Checkpoints Criteria Remarks
Leak amount
Replace the pilot valve assembly with
new one if the oil leak exceeds 1000 cc/
min with the steering wheel at neutral or
2000 cc/min while in operation.
Conditions:
Primary pressure: 2.95 MPa
Oil viscosity: 23 mm

/s
Spool
If the sliding face is worn over 10 μ
more than the non-sliding one, replace
the pilot valve assembly with new one.
This amount of wear corresponds to the
above leak amount. The same condi-
tions as above are expected.
Push rod If the tip is worn 1 mm or more, replace the push rod with new one.
Loose control elements
If the disc (302) or joint (301) is worn
out and loose 2 mm or more, replace it
with new one.
If the shakiness is caused by a loose
fixture, tighten it up.
Stable operation
If unusual noise, hunting, primary pres-
sure drop, etc, occurs and it cannot be
corrected according to "Chapter 8 Trou-
bleshooting", replace the pilot valve
assembly with new one.
