Reference: Special Instruction, M0067494, "Installation Procedure for Auxiliary Relief Valves on Certain 308E2 CR Mini Hydraulic Excavators with an Updated Main Control Valve"

Description Of Change: A new main control valve group is now used on the machine listed above. The new main control valve group has an improved direct acting, screened pressure reducing valve (PRV). The previous PRV design contained multiple small internal components that were sensitive to contamination. The new main control valve for 308E2 CR also has a new auxiliary control section, that allows for the installation of an adjustable relief valve.

Adaptable To: The new main control is effective and adaptable to the machines listed in Table 4. Refer to Table 5 for the new part number of the main control valve.
