Boman Ball And Valve Kit for Model 6600

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the BO 60255 ball and valve kit contain?
A: The BO 60255 is a ball and valve kit designed for Boman manual pallet jack hydraulic control systems. The kit restores pressure control, load hold, and lift regulation by replacing worn or damaged ball valves and check valve components in the hydraulic circuit.

Q: Which Boman pallet jack models use the BO 60255 ball and valve kit?
A: The BO 60255 is compatible with Boman model 6600 series manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model number and serial range against the documentation to confirm this is the correct valve kit for your unit before ordering.

Q: What is the purpose of the ball and valve components in the BO 60255?
A: The ball valves in the kit control flow direction and pressure regulation in the hydraulic system. They enable lift function when activated and prevent load drop by holding pressure. Worn ball seating or cracked valve bodies result in pressure loss, weak lift, or inability to hold load.

Q: How do I know when the BO 60255 kit needs replacement?
A: Replace the ball and valve kit when experiencing slow or weak lift action, inability to maintain load on raised forks, unexpected load drift, or complete loss of pressure. These symptoms indicate ball valve seating wear or internal leakage through the valve cavity.

Q: What material are the ball and valve components constructed from?
A: Standard ball and valve kits for Boman units use hardened steel balls and ductile iron or aluminum valve bodies. These materials withstand 3000 PSI hydraulic pressures. Verify material specifications in the kit documentation for your equipment configuration.
