4/7/2011 - SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany – Airman 1st Class Gary Hutchison, 52nd Equipment Maintenance Squadron aerospace ground equipment journeyman, removes bolts from a directional control valve on a MJ-1B bomb lift here April 7. The directional control valve controls the tilt and movement of the lift table enabling weapons loaders to make minuscule adjustments to munitions during the load process. Hydraulic lines power the valve, which then controls the tilt and horizontal movement of the load table. The driver can use the valve to fine-tune the position of the munitions.

The directional control valve controls the tilt and movement of the lift table enabling weapons loaders to make minuscule adjustments to munitions during the load process. The control valve has four manifolds, each controlling a specific function of the load plate. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Nathanael Callon)
