Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technican or bystanders.
To prevent uintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism while
servicing.
Warning
Flammable cleaning solvents
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To eliminate the risk of fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an
area where a source of ignition may be present.
Warning
Fluid under pressure
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek
medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Warning
Personal safety
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses at all times.
Warning
Product safety
Steering units are safety components and therefore it is extremely important that the greatest care is
taken when servicing these products. There is not much wear on a steering unit and therefore they
normally outlast the application they are built into. Therefore the only recommended service work on
steering units is:
VSPP is only available as “Load Sensing dynamic, non-reaction” version.
The exploded view is universal. Some variants are without shock and suction valves.

VSPP assembly
Assemble spool/sleeve set
To assemble spool/sleeve set with springs, cross pin, and ring, folow these steps.
1. Place the curved springs between the flat ones and press them into place.
Press springs into place
Configuration of spring set (14):
There can be different numbers of curved springs, depending on configuration of spring set.
There can be 2, 4, or 6 curved springs.
Spring configuration
Some spool and sleeve sets for VSPP must be positioned correctly, relative to each other. Small marks
are present of both the spool and sleeve, close to one of the slots for the spring set.
Most spool and sleeve sets for VSPP have no marks, so those can be positioned relative to each other,
in either of the 2 positions possible.
