Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the VJ 445 overload valve do?
A: The VJ 445 overload valve is a safety component that protects the hydraulic system from excessive pressure. It automatically opens to relieve pressure when load or operating conditions exceed safe limits, preventing damage to pump and cylinder components.
Q: Which pallet jacks is the VJ 445 overload valve designed for?
A: The VJ 445 overload valve is compatible with Valu-Jack model KD5500 manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment matches this model and check pressure rating specifications before ordering.
Q: What is the pressure rating of the VJ 445 overload valve?
A: The VJ 445 is set to open at the pressure rating specified for Valu-Jack KD5500 series equipment. Check your equipment documentation for exact pressure settings. Do not adjust or tamper with valve calibration.
Q: When should the VJ 445 overload valve be replaced?
A: Replace the VJ 445 if the pallet jack reaches maximum height with no load or if pressure relief sounds continuously during normal operation. A faulty valve cannot protect hydraulic components from overpressure damage.
