Abstract
A hydraulic control assembly includes means for holding pressure in a cylinder to inhibit boom or arm drop of a machine in the event that a hose between the cylinder and a main control valve (MCV) ruptures. The pressure holding means of the hydraulic control assembly include a hydraulic valve and a parts-in-body check assembly both configured for insertion into a valve cavity defined by a valve body. The hydraulic valve comprises a proportional piloted valve that controls pressure.
