A manual override device for controlling at least one valve in a power system includes a rod having a first end and a second end. An attachment is configured to attach to a spool of the at least one valve and includes a clearance with respect to the first end of the rod so as to allow the attachment to move with the spool, during ordinary operation of the power system, without contacting the rod. A lever is connected to the second end of the rod and is configured to activate the manual override device by moving the rod in a longitudinal direction such that the first end of the rod makes contact with the attachment to move the spool.

1. A manual override device for controlling at least one valve in a power system, comprising: a rod having a first end and a second end;an attachment configured to attach to a spool of the at least one valve, the attachment including a clearance with respect to the first end of the rod so as to allow the attachment to move with the spool, during ordinary operation of the power system, without contacting the rod;a lever connected to the second end of the rod and configured to activate the manual override device by moving the rod in a longitudinal direction such that the first end of the rod makes contact with the attachment to move the spool;a housing configured to attach to a mount of the power system in the longitudinal direction below the spool, the housing including a plug end; anda spring disposed on the plug end within the housing and a stop collar disposed over the spring, wherein the rod extends through the housing, the stop collar, the spring and the plug end, and wherein the rod includes an enlarged diameter section at the first end which abuts the stop collar during the ordinary operation of the power system. 2. The manual override device according to claim 1, wherein the attachment includes a cutaway receptacle having a lip and a sidewall and the first end of the rod includes an extension. 3. The manual override device according to claim 2, wherein the extension is disposed along the sidewall between the sidewall and the spool such that the clearance includes a length of the sidewall. 4. The manual override device according to claim 1, wherein a spring force of the spring is greater than a pressure of the power system used to move the spool during the ordinary operation of the power system. 5. A valve control system for a power system comprising: a spool configured to move in a longitudinal direction so as to regulate at least one of a flow and a pressure through a port;an attachment concentrically attached to the spool;a rod having a first end and a second end, the first end being disposed within a clearance of the attachment so as to allow the attachment to move with the spool, during ordinary operation of the power system, without contacting the rod; anda lever connected to the second end of the rod and configured to activate a manual override of a position of the spool by moving the rod in a longitudinal direction such that the first end of the rod makes contact with the attachment to move the spool;a housing configured to attach to a mount of the power system in the longitudinal direction below the spool, the housing including a plug end; anda spring disposed on the plug end within the housing and a stop collar disposed over the spring, wherein the rod extends through the housing, the stop collar, the spring and the plug end, and wherein the rod includes an enlarged diameter section at the first end which abuts the stop collar during the ordinary operation of the power system. 6. The valve control system according to claim 5, wherein the attachment includes a cutaway receptacle having a lip and a sidewall and the first end of the rod includes an extension. 7. The valve control system according to claim 6, wherein the extension is disposed along the sidewall between the sidewall and the spool such that the clearance includes a length of the sidewall. 8. The valve control system according to claim 5, wherein a spring force of the spring is greater than a pressure of the power system used to move the spool during the ordinary operation of the power system. 9. The valve control system according to claim 5, wherein the valve control system includes a twin valve arrangement having two spools, each having the attachment and regulating separate ports, and two rods which attach to the lever on opposite sides of a fulcrum. 10. The valve control system according to claim 5, wherein the power system is a hydraulic power system and the port is at least one of a pressure port, a fuel port and a service port. 11. A method of assembling a manual override device to a body of a power system, comprising: connecting an attachment to a spool which moves in a longitudinal direction during ordinary operation of the power system so as to regulate at least one of a flow and a pressure through a port;inserting a first end of a rod into a clearance of the attachment so as to be substantially concentric therewith and so that the clearance of the attachment allows the attachment to move with the spool, during the ordinary operation of the power system, without contacting the rod;connecting a housing including a plug end, a spring disposed on the plug end and a stop collar disposed on the spring to a mount of the power system such that an enlarged diameter section of the rod at the first end abuts the stop collar; andconnecting a lever to a second end of the rod such that the rod is movable in the longitudinal direction when the lever is moved in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction so as to activate a manual override of a position of the spool by moving the rod in the longitudinal direction such that the first end of the rod makes contact with the attachment to move the spool. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the attachment includes a cutaway receptacle having a lip and a sidewall and the first end of the rod includes an extension. 13. The valve control system according to claim 12, wherein the rod is inserted into the clearance by inserting the extension along the sidewall between the sidewall and the spool.
