PILOT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - OVERVIEW
• Overview of the pilot hydraulic The 374F and 390F pilot hydraulic systems consist of six major components, which
system: include:
• Gear-type Pilot Oil Pump (1)
-- Six basic components • Pilot Oil Filter (5)
-- Eight distinct pilot oil circuits • Pilot Manifold (10)
• Pilot Accumulator (12)
-- Brief, high-level description • Pilot Solenoid Manifold (3)
of how pilot oil is used by the
• Hydraulic Lockout Lever assembly (in the cab).
basic components in the pilot
oil circuits
The pilot manifold and the pilot solenoid manifold contain a number of
sub-components that will be discussed in greater detail in this module.
The pilot hydraulic system delivers pilot pressure oil to eight major components
and/or circuits for the following functions:
• Pilot oil is directed to the main hydraulic pump regulators for pump flow control.
• The Negative Flow Control (NFC) Proportional Reducing Valves (PRVs)
and the Power Shift PRV (PSPRV) use pilot oil to control the main hydraulic
pumps.
• The lift control solenoid valve uses pilot oil to increase the main relief
pressures in the Adaptive Control System (ACS) Main Hydraulic Control
Valve (9) on the 374F only. (The 390F does not use the Lift Mode strategy.)

• The two-speed travel solenoid valve uses pilot oil to operate the travel speed
change valves in the travel motors in order to activate the high-speed mode.
• Pilot oil is directed to five places on the ACS main hydraulic control valve for
operation of the high pressure valve spools that control boom, stick, bucket,
swing, and travel functions. This oil is also used to operate the bypass cut
valves and the flow combiner valve.
• Pilot oil flows to the Swing Brake Solenoid (6) for operation of the swing
parking brakes.
• Pilot oil is sent to the Travel Pilot Control Valves (8) for operation of the travel
controls.
• Pilot oil is delivered to the Hydraulic Cooling Fan Reversing Valve (11) for
operation of the reversing fan.
The pilot oil pump is driven by a through-drive connection from the hydraulic
cooling fan pump, which is driven by a gear in the engine flywheel housing.
The pilot oil pump draws oil from the Hydraulic Oil Tank (7), via the Main Hydraulic
Oil Suction Tube (4) and the Pilot Pump Oil Suction Hose (2). Pilot oil pump
discharge provides oil flow to the pilot manifold, via the pilot oil filter. The pilot
manifold contains the pilot relief valve, which sets the pilot oil pressure. The pilot
manifold then distributes pilot pressure oil to the main hydraulic control valve, the
travel pilot control valves, the swing brake solenoid, and the fan reversing valve.
At the same time, pilot oil is delivered to the pilot solenoid manifold. The pilot
solenoid manifold contains two ON/OFF solenoid valves:
• two-speed travel solenoid valve
• lift control solenoid valve
The pilot solenoid manifold also contains three proportional solenoid valves for
controlling the main hydraulic pumps output:
• Front pump (Pump 1) NFC PRV
• Rear pump (Pump 2) NFC PRV
• PSPRV
The two-speed travel solenoid valve supplies pilot pressure oil to the travel motors
for operation of both the left and the right travel speed change valves.
The lift control solenoid valve sends pilot pressure oil to the two main hydraulic
relief valves on the ACS main hydraulic control valve for increasing the relief
pressure when the lift mode is active (374F only).
The main hydraulic pumps are electro-hydraulically controlled by the two
NFC PRVs, which use full pilot pressure oil to keep the main hydraulic pumps
DESTROKED. As flow demands increase during machine operation, the
Machine ECM controls the NFC PRVs to create an artificial NFC signal to the main
hydraulic pump regulators to control pump flow rates.
The PSPRV provides oil to the main hydraulic pump regulators for maintaining a
balance between the main pump pressures and the optimum load on the engine.
Pilot pressure oil is also supplied directly to both main hydraulic pump regulators
from the pilot pump to control oil flow from both main hydraulic pumps.
NOTE: The image above is that of a 390F Hydraulic Excavator.

Component locations are nearly the same for the 374F, with the exception
of the pilot oil filter, which is located in the pump compartment on the 374F.

• Hydraulic lockout lever - The hydraulic lockout (activation) lever (1) is located outside the left console and
explanation of components and beneath the front of the left armrest in the operator compartment. The hydraulic
functionality: activation crossbar (3) is mechanically operated by the hydraulic lockout lever.
-- Hydraulic lockout (activation) The position of the hydraulic activation crossbar indicates the position of the
lever (1) hydraulic lockout lever. The hydraulic lockout lever and crossbar are shown
in the LOCKED position in the top photo. The engine will not start unless the
-- Limit switch (behind gray hydraulic lockout lever is in this LOCKED position. Implement operation (boom,

be DISABLED in the LOCKED position. However, pilot oil is still delivered to the
-- Hydraulic activation fan reversing valve and the bypass cut solenoid valves in the ACS main hydraulic
crossbar (3) control valve.
Moving the hydraulic lockout lever FORWARD will raise the crossbar UP to the
horizontal, or UNLOCKED position, as shown in the bottom photo. When the
hydraulic lockout lever and crossbar are moved to the UNLOCKED position, a
limit switch beneath the gray housing (2) is CLOSED. When the limit switch is
CLOSED, the hydraulic lockout solenoid is ENERGIZED, via a relay, making pilot
pressure oil available to the pilot operated travel controls and the main hydraulic
control valve. Implement and travel operation is then ENABLED.
Operation of the hydraulic lockout lever, crossbar, and limit switch will be discussed
further in this module.

Pilot Oil Pump
• Pilot oil pump and related The pilot oil pump (1) is located in the pump compartment, at the right rear of the
components identification machine. The pilot oil pump is a gear-type, fixed displacement hydraulic oil pump
with brief descriptions of each that provides oil flow to the pilot hydraulic system. The pilot oil pump is driven by a
component: mechanical “through-drive” connection to the hydraulic cooling fan pump (4). The
pump delivery rate at full load rpm is approximately 85 L/min (22.5 US gpm).

If the straight travel pedal is operated, the travel pilot logic valve also ensures
both left and right travel control pressures for FORWARD or REVERSE travel are
delivered equally to both the left and right travel control valve spools at the same
time.
The left travel control pressure sensor (2), right travel control pressure sensor (5),
and the straight travel control pressure sensor (6) are monitored by the Machine
ECM to determine the amount of travel requested. The signal from these sensors
are used by the Machine ECM as inputs, in conjunction with the input signals from
other hydraulic circuits to determine pump flow rates.
When any of the three travel pressure sensors send signals to the Machine ECM,
the travel alarm is activated. The Machine ECM also uses the signal from these
sensors to activate or de-activate other hydraulic and machine strategies, such as
Automatic Engine Control (AEC).
If the machine is equipped with an electronic attachment pedal, it is also accessible

through this service access opening. (The electronic attachment pedal is not part
of the pilot hydraulic system.)

explanation
The pilot oil flows from the Pilot Pump (5) to the inlet port in the Filter Base (7).
If the pilot oil is cold or if the flow of pilot oil through the filter media is restricted
by contaminants (clogged filter), the Filter Bypass Valve (2) will open. When
the pressure differential between the filter inlet and the filter outlet exceeds
approximately 147 kPa (21 psi), the filter bypass valve will open, allowing
non-filtered oil to be delivered to the pilot manifold. The filter bypass valve protects
the pilot oil filter from pressure spikes in the system and also lets oil flow around
the filter when the oil is cold and less viscous.
The hydraulic oil S•O•S Port (3) is installed in the pilot oil filter base, ahead of the
filter. This allows the technician to take a sample of the hydraulic oil before the
oil is filtered and is a true sampling of the oil in the system. A port for testing Pilot
Pressure (4) is also installed in the filter base, after the oil is filtered.
NOTE: There is no pilot filter bypass switch, so the operator will not be
warned if the filter is clogged and being bypassed. If the filter element
becomes restricted by contaminants, the oil bypasses the filter element
through the bypass relief valve.

related components - operation With the hydraulic lockout lever shifted (back) to the LOCKED position, the
explanation hydraulic lockout solenoid valve is DE-ENERGIZED.
The Limit Switch (2) is an input component that is monitored by the Machine ECM.
When the switch is CLOSED, the signal from the limit switch to the Machine ECM
is shared with the Engine ECM through the Cat Data Link. The engine will not start
unless the hydraulic lockout lever is in the LOCKED position (as shown above).
The limit switch is mounted to the hydraulic lockout Lever Base (5). When the
hydraulic lockout lever is in the LOCKED position, the Plunger (3) is not depressed.
In this position, the limit switch is not closed and the circuit is OPEN. With the
switch in the OPEN condition, the hydraulic lockout solenoid is DE-ENERGIZED,
blocking pilot oil flow to the hydraulic activation valve. This condition will prevent
any implements or travel functions to operate.
When the hydraulic lockout lever is moved FORWARD to the UNLOCKED

Position (6), the plunger will contact and CLOSE the limit switch. When the limit
switch is CLOSED, it completes the connection to the battery, via a relay, and the
hydraulic lockout solenoid is ENERGIZED, allowing pilot oil flow to the hydraulic
activation valve. This condition makes pilot oil available for the operation of the
implements, travel, and swing functions. The Machine ECM then shares the state
of the limit switch with the Engine ECM, which will prevent the engine from starting.

The Hydraulic Activation Crossbar (4) is a visual indicator of the machine’s

hydraulic lockout status for the operator and the service technician. When the
hydraulic lockout lever is moved REARWARD to the LOCKED position, the
hydraulic activation crossbar moves to the LOWERED position (as shown). When
the hydraulic lockout lever is moved FORWARD to the UNLOCKED position, the
hydraulic activation crossbar is in the RAISED (horizontal) position, as shown
earlier in this module.

With the engine OFF and the key switch set to ON, the implements may be lowered
using the joysticks if the hydraulic lockout lever is moved to the UNLOCKED
position. These actions will ENERGIZE the hydraulic lockout solenoid valve,
allowing pilot pressure oil from the accumulator to supply the implement
proportional solenoid valves until the accumulator pressure is dissipated.
The Pilot Relief Valve (6) is installed in the pilot manifold and sets the pilot oil
pressure to approximately 4120 kPa (598 psi). This is the pressure in the entire
pilot hydraulic system, from the Pilot Oil Pump (1) to all components in the system.
Prior to the hydraulic activation valve, pilot pressure oil is distributed To the Fan
Reversing Valve (15) and to the Bypass Cut Valves (16) in the ACS valve. This
strategy ensures that bypass cut valves and the reversing fan can operate without
the implements being UNLOCKED.

When the pilot system is in the UNLOCKED condition, operation of all implements,
attachments, and the travel system will be ENABLED.
The Pilot Accumulator (10) is charged to pilot system pressure when the
implements are ENABLED. The pilot accumulator will provide supplemental pilot
pressure oil to the pilot system when the pilot pump is unable to provide adequate
oil flow. Insufficient supply of pilot oil flow to the pilot system could be caused by
combined implement operations (such as boom, stick, bucket, and swing operation
all at the same time).
As with all hydraulic systems, when the implement and travel solenoid valves are
operated, a small amount of oil is displaced into the pilot drain system.
Drain oil returns to the pilot manifold from the following circuits:
• ACS Valve Lower IMV Sections (11) (boom and bucket)
• Bypass Cut Valves (12)
• ACS Valve Upper IMV Sections (13) (stick and auxiliary)
• ACS Valve Center Section (19) (left/right travel and combiner valves)
This drain oil is returned to the pilot manifold through three drain ports. All the drain
oil, plus that of the hydraulic activation valve and the hydraulic lockout solenoid
valve, combines inside the manifold and is returned to the hydraulic oil tank.

Hydraulic Activation Valve Operation
• Explanation of the hydraulic The illustration above shows the two conditions of the hydraulic activation valve,
activation valve operation which is installed in the Pilot Manifold (1). When the valve is in the LOCKED
condition, implement operation (boom, stick, bucket, attachments, swing, and travel
functions) is DISABLED. When the valve is in the UNLOCKED condition,
implement operation is ENABLED.
The LOCKED condition is shown on the left. Pilot pressure oil from the pilot pump
is introduced to the hydraulic activation valve through the Pilot Oil Inlet (4). When
the Valve Spool (2) is shifted UP by the Spring (7), pilot pressure oil is blocked by
the two lands of the valve spool that are immediately above and below the pilot oil
inlet (chamber).
At the same time, the Pilot Oil Outlet (5) to the pilot distribution block and the travel
pilot control valves is connected to the large Drain Passage (6) through the Drain
Slots (8) that are machined into the lower land of the valve spool. Any residual
pilot pressure oil to the pilot distribution block and the travel pilot control valves is
also drained and no pilot oil is available for implement or travel operation. In this
condition, implement and travel operation is DISABLED.
When the operator moves the hydraulic lockout lever (in the operator compartment)
FORWARD to the UNLOCKED position, the hydraulic lockout solenoid valve in the
pilot manifold is ENERGIZED by the Machine ECM.

When the hydraulic lockout solenoid valve is ENERGIZED, pilot pressure oil (signal
oil) is sent through the Signal Oil Inlet (3), pressurizing the chamber above the
valve spool.
Pressurizing this upper chamber shifts the valve spool DOWN against the return
spring. When the spool moves DOWN, the pilot oil inlet is connected to the pilot oil
outlet (to the pilot distribution block and the travel pilot control valves). At the same
time, the drain slots on the lower land of the valve spool are no longer open to the
pilot oil inlet. This position allows pilot pressure oil to flow through the pilot oil outlet
to the pilot distribution block and the travel pilot control valves. Implement and
travel operations are ENABLED.
NOTE: The round dashed lines in the above illustration indicate pilot oil
passages through the manifold and are completely or partially hidden
behind the valve spool in the section view. There are no cross drilled
passages through the valve spool.

manifold Valve (3) and the Pilot Relief Valve (4).
The pilot relief valve limits the pilot pressure in the pilot system. When the
• Explanation of the operation of pressure in the pilot system reaches the pressure setting of the pilot relief valve,
the accumulator check valve in the valve spool moves DOWN against the Spring (9) until the cross-drilled
the pilot manifold Passage (10) in the spool begins venting pilot oil into the Drain Passage To
Tank (6).
Turning the adjustment Screw (8) IN increases the tension of the spring beneath
the valve spool, raising the pilot oil pressure. Turning the adjustment screw OUT
decreases the spring tension and lowers the pilot oil pressure in the system.
The Distribution Passage (7) runs horizontally through the pilot manifold and directs
pilot oil to the accumulator check valve. When the pressure of the oil (set by the
relief valve) becomes greater than the tension of the Spring (11) above the check
valve, the check valve opens. When the check valve opens, pilot pressure oil flows
through the passage To the Accumulator (5), charging the accumulator with pilot
pressure oil. When the machine is shut down and pilot oil flow from the pilot pump
ceases, the accumulator check valve is closed by its spring and the accumulator
will store the pilot pressure for a short time.
Several other passages branch off the main distribution passage, further
distributing pilot oil for use in other circuits. Some of the passages are downstream
from the accumulator check valve, allowing the pilot pressure in the accumulator to
be used for lowering implements.

Travel Pilot Control Valve Operation
• Explanation of the operation of The travel pilot control valves operate similarly to those found in the E-Series

and the travel control pressure and spools. The illustration above and following explanation are representative of

affected by these inputs to the
Machine ECM A dampening function is built into the travel pilot control valve, which allows the
operational speed of the travel lever/pedal to respond only to the operator’s
intended movements. The dampening function prevents vibration or harshness
when releasing the travel pedal. When the travel lever/pedal is moved suddenly
from the NEUTRAL position, the Rod (2) is pushed downward. The rod moves the
Dampening Piston (3) downward.
The hydraulic oil below the dampening piston becomes pressurized. An Orificed
Check Valve (11) initially allows the trapped hydraulic oil below the dampening
piston to gradually flow into the spring chamber below the check ball, until the ball
becomes seated. The spring chamber is open to the Tank (10). An orifice in the
top of the dampening piston allows oil to slowly flow into the chamber above the
piston. The gradual flow of oil through the orifice in the dampening piston provides
the dampening effect.

As the pedal is moved forward, it contacts the rod, pushing it downward. The rod
moves the Spool (9) downward, allowing Pilot Supply Oil (8) to flow through the
center passage of the spool into the port to the Travel Valve Spool (6) (in the main
hydraulic control valve). The further the pedal is depressed, the further the spool
moves downward and proportionally increased pilot oil pressure is sent to the travel
control valve spool. The further the travel control valve spool is moved, the more
high pressure oil flow is sent to the travel motor for increasingly faster rotation of
the motor.
The Metering Spring (4) and the Return Spring (5) are compressed as the spool
moves downward. The increased pilot oil pressure beneath the spool and the
increased spring tensions modulate the spool to a balanced position in order to
maintain a precise constant pilot control pressure in the pilot line to the travel
control valve spool. This action will help maintain the travel control valve spool
position in the main hydraulic control valve until the travel pedal/lever is moved
again.
The orificed check valve operates similarly when the travel pedal is returned to the
NEUTRAL position. The oil above the dampening piston flows into a drain passage
(not visible in the view above) as the piston is returned upward by the force of the
springs. The orificed check valve slows the flow of tank oil from the return spring
chamber into the dampening chamber, which prevents the spool from moving up
too quickly. Rapid return movement of the spool would cause the machine to make
a harsh stop. The dampening chamber and orificed check valve prevent this harsh
stop condition.
Also shown are the Left Travel Control Pressure Sensor (14) and the Right Travel
Control Pressure Sensor (15). These pressure sensors inform the Machine ECM
of the pilot control pressure oil from the Resolver (13) that is directed to the travel
valve spools. The signals from these sensors are used by the Machine ECM, in
conjunction with the signals from other control sensors and system and circuit
pressure sensors, to control the flow rates from main hydraulic pumps, based on
overall need.
When either of these sensors indicate travel control pressure, the electrical signal
sent to the Machine ECM activates the travel alarm. When both travel control
pressure sensors indicate a travel request, and if any implement joystick position
sensors indicate implement movement, the Machine ECM will ENERGIZE the
straight travel solenoid valve. This allows pilot pressure oil from the pilot manifold
to flow to and activate the straight travel valve (in the main hydraulic control valve).
The Machine ECM also uses the signal from the travel pressure sensors to activate
or de-activate other hydraulic and machine strategies, such as Automatic Engine
Control (AEC). The straight travel control pressure sensor installed in the straight
travel pedal (if equipped) performs the same function as the left and right travel
control pressure sensors.
