Introduction Overview This manual includes information for servicing PVG 100 valves. It includes a description of the units and their individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor repair procedures. Performing minor repairs may require removal from the vehicle/machine. Thoroughly clean the unit before beginning maintenance, or repair activities.
Service Manual PVG 100 Proportional Valves Introduction For repair, place the unit in a stable position with the shaft pointing downward. Secure the motor while removing and torquing controls, and valves.Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.

PVG 100 Proportional Valves Operation PVG 100 Group with Open Center PVPF When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules are in the neutral position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure matching spool to tank. The oil flow led across the pressure matching spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).

PVPC with Check Valve for Open Center PVP PVPC, with check valve, is used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG 100 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow. When the external solenoid valve is opened, oil from the pressure side of the cylinder is fed via the PVPC through the pressure reducing valve to act as the pilot supply for the electrical actuators.
Service Manual PVG 100 Proportional Valves Operation Friction detent PVMR Friction Detent The friction detent PVMR allows the directional spool to be held in any position, resulting in infinitely variable, pressure compensated flow. The spool position will be held indefinitely without the necessity of holding the mechanical lever.
The coil on the valve must be energized for pilot oil to be available in the valve stack. This safety feature vents all hydraulic controls dependant on the PVG 100 pilot supply to the TØ gallery, thus reducing the possibility of accidental activation of a hydraulic work function.

Confirm that valve is built properly according to the specification sheet. If necessary, install a lever to the valve to verify proper mechanical function. Refer to PVG 100 Technical Information Manual 520L0720 for valve configuration information. Refer to PVG 100 Parts Manual 520L0888 for part numbers.
