(3) Blade cushion switch

The blade cushion dampens the shocks that are made in the blade lift hydraulic circuit when the
blade contacts an object that will not move. Blade cushion accumulators (1) have a nitrogen
precharge pressure that provides the cushion.

The blade cushion is activated by blade cushion switch (3) on the right side of the operator on the
shift console. Blade cushion switch (3) energizes the solenoids which control the check valves for
the blade cushion. A manifold is located at the base of blade cushion accumulators (1) . Each
manifold contains an oil passage to the corresponding blade cushion accumulator (1) . Solenoid
operated valves (2) are mounted to the manifolds. Solenoid operated valves (2) regulate the flow of
oil to blade cushion accumulators (1) .

(AA) Hydraulic line to implement control valve

With blade cushion switch (3) in the OFF position, the solenoids are de-energized. Oil pressure from
the lines cannot pass through the manifolds in order to enter blade cushion accumulators (1) . The
cartridge assemblies in the manifolds contain one-way check valves. This allows oil into the head of
the blade lift cylinders. The one-way check valves prevent oil from flowing back into blade cushion
accumulators (1) .

(AA) Hydraulic line to implement control valve

With blade cushion switch (3) in the ON position, the solenoids are energized. The cartridge
assemblies are pulled back out of the manifolds. There is now an open passage from the hydraulic
circuit to blade cushion accumulators (1) .

When a shock occurs, oil pressure flows through the lines and the manifolds into blade cushion
accumulators (1) . Accumulators (1) cushion the force of the pressure oil in the hydraulic circuit.

Once the shock has passed, pressure oil from blade cushion accumulators (1) re-enters the hydraulic
circuit. Oil flows back into the head end of the blade lift cylinders. This allows the blade to return to
the original position.
