Control Valve Spool Seal Replacement

IMPORTANT: To prevent leakage, make sure you
keep foreign material such as dirt, sand or paint
chips out of valve body seal grooves.
NOTE: Except for the seal under No. 4 spool bonnet,
the valve bank does not normally have to be removed
from the machine to replace spool seals.
