Removal and installation
STEP 1

Disassemble the retaining screws (1), and then remove

the cover (2).
STEP 9

hydraulic reservoir (see Section 8000).
STEP 3

Remove the floor mat (1).

STEP 10

Disassemble the retaining screws (1), and then remove

the negative terminal (2) of the battery.
When removing the terminal and harness, secure them
so that they do not interfere with the frame. Also, be
sure to protect them with a rubber cap or other
protective device, to prevent sparks.
STEP 4
To prevent any fluid leaks when disconnecting
hydraulic lines, connect a vacuum pump to the Disassemble the retaining screws (1) on both sides,
hydraulic reservoir (see Section 8000). and then remove the left and right travel pedals (2).
STEP 5
Attach identification tags on all hoses of the control
pedal block.
STEP 6
Start the vacuum pump.
STEP 7
Provide for a container to recover any possible
hydraulic fluid leaks.

STEP 11 STEP 15

Disassemble the retaining screws (1), and then remove Disassemble the retaining screws (1) on both sides of
the under cover (2). the lever, and then remove the lever.
STEP 12 STEP 16

Remove and seal the hydraulic hoses (1). Disassemble the retaining screws (1) on both sides of
the travel lever.
STEP 13
Shut off the vacuum pump. STEP 17
STEP 14

Remove the junction joints (1), put plugs on the ports of
the control pedal, then discard the O-rings.
NOTE: When installing, replace all O-rings with new O-
rings.
Pull up the travel remote control valve into the cab, and
then remove the travel remote control valve.
NOTE: When installing, proceed in the reverse order to
that of removal. Start the engine and operate the
control levers. Stop the engine, check the circuit for
leaks and the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir, top up
if necessary.

STEP 7 STEP 10

Roll up the boot (1) of the control lever, remove the

connector (2) of the horn switch, and cut and remove
the tie wrap (3). Remove the hoses (1).
Mark the joystick remote control valve and hose joints
STEP 8 so that they can be connected correctly at the time of
assembly.
Use caps or plugs to cover the joystick remote control
valve and hoses to prevent the entry of water, dust or
dirt.
Clean the joystick remote control valve and hoses by
spraying with a parts cleaner to prevent scratches and
prevent dirt from accumulating on the connectors.
STEP 11
Shut off the vacuum pump.
STEP 12

With a wrench holding the rod (1), loosen the locknut

(2) and remove the control levcer (3).
NOTE: When installing, tighten the locknut to a torque
of 41 Nm.
STEP 9

Disassemble the retaining screws (1).

Roll up and open the hose cover (1).

STEP 13

Remove the control lever block (1) out from the bracket.
NOTE: When installing, replace all O-rings with new O-
rings.
NOTE: When installing, proceed in the reverse order to
that of removal. Start the engine and operate the
control levers. Stop the engine, check the circuit for
leaks and the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir, top up
if necessary.

Cushion control valve STEP 5
Removal and installation
NOTE: Refer to page 3 and carry out steps 1 to 4.
STEP 1
Open the left-hand side doors.
STEP 2

Remove the bolts (1), and then remove the under cover
(2) from the bottom of the cab rear.
STEP 3
To aid installation, put identification tags on the
hydraulic hoses.
STEP 4
Start the vacuum pump. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses (2) from the cushion
control valve (1). Seal the hydraulic hoses and the ports
of the cushion control valve.
Disassemble the retaining screws (3) and then remove
the cushion control valve from his bracket.
STEP 6
Shut off the vacuum pump.
STEP 7
Install the cushion control valve in a vice with protective
jaws. Loosen then remove the adaptors, the elbow
union and the connector.
NOTE: When installing, proceed in the reverse order to
that of removal. Start the engine, operate the control
levers, stop the engine, check the circuit for leaks and
the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir, top up if
necessary.

Loosen the retaining screws (1) from the solenoid valve

block (2). While supporting the solenoid valve block (2),
remove the screws (1) and the washers. Remove the
solenoid valve block (2) from its bracket.
STEP 9
For proper installation of the connections, mark the
locations of the elbow unions. Hold the solenoid valve
in a vice. Remove the elbow unions and the straight
unions from the ports of the solenoid valve. Seal the
ports of the solenoid valve with plugs to avoid any
penetration of foreign bodies into the block.
NOTE: When installing, proceed in the reverse order to
that of removal. Start the engine. Activate several times
the solenoid valves (selection of the second speed,
swing brake control, power boost, cushion pilot
cancellation, swing pilot cancellation, pilot pressure
cancellation control). Stop the engine, check the circuit
for leaks and the hydraulic oil level in the reservoir, top
up if necessary.
