Kits to change how a lever behaves, or to swap a spool for a different function, without buying a new valve.
A spring kit returns the lever to neutral when released. A detent kit holds it where it is put — either in three positions, or latched in one direction only (detent in A pulls, detent in B pushes).
Think before converting to detent. A detented lever leaves a function running with nobody holding it. That is right for a conveyor or an auger; it is wrong for anything that lifts, tips or could trap a person. If you are unsure, keep the spring.
| Spool | Function |
| S1 | Double acting — the standard, both ports powered |
| S4 | Motor spool — A and B open to tank at neutral so a motor can coast to a stop |
| S7 / S8 | Single acting — one port powered, the other blocked or open |
Motor spools matter. Stopping a hydraulic motor with a closed-centre spool makes it try to keep turning against a locked column of oil. The S4 lets it coast down instead.
DCV spares are model specific. A DCV40 kit will not fit a DCV60, even where the part looks identical. Check the model plate on the valve before ordering.
Match the kit to the spool code stamped on your section - spools are matched to their bore in production, so a kit fixes seals and springs, not a scored bore. Reseal on the bench, not on the machine: clean the cavity, oil every seal before assembly, and never drive a seal home dry. If a spool is scored or the bore shows wear lines, replace the section - new seals will not save it.
