Overview of throttle valves type ED, restrictor check valves type RD and
RDF
Throttle valves are a type of ow valve. They affect the ow rate for single and
double-acting consumers.
The restrictor check valve type RD and RDF combines the function of a ow valve
with a check valve. It regulates in one ow direction and permits free ow in the
other direction. Types ED and RD are adjustable.
The valve type ED, RD and RDF can be integrated directly in the line.
Features and benets:
Sensitively adjustable
Wear-resistant
Intended applications:
General hydraulic systems

Installation, operation and maintenance information
5.1 Intended application
This valveis intended exclusively for hydraulic applications (uid engineering). The valve meets high technical safety standards and
regulations for uid.
The user must observe the safety measures and warnings in this documentation.
Essential requirements for the product to function correctly and safely:
All information in this documentation must be observed. This applies in particular to all safety measures and warnings.
The product must only be assembled and put into operation by qualied personnel.
The product must only be operated within the specied technical parameters. The technical parameters are described in detail in this
documentation.
The operating and maintenance manual of the specic complete system must also always be observed.
If the product can no longer be operated safely:
Remove the product from operation and mark it accordingly. It is then not permitted to continue using or operating the product.
5.2 Assembly information
The product must only be installed in the complete system with standard connection components that comply with market requirements
(screw ttings, hoses, pipes, etc.).
The hydraulic system must be shut down correctly prior to dismounting; this applies in particular to hydraulic systems with hydraulic
accumulators.
Danger
Risk to life caused by sudden movement of the hydraulic drives when dismantled incorrectly!
Risk of serious injury or death.
Depressurise the hydraulic system.
Perform safety measures in preparation for maintenance.

5.3 Operating instructions
Product configuration and setting the pressure and ow rate
The statements and technical parameters in this documentation must be strictly observed.
The instructions for the complete technical system must also always be followed.
Note
Read the documentation carefully before usage.
The documentation must be accessible to the operating and maintenance staff at all times.
Keep documentation up to date after every addition or update.
Caution
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement processes in the machine due to incorrect ow setting!
Risk of minor injury
Be prepared for unexpected, fast movements. On changing the ow settings, consumers will move more slowly or more
quickly.
Always monitor the pressure gauge when setting or changing the ow.
Purity and ltering of the hydraulic uid
Fine contamination can significantly impair the function of a hydraulic power pack. Contamination can cause irreparable damage.
Examples of ne contamination include:
Metal chips
Rubber particles from hoses and seals
Dirt due to assembly and maintenance
Mechanical debris
Chemical ageing of the hydraulic uid
Note
Fresh hydraulic uid from the drum does not always have the highest degree of purity. Under some circumstances the fresh
hydraulic uid must be ltered before use.
Pay attention to the cleanliness level of the hydraulic uid in order to maintain faultless operation.
(Also see cleanliness level in Chapter 3, "Parameters".)
5.4 Maintenance information
This product is largely maintenance-free.
Conduct a visual inspection at regular intervals, but at least once per year, to check if the hydraulic connections are damaged. If
external leakages are found, shut down and repair the system.
Clean the device surface of dust deposits and dirt at regular intervals, but at least once per year.
