Main Control Valve

SMCS - 5451-010; 5451-015; 5451-016

Remove & Install Main Control Valve

At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil tank is hot and under

pressure. Hot oil can cause burns. To prevent possible personal injury,
release the pressure in the implement hydraulic circuits (boom, stick
and bucket) before any hydraulic lines or components are disconnected
or removed.

1. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system as follows:

a. Fully retract the rod in the stick cylinder.

b. Adjust the position of the bucket so it will be flat on the ground when the boom is lowered.
c. Lower the boom until the bucket is flat on the ground.
d. Shut off the engine, and put the hydraulic activation control lever in the "Lock" position.
e. Move the control levers for the boom, bucket, stick and swing through their full travel
strokes. This will relieve any pressure that may be present in the pilot system.
f. Slowly loosen the air breather cap on the hydraulic oil tank to release the pressure.
g. Tighten the air breather cap on the hydraulic oil tank.
h. The pressure in the hydraulic system has now been released. Lines and components can now
be removed.

2. Remove the access cover from under the hydraulic oil tank.
