6 Maintenance
Apart from a regular visual check for external leaks or
damaged cables and a change of filter, no maintenance
work is necessary on the series D661K to D664K valves.
Explosion protected valves D661K.../D662K.../D663K...
and D664K... must not be opened by the customer
under any circumstances.
Unauthorized opening will invalidate the explosion-
proof approval! Return failed valve to the factory.
These explosion protected valves can only be repaired
at the Moog GmbH service office (see address on the
back of the operating instructions).
6.1 Filter replacement
The built-in filter disk protects jet and receiver against coarse
contaminants. With severe contamination the valve res-
ponse will be reduced.
Replace filter!
Cleaning is useless and may be dangerous!
Before starting to work on the valve clean the external
surface around the filter cover!
6.1.1 Dismantle the four hexagon socket screws (3) with the SW3
hexagon socket screw key and remove the filter cover (1).
6.1.2 Pull out the filter plug (2), which is now accessible, with
the help of one of the screws (3) by means of the M4 thread.
6.1.3 Remove the filter disk (5) with a scriber or a fine screwdriver.
Do not reinsert used filter disks.
6.1.4 Check O-rings (4.1) and (4.2) and replace them if necessary. Pay
attention to the correct material for the O-ring, NBR or FPM.
6.1.5 Insert the new filter disk. For this, firstly insert the O-ring
(4.2), then the filter disk (5) in such a way that the side
with the impression points towards the outside. Insert
O-ring (4.1) in the filter plug with some clean grease and
insert the filter plug (2) in the bore.
6.1.6 Assemble cover (1) with the four M4 hexagon socket screws
(3) and tighten with a torque of 4,1 Nm.
6.1.7 After putting the valve into operation, check it for external
leaks.

5 Setting up
This information is valid for new installations to be put into operation
as well as for valve replacement.
5.1 Filling the hydraulic system
New oil is never clean. Therefore the system should generally
be filled by using a filling filter.This fine mesh filter should at
least comply with the following requirement:
β10 ≥75 (10 µm absolute).
5.2 Flushing the hydraulic system
Before the hydraulic system is put into operation for the
first time (also after modifications) it has to be flushed care-
fully according to the instructions of the manufacturer of
the machine/plant.
5.2.1 Before flushing suitable flushing elements have to be inserted
in the pressure filters instead of the high pressure elements.
5.2.2 During flushing the operational temperature of the hydrau-
lic system should be achieved. Observe temperature!
5.2.3 A flushing plate or, if the system allows, a directional valve
should be mounted in place of the proportional valve. The
P- and T-connections are flushed through the flushing plate.
The user A- and B-connections can also be flushed by the
directional valve.
Attention, the directional valve can lead to unpermissable
movements in the load (i.e., with parallel drives), which
may result in damage to the machine/plant. Instructions of
the manufacturer have to be strictly observed.
Minimum flushing time t can be calculated as follows:
5.2.4 The flushing process can be considered completed when a
system cleanliness of 19/16/13 according ISO 4406:1999
or better is achieved. A long life of the metering lands of
the proportional valve can be expected for this cleanliness
class.
5.2.5 Replace flushing elements in the pressure filters by suitable
high pressure elements after flushing. Install proportional
valve instead of flushing plate or directional valve.
5.3 Setting up
5.3.1 After setting up the valves, put the machine or system into
operation, observing the operating instructions of the
machine/plant manufacturer. Vent the system.
5.3.2 The safety directives of the machine/plant manufacturer
must be observed (EN 954-1).
In particular, the safety requirements to IEC 60079-1 and
IEC 60079-7 apply.
The special safety requirements for machines such as in
jection moulding machines (EN 201), blow moulding
machines (EN 422) and die casting machines (EN 869), to
name a few, are important.
5.3.3 Observe the oil temperature.
5.3.4 Check the hydraulic system for external leaks.
