   When working with hydraulic components, cleanliness is essential and ANY FOREIGN MATERIAL (DIRT) can damage equipment! Clean area around the hydro control valve thoroughly with steam cleaner prior to removing it, then make sure valve is clean before installing it.

   IMPORTANT: Make sure wiring harness is disconnected and kept out of the way of any dripping oil before removing screen access plug. Oil in wiring harness connectors will damage equipment.
