Directional Control Valve Options; 2-Position, 2-Way Manual Valve Used With Single-Acting Cylinder (Figure 1) - SPX Power Team PE55-E110 Series Operating Instructions Manual

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE OPTIONS

• Some valves return fluid to the reservoir when the pump stops or when the valve is shifted. The
correct valve must be used, especially when lifting a load.
• "Hold-to-run" controls are recommended and must be used with correct valves for certain applica-
tions, especially when lifting a load.
• Not all valves fit on all pumps.
When lifting or lowering a load, the load must be under operator control at all times and others must be
clear of the load. Use blocking and cribbing to guard against a falling load. Do not drop the load. The
use of a load lowering or metering valve is recommended in addition to the pump directional control
valve.
