P otential Tr ouble
Proportional valve does not respond to
command signal
Output flow obtained from one control
port only. Limited or no response to
command signal.
High null bias (actuator drifts or hydraulic
motor slowly rotates when controller
returns to neutral).
Poor response (valve delays in returning to
neutral after controller is returned to
neutral).
Non-repeatability (valve fails to return to
neutral each time controller is returned to
neutral).
Probable Cause
1 Controller does not function
2.Open or miswired controller cable
3.Open connector lead or damaged
electronics board
4.Jammed spool
5.Filter completely plugged
1.Controller not functioning properly
2.Filter silted with contamination
3.Plugged inlet orifice assembly
4.Plugged torque motor
5.Jammed spool
6.Electrical null adjust adjusted hardover
1.Incorrect null adjustment
2.Filter silted with contamination
3.Partially plugged inlet orifice assembly
4.Partially plugged torque motor
5.Damaged electronics
1.Filter silted with contamination
2.Contamination in spool bore
1.Controller not functioning properly
2.Contamination in spool bore
3.Partially plugged torque motor assembly

7. TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
The following troubleshooting chart list potential troubles encountered,probable causes,and remedies.
8.FIL TER ASSEMBL Y REPLACEMENT
a. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench,remove the four (4) socket head capscrews
and lockwashers. Remove filter plate.
b. Remove,inspect and discard filter disc. Remove O-Ring from filter cavity
and retainer plate.
c. Install new O-Rings and filter. Install filter retainer using 4 socket head
capscrews.torque to 36 inch pounds.
9.FUNCTIONAL CHECKOUT AND CENTERING
a. Install the control valve in your hydraulic system or test fixture,but do not
connect electrical lead.
b. Apply required system pressure to the control valve and visually examine
for evidence of external leakage.If leakage is present and cannot be
rectified by replacing O-Rings,remove the discrepant component and
return for repair or replacement.
Note: If the system components are drifting or hardover,adjust
the electrical null of the control valve.
c. Connect electrical lead to control valve and check phasing in accordance
with system requirements.
10.AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITIES
Moog does not authorize any facilities other than Moog or Moog subsidiaries to
repair its servovalves.It is recommended you contact Moog at (716)655-3000
to locate your closest Moog repair facility.Repair by an independent
