Installation and maintenance
The SD18 valve is assembled and tested as per the technical specification of this catalogue.
Before the final installation on your equipment, follow the below recommendations:
-- the valve can be assembled in any position, in order to prevent body deformation and spool 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.
