Hydraulic Circuit

Counterbalance Valve
• Designed to maintain and
monitor the lowering of load in
one direction.
• Prevents the lowering of the
cylinder in the event of hose
failure.
• Avoid accidental control lever

To be able to adjust a counter balance valve, a test brench is required..

The procedure is described in the Technical information nr 609
Replacement of the counter balance valve Hydraulic Circuit

C

A= 17mm

It is possible to « unlock » the conter balance valve in order to release the pressure to be
able to disconnect the it from the cylinder.

1-Remove the time delay screw (B) and the counter nut (C).
2-Remove the thread to have a lug (7mm).
3-Tighten the new screw.
4-When you are in the contact, turn the screw slowly.
