Installation and maintenance
The SD8 valve is assembled and tested as per the technical specification of this catalog.
Before the final installation on your equipment, follow the below recommendations:
-- the valve can be assembled in any position, in order to prevent working sections deformation and spools sticking mount the
product on a flat surface;
-- in order to prevent the possibility of water entering the lever box and spool control kit, do not use high pressure wash down directly
on the valve;
-- prior to painting, ensure plastic port plugs are tightly in place.
