Depth Control Valve Manual Extract

Product Overview

The depth control valve is an essential component in managing the slow-speed lifting operations of hydraulic systems. This manual extract explains the operational mechanism of the valve, focusing on how oil flow is managed to achieve precise control over lifting actions.

Key Features

• Slow-speed lifting position adjustment of approximately 1/8 inch.
• Flow divider valve that channels oil into three distinct passages.
• Trigger valve mechanism for controlling return oil flow.
• Load check valve that directs oil to hitch cylinders.

Benefits

• Ensures precise control over hydraulic lifting operations.
• Reduces hydraulic pressure fluctuations, providing smoother operation.
• Limits oil volume to hitch cylinders, preventing overloading.
• Prevents unwanted movement by shutting the return passage when necessary.

Usage Recommendations

• Operate the hand lever to adjust the lift action according to load requirements.
• Regularly check the valveu2019s components for wear or leaks to maintain optimal performance.
• Ensure the hydraulic system is properly maintained to avoid pressure inconsistencies.

When the valve is in the slow-speed lifting position, oil entering the inlet port is managed by a flow divider, directing the oil through specific passages. For effective lift action, ensure the hand lever is utilized to maintain the desired position, or adjust the linkage to suit operational needs.
