Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the BO 60138 lever release valve?
A: The BO 60138 is a genuine Boman lever/release valve that controls the hydraulic circuit for the lowering function in manual pallet jack pump assemblies. It meters return flow and allows controlled descent of the load.
Q: What material is the BO 60138 valve constructed from?
A: The BO 60138 is machined from carbon steel with ground seating surfaces to ensure proper hydraulic sealing and consistent flow control across repeated lowering cycles.
Q: How does the BO 60138 operate in the hydraulic system?
A: The BO 60138 operates in the low-pressure hydraulic return circuit for the release function. When activated, it opens a controlled bleed path allowing pressurized oil to flow back to the reservoir, enabling smooth and safe load lowering.
Q: Is the BO 60138 compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: No, the BO 60138 is designed exclusively for Boman manual pallet jack models using the specified hydraulic pump architecture. Cross-fitting to other manufacturers can cause system failure and safety hazards.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BO 60138 valve needs replacement?
A: Replace the BO 60138 if lowering becomes sluggish or jerky, if hydraulic fluid leaks from the valve body, or if the lever does not return to rest position smoothly. These symptoms indicate worn seating surfaces or internal damage.
