X9 500 side cover

Hi all,
Can somebody help me I have replaced the stator  but there is a spring and collect about 4" away from the stator,  I have looked into see what this does but can't find out?
Does anybody know if it needs to be put back or can it be left off?

It's the oil pressure relief valve. Get this right onassembly or you won't have any oil pressure!
The main oil gallery from the pump to the filter runs around the front edge of the cover (near the filter) and the excess pressure valve is part of this channel.
