring to return the spool to an offset position. In two-stage models, the spring and washer is removed from the main stage and offset action is obtained from the pilot valve. Offset pilots have a solenoid removed from the spring end of Shoulder the valve.

Detent models are indicated by the letter ‘N’ stamped into 2. Pilot Choke Option (Fig. 9): A pilot choke increases the the unit nameplate. Figure 7 illustrates the spool/spring amount of time it takes to shift the main stage spool from arrangement on detent models.

3. Reducer Module (Fig 10): The reducer module is stage body. When the orifice plug is removed, larger volumes required for Air Gap and Wet Armature piloted models when of fluid will enter the pilot valve section. When the pilot valve pilot pressure exceeds 210 bar (3000 psi).
Figure 11. DG5V10 with DG4S4-01 Pilot Section IV - Pilot Valve Section A. Spool Type - Pilot Valve Section The detent(s) hold the pilot spool in the last position attained until the opposite solenoid is energized. As in the offset To maintain proper control, closed center pilot spools are valve, solenoid power is reduced by the sacrifice of the normally used in two stage valves.

B. Wet Armature Type Solenoids: Wet armature solenoids are standard on DG4V-3, DG4S4-01-60, and DG4V4-01 pilot valves only. Wet armature solenoids have many design advantages over other types of solenoids. Some advantages include cooler operation, static sealing arrangements, immunity to moisture and greater burn-out resistance.DG4V-3 and DG4S4-01* wet armature solenoids are not serviced with individual parts.
5. Accessories for Electrical Type Solenoids: The model Wiring Note code (Table 2) indicates the type of accessories used on Connect white wires to ‘‘A’’ solenoid and black wires to directional valves. Obtain a parts and service drawing for the ‘‘B’’ solenoid. Refer to parts drawing (Table 1) for your particular model (see Table 1).
3. Pilot Pressure Conversions: If it is necessary to convert 2. External Drain (Standard): External drain models are your unit from external pilot pressure to internal pilot recommended if pressure surges in the tank line CAN pressure or vice versa, internal plug(s) must be removed or overcome pilot pressure.

Section VII - Service, Inspection & Maintenance A. Service Tools D. Adjustments No special tools are required to service this valve series. No periodic adjustments are required other than normal system maintenance, B. Inspection E. Replacement Parts Periodic inspection of the fluid condition and tube or piping connections can save time consuming breakdown and Reliable operation throughout the specified operating range unnecessary parts replacement.
