a metal 7-pin plug. The screen of the cable must
be securely connected to the shell of the metal
connector. A suitable IP67 rated connector is available

applications, to ensure that the solenoids are kept full of KBX(C)G-8................................... 614826
hydraulic fluid.
If this proves to be the case any accumulated air can be
bled from the solenoid bleed screw. This task is easier
if the valve has been mounted base downwards. Good
installation practice dictates that the tank port, and any
drain port, are piped so as to keep the valve full of fluid
once the system start-up has been completed.
