Valve Mounting Position
The valve assembly (G) can be fitted in two positions (H) to
suit various types of tractor.
The position for the valve (G) must always be chosen to
ensure that there is no strain on the hydraulic hoses and that
the hoses do not chafe.
With the machine in both the lift and lowered positions, check
the hose routing to ensure that no chafing occurs.
Any small adjustments should be carried out by resetting the
hoses at the motors, either at the elbows or the hose end fittings.
For some tractors, adjustment at the control valve elbow fittings may also be necessary to prevent chafing.
