the other section of the combination valve. 10. Strainer. 11. Line from the metering pump and valve for steering. 12. Passage
from pressure reduction valve and relief valve. 13. Line from the swivel. 14. Line from the drive motor for the circle. 15.
Line from the control valves. 16. Variable displacement pump. 17. Pump for oil to the oil cooler.

The hydraulic system is a closed center system. In a closed center system, the oil from the variable
displacement pump (16), has pressure at each valve in the hydraulic system when the vehicle engine is
running.

The drive shaft for pump (16) goes through the pump to the drive shaft for pump (11). When the vehicle
engine is running, both pumps are operating. Pump (16) gets oil through a line from tank (1). Lines (8,
13, 14 and 15) are for oil leakage from the valves in the hydraulic system. The oil leakage is from high
pressure oil and is a source of heat. The oil from lines (8), (13), (14) and (15) and a line from the tank
goes through a manifold and to pump (17). Pump (17) moves this oil through oil cooler (5) and to filter
(2) in tank (1). The oil from filter (2) goes through a manifold and through strainer (10) and then into
tank (1). The oil from the hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motor goes through filter (7), strainer (10)
and into the tank.

HYDRAULIC PUMPS
4. Line from pump to combination valve. 16. Variable displacement pump. 17. Pump for oil to the cooler.

MANIFOLD FOR TANK


2. Filter (element). 7. Filter (element). 10. Strainer.

Each filter (2) and (7) has a bypass valve. If the filter element is full of dirt and oil can not go through
the element, the pressure of the oil gets an increase which opens the bypass valve. The oil through the
bypass valve goes through strainer (10) and into tank (1). Each filter has an indicator that shows when
the filter element is dirty.

Bypass valve (6) is for cooler (5). The bypass valve opens when the pressure of the oil from pump (17)

is more than the pressure setting of the bypass valve. Dirt in oil passages in cooler (5) will cause an
increase in the pressure of the oil from pump (17). The oil in the hydraulic system can get too much heat
if the oil from pump (17) goes through the open bypass valve (6) and not through cooler (5).

Pump (16) gets oil through a large line from tank (1). The oil from pump (16) goes through line (4) to
unloading valve (3). The unloading valve is part of the combination valve. Line (4) goes to the
combination valve on machines that do not have an unloading valve. The pump oil in the combination
valve goes to all of the control valves in the hydraulic system.

Variable Displacement Pump


The variable displacement pump is an axial piston pump. The change in the output (displacement) is
automatic. The length of the stroke for the pistons is the control for the output (displacement) of the
pump. With a decrease in the length of the stroke for the pistons, the output of the pump is less. The
movement of a swashplate in the pump is the control for the length of the stroke for the pistons. A spring
on a valve in the pump keeps the swashplate at the maximum angle (maximum length of the stroke for
the pistons) when the engine is stopped. When the engine is running, oil at the outlet pressure of the
pump is in the valve against the spring. When there is an increase in the pressure of the oil from the
pump outlet, the force of the oil pressure in the valve against the spring is more and the spring gets
compression (shorter length). As the spring length gets shorter, the swashplate moves toward minimum
angle and the output (displacement) of the pump is less.

The pump has two pressure settings. The load on the hydraulic components causes the pressure setting
of the pump to change. An oil line from the oil circuits to the components connects to a valve in the
pump. The pump operates at the low setting until more oil pressure is needed for the component to move
the load. When the pressure of the oil to the component and in the line to the valve in the pump gets an
increase, the valve in the pump moves and the spring, which controls the angle of the swashplate, gets
more force. When the spring has more force, the length of the stroke for the pistons gets an increase and
the pump operates at the high setting. The pump goes to the low setting when the pressure of the oil to
the component gets a decrease.

VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMP


1. Impeller. 2. Head Assembly. 3. Piston (nine). 4. Thrust plate. 5. Pump body. 6. Barrel assembly. 7. Swashplate. 8. Drive
shaft.

The pump is driven by the engine crankshaft and the pump turns at the same speed as the engine. Barrel
assembly (6) and the nine pistons (3) turn when drive shaft (8) turns. The impeller (1), in head assembly
(2), also turns when the drive shaft turns. When the pump shaft is turning, the impeller makes an
increase in the pressure of the oil from the tank. The oil from the impeller goes through a long inlet
opening in the port plate and into barrel assembly (6) when pistons (3), are at the bottom of their strokes.

PORT PLATE

As the shaft, barrel assembly and pistons turn, thrust plate (4) moves the pistons to the top of their
strokes and the pistons push the oil through the outlet holes in the port plate and into the hydraulic
system. The ball sockets on the ends of pistons (3) slide on thrust plate (4). The thrust plate is on
swashplate (7).

TYPICAL BARREL AND PISTONS


3. Piston (nine). 4. Thrust plate. 6. Barrel assembly.

The angle of swashplate (7) changes the displacement of pistons (3) (changes the stroke of the pistons).
The longest stroke of the pistons is when the angle of the swashplate is approximately 14°. The shortest
stroke of the pistons is when the angle of the swashplate is near 0°.

The angle of swashplate (7) can be adjusted. Loosen the locknut and turn screw (10) out to increase the
maximum angle for swashplate (7). On some pumps shims must be added to the shims under a bolt head
to increase the angle of the swashplate. Shims under the head of bolt (14) are used to keep the angle of
the swashplate from going to 0°. If the swashplate is at 0° there is no stroke for pistons (3). If the pistons
do not have some stroke there is no oil to lubricate and cool the pump. Remove shims, under the head of
bolt (14), to get more angle to the swashplate.

SWASHPLATE
3. Piston (nine). 6. Barrel assembly. 7. Swashplate.

The actions of servo valve (9) and pressure reduction valve (13) control the stroke of pistons (3) by
moving swashplate (7) when either more or less pump oil is needed by the components in the hydraulic
system.

The low pressure setting of the pump is approximately 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2). The pump operates
with this pressure at all of the control valves in the hydraulic system when the engine is running and
when the control valves are not being used. When a control valve is used, the pressure of the oil in the
circuit to the component is also in line (12) to shuttle valve (11). When there is an increase in the load
on the component, the pressure of the oil in this circuit gets an increase. When the pressure of the oil in
the circuit gets to 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2) the pressure of the oil in line (12) moves shuttle valve (11).
When the shuttle valve is moved, the pressure of the oil from the pump into the hydraulic circuit can go
as high as 3500 psi (246.1 kg/cm2).

Servo Valve, Pressure Reduction Valve and Shuttle Valve


The actions of the servo valve and the pressure reduction valve change the angle of swashplate (15). The
change in the angle of the swashplate changes the stroke of the pistons. When the stroke of the pistons
change, the gpm (lit/min) output of oil from the pump changes.

When the engine is not running, the swashplate is at the maximum angle. The swashplate can be at the
maximum angle when the engine is running and two components in the hydraulic system are being
operated together. The pistons, in the barrel assembly of the pump, have their longest stroke when the
swashplate is at its maximum angle.

Oil at the output pressure of the pump goes into cartridge (11) through passage (9), around valve spool
(1) and goes through passages in sleeve (2) and cartridge (11) into chamber (3). The oil in chamber (3)
keeps piston assembly (4) at its extension. Piston assembly (4) and link (12) keep swashplate (15) at its
maximum angle.

Oil at the outlet pressure of the pump also goes into the pressure reduction valve through passage (21)
and goes through orifice (20). The orifice makes a reduction in the pressure of the oil that goes through
passage (6) in cartridge for servo valve (11). The force of the oil through passage (6) and on the larger
surface of valve spool (1) is the same as the force spring (14) has on the valve spool.

When there is an increase in the pressure of the output oil from the pump, there is also an increase in the
pressure of the oil through passage (9) and passage (6).

The increase of the pressure of the oil through passage (6) and on valve spool (1) is now more than the
force of spring (14) and valve spool (1) moves. The oil in passage (9) is now stopped by the valve spool.
The position of valve spool (1) can now let the oil in chamber (3) go through passages in cartridge (11),
sleeve (2) and through grooves (8) to the hole and passage (7) to the case.

The oil at pump output pressure is also through passage (21) into pressure reduction valve (19). When
the oil in chamber (3) can go to the case, there is no force on piston assembly (4) and the pressure of the
oil through passage (21) moves piston (22). The piston moves link (23) and swashplate (15).

outlet pressure. 22. Piston. 23. Link.

Swashplate (15) moves link (12) and piston assembly (4). Piston assembly (4) pushes the oil from
chamber (3) through hole and passage (7) in valve spool (1). The swashplate stops moving piston
assembly (4) when the piston assembly moves sleeve (2) to a position where the pump output pressure
oil in passage (9) can go around valve spool (1), through the passages in sleeve (2) and cartridge (11)
into chamber (3). When the oil at pump output pressure is in chamber (3) on piston assembly (4) and is
in pressure reduction valve (19) on piston (22), the swashplate cannot move. The angle of swashplate
(15) is now less than when the pistons, in the barrel of the pump, were at the longest stroke.

When there is a decrease in the output pressure from the pump because the load on the component in the
hydraulic system which is being used is less, the pressure of the oil in passage (9) and in passage (6) is
less. The force of the pressure oil from passage (6), on valve spool (1), is now less than the force of
spring (14). Spring (14) now moves valve spool (1), piston assembly (4), link (12) and swashplate (15).
There is now an increase in the angle of the swashplate and the pistons in the barrel of the pump get
longer strokes.

When the load on the component in the hydraulic system being used gets to 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2), the
pressure in line (17) is also at 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2) and the pressure of the oil moves shuttle valve
(16). When the shuttle valve is moved, the oil from pressure reduction valve (19) goes through line (18),
around the end of shuttle valve (16) and into the chamber for piston (13). The force of the oil on piston
(13) adds to the force spring (14) has on valve spool (1). With the increase of force on valve spool (1),
the output pressure of the oil from the pump can go to 3500 psi (246.1 kg/cm2). The actions of the servo
valve and the pressure reduction valve are the same as when the output pressure of the oil from the
pump was below 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2). When the pressure of the oil in line (17) is less than 1800 psi

(126.5 kg/cm2), or there is no oil pressure in line (17) when the components in the hydraulic system are
not being used, the output pressure of the oil from the pump is at approximately 2150 psi (131.1
kg/cm2).

Add to the shims on spring (14) if the output pressure of the oil from the pump is below 2150 psi (151.1
kg/cm2). Add to the shims on the spring in shuttle valve (16) if the shuttle valve moves when the
pressure of the oil in the hydraulic system to a component is below 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2).

10. Passage for oil from the case. 11. Cartridge for servo valve.

Combination Valve
The oil from the variable displacement pump goes through the combination valve when the engine is
running. The pump oil from the combination valve goes to the two control valves for the implements
and to the metering valve for the steering. A relief valve for the oil circuits to the control valves for the
implements and a valve that makes a reduction in the pressure of the oil from the pump to the steering
system are parts of the combination valve. Some machines also have an unloading valve as part of the
combination valve.

Unloading Valve
The oil from the pump goes through line (2), around valve spool (4) and through opening (3) to the other
part of the combination valve and to the hydraulic system.

UNLOADING VALVE (Part of combination valve)


1. Control lever UNLOAD position. 2. Line from pump. 3. Opening to other part of combination valve. 4. Valve spool. 5.
Line to tank. 6. Opening from other part of combination valve.

The pistons, in the variable displacement pump, are at their longest stroke as the engine is started.
Because of the closed hydraulic system and the pump at high output gpm (lit/min), there is an added
load on the starter being used to start the engine. When the outside temperature is low the movement of
the oil in the hydraulic system is slow and the pump would put more load on the starter when it is
starting the engine. The unloading valve can remove most of the hydraulic load when the engine is being
started. When the control lever is held in UNLOAD position (1), valve spool (4) is moved to let the
pump oil through line (2) go along the groove on valve spool (4) and go through line (5) to the tank.

Relief Valve and Pressure Reduction Valve


The relief valve and the valve for the reduction of oil pressure for the steering system are in the same
valve housing. The relief valve is in the circuit from the pump. The pressure reduction valve is in the
same circuit as the relief valve except that the oil through this valve goes to the steering system. The
pump oil through the valve to the controls for the implements can be as high as the setting of the relief
valve. The setting of the relief valve is approximately 3900 psi (274.2 kg/cm2). The oil, through pressure
reduction valve to the steering system has a setting of approximately 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2).

The pump oil in passage (1) goes through the orifice in dump valve (9) and into the chamber for spring
(11). The pressure of the oil and spring (11) keeps dump valve (9) closed. The oil in the spring chamber
is against pilot valve (12) which is held closed by spring (13). If the pressure of the oil gets to
approximately 3900 psi (274.2 kg/cm2) the oil in the chamber for spring (11) opens pilot valve (12) and
this oil goes into passage (6). With only the force of spring (11) on dump valve (9) the pump oil in
passage (1) opens dump valve (9) and goes into passage (6) to the tank. The relief valve prevents the
pressure of the oil, between the pump and the implements, from going higher than the setting of the
relief valve.

The pump oil in passage (1) goes around piston (4), through check valve (5) and through line (8) to the
metering valve for the steering system. Piston (4) is held in an open position by springs (15). The oil to
check valve (5) also goes through passage (7) into a chamber in piston (4). When the pressure of the oil
in line (8) and in piston (4) is approximately 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2), the force of the oil is more than
the force of springs (15) and the piston moves to a position that stops the oil from passage (1) to line (8).
When the pressure of the oil in line (8) and the piston is less than 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2), spring (15)
moves the piston to let more oil go to line (8). When the pressure of the pump oil in passage (1) is more
than 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2), the action of springs (15) and the pressure of the oil in piston (4) keeps
the pressure of the oil to the steering system at 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2).

The pressure setting of the relief valve can be changed. Add to shims (14) for an increase or remove
shims for a decrease. Add to shims (10) for an increase in the regulation of the oil pressure to the
steering system. Remove shims (10) if the pressure of the oil to the steering system is more than 1800
psi (126.5 kg/cm2).

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR STEERING


1. Line to tank. 2. Metering valve for steering. 3. Line to rod end of right cylinder and to head end of left cylinder. 4. Line to
head end of right cylinder and rod end of left cylinder. 5. Passage for pump oil. 6. Combination valve relief and pressure

cylinders. 10. Passage for oil to tank. 11. Line to control valve for implements. 12. Line to control valve for implements. 13.
Steering cylinder on right side. 14. Steering cylinder on left side.

When the engine is running the oil from the pump goes through relief and pressure reduction valve (6),
through line (7) to metering valve (2) for the steering. The pressure of the oil in line (7) is approximately
1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2). The movement of the steering wheel operates the metering valve. When the
steering wheel is being turned in the direction of a right turn (clockwise), the oil from line (7) goes
through metering valve (2) and through line (3). The oil in line (3) goes to the rod end of cylinder (13)
and to the head end of cylinder (14) and the rods in the cylinders move. The cylinder rods move the
front wheels to positions that will let the machine make a right turn. The pistons on the cylinder rods
move the oil from the head end of cylinder (13) and from the rod end of cylinder (14) through line (4),
through metering valve (2) and through line (1) to the tank.

When the steering wheel is not being turned the oil in lines (3) and (4) and in cylinders (13) and (14) can
not move and the front wheels stay in position. If the side of one of the front wheels hits a restriction
(material that will not move), the positions of the front wheels will move. The force on the side of the
wheel causes an increase in the pressure of the oil in the cylinders and in one of the lines to the
cylinders. When the pressure of the oil in the line gets to 2500 psi (175.7 kg/cm2) relief valve (8) or (9)
opens. The high pressure oil in the line goes through the open relief valve and into the other line to the
cylinders. This lets the positions of the front wheels change.

When the engine is running, the pump keeps pressure oil of approximately 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2) in
inlet (5) of the metering valve. The pump oil does not go through the metering valve until the steering
wheel is turned.

The steering wheel is installed on shaft (1). Turn the steering wheel in the direction (clockwise) to make
a right turn and shaft (1) turns spool (2). After the spool turns a few degrees, flat springs (8), in the
spool, turn sleeve (3) and then the spool and the sleeve turn but, they turn a few degrees from being
together. The pin (9) in spool (2) turns drive (13) which turns pump gear (6) in pump gear (7). Pump
gear (7) does not turn.

When spool (2) moves before sleeve (3) is moved, the holes in the sleeve get in line with grooves in the
spool. The pump oil in inlet (5) goes through the holes in the sleeve into the grooves in the spool. The
oil in the grooves goes through other holes in the sleeve and through a passage in body (12). The oil
from the passage in the body goes into pump gears (6) and (7).

PUMP GEARS IN METERING VALVE


6. Pump gear. 7. Pump gear (internal). 9. Pin. 13. Drive.

As pump gear (6) is turned by drive (13), the oil is moved to another passage in body (12), through more
holes in the sleeve and other grooves in the spool and through opening (11) to the steering cylinders.
The oil from the cylinders goes through opening (10) passages in body (12), holes in sleeve (3), grooves
in spool (2) and through passages to outlet (4). The oil from outlet (4) goes to the tank.

When turning the steering wheel is stopped, most of the parts connected to shaft (1) also stop. Flat
springs (8) now move the sleeve a few degrees in the same direction that it was being turned. Now the
holes in the sleeve do not line up with the grooves in the spool and the flow of oil stops in inlet (5) of the
metering valve. When the steering wheel is not being turned, the oil cannot get in or get out of the
steering cylinders which keeps the wheels positioned for a right turn.

When the steering wheel is turned counterclockwise for a left turn, the method of the flow of oil through
the metering valve is like the description for the flow of oil for a right turn. For a left turn, the parts in
the metering valve and the flow of oil through the valve and though openings (10) and (11) are opposite
to when a right turn is made.

There is a relation between the rpm the steering wheel is turned and the time for the wheels to move to
the position to make the turn. To make a fast turn it is necessary to turn the steering wheel fast (more
rpm).

Steering the machine with the engine stopped can be done when the machine is moving. Much force is
needed to turn the steering wheel and the result is a slow turn.

Implement System
When the engine is running, the oil from the pump goes through relief and pressure reduction valve (1)
through lines (12) and (13) to the control valves for the implements. The pressure of the oil in lines (12)
and (13) can get as high as the pressure setting of the relief valve. When the control valves for the
implements are not being used the pressure of the oil in lines (12) and (13) is 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2).

When the engine is running and the implements are not being used, the pressure of the pump oil in lines
(12 and 13) to the implement valves is approximately 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2). The oil in lines (11),
(10) and (8) and in passage (7) is open to the tank and the pressure of the oil in these lines is the same as
the oil in the tank. Lock check valve (3) stops the oil in the lines between valve (3) and cylinder (4) and
the rod in the cylinder can not move. The pressure of the oil in line (14) is the same as the oil in lines
(11), (10) and (8) and in the tank.

IMPLEMENT CONTROLS
2. Implement valve to raise or lower the blade (right side). 10. Line from implement valve to rod end of cylinder. 15. Blade
lift lever.

When the blade lift lever (15), for the cylinder on the right side is held, in the LOWER position, the
pump oil in line (12) goes through implement valve (2), through line (10) and lock check valve (3) into
the head end of cylinder (4). The oil in the head end of cylinder (4) pushes the piston and rod out of the
cylinder which moves the blade down. The pump oil through implement valve (2) to line (10) also goes
into line (14) and the pressure of the oil in line (14) is the same as the pressure of the oil in line (10).
When more force is needed to lower the blade, there is an increase in the pressure of the pump oil to the
head end of cylinder (4). When the pressure of the pump oil goes to 1800 psi (126.5 kg/cm2), the oil in
line (14) moves the shuttle valve in the pump and the oil pressure from the pump can go to
approximately 3500 psi (246.1 kg/cm2).

Control Valve For Implements


Each of the control valves for the implements, on each side of the console for the control levers and
steering wheel, has four to six implement valves. The implement valves (1) are side by side and each
valve is approximately 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) thick. The passages for the pump oil in each implement valve
are together and the passages for the return oil from the implement are together. With the passages in the
valves together, only one line for the pump oil (2) and one line for the return oil (3) is needed for all of
the implement valves in a control valve.

CONTROL VALVE (RIGHT SIDE)


1. Implement valves (four). 2. Line for pump oil. 3. Line for return oil. 4. Oil line to shuttle valve in variable displacement

Implement Valve
The operation of each implement valve is the same. There is a difference in each implement valve. The
rate of oil flow (gpm, lit/min) from the outlets of each valve to the implement is not the same. The rate
of oil flow from each opening in an implement valve for a hydraulic cylinder is not the same. There are
implement valves that have approximately the same rate of oil flow from each opening. The size of the
orifices from valve spool (2) to openings (4) and (5) is one of the controls for the rate of flow. The other
control is the force of spring (14) against valve (9). The spring force is not the same in each implement
valve.

Resolver valve (7) lets the oil with the higher pressure in either the passage to opening (4) or the passage
to opening (5) go through the valve into passage (8). The higher pressure of the oil on the ball in valve
(7) closes the valve passage with oil that has low pressure.

Implement Valve in HOLD Position


The implement valve in HOLD position has pump oil at a pressure of approximately 2150 psi (151.1
kg/cm2) in the valve when the engine is running.

When the engine is started, the pump oil in passage (10) goes into passage (11) and then through the
holes in valve (9) to the chamber, for the valve, that has no spring. The pump oil in passage (11) is
stopped by valve spool (2) and there is an increase in the pressure of the oil from the pump. As the
pressure of the oil gets higher, the oil pushes valve (9) against the force of spring (14) until valve (9) is
moved to a position where not much pump oil can go around valve (9) into passage (11). There is a
small amount of oil leakage around valve spool (2) in HOLD position because of the high pressure of
the oil in passage (11).

The location of the implement valve puts the valve lower than the oil in the tank. Oil at tank pressure
through passages (3) and (6) is in all passages in the valve that does not have pump oil. Air cannot get
into the implement valve because of the oil in all of the passages in the valve.

Implement Valve in RAISE Position


When the implement control valve is in HOLD position, the pressure of the oil in passage (10) is
approximately 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2). Moving the control lever for the blade to the RAISE position
moves lever (1), which moves valve spool (2) to the RAISE position. When valve spool (2) is moved to
the RAISE position, pressure oil through passage (11) from passage (10) goes out through passage (4)
through the lock check valve to the rod end of the blade lift cylinders. The pressure of the oil in the rod
end of the cylinders is the same as the pressure in passage (10). At the same time, pressure oil goes
through resolver valve (7), passage (8) and into the chamber for spring (14). This pressure and the force
of spring (14) moves valve (9). As valve (9) moves it allows more oil to flow from passage (10) through
outlet (4) to the rod end of the cylinders. The oil flow from the pump to the rod end of the lift cylinders
is 10 U.S. gpm (37.8 liter/min).

When the spool in the implement valve is moved to the LOWER position, oil from passage (11) goes
through outlet (5), through a lock check valve into the head end of the lift cylinders. Since the orifice
between valve spool (2) and outlet (5) is larger than the orifice to outlet (4), the flow from the pump to
the head end of the cylinders is 15 U.S. gpm (56.8 liter/min). When the blade gets to the ground more oil
pressure is needed to move the blade down. When the increase in pump pressure gets to 1800 psi (126.5
kg/cm2) there is a change in the output of the pump and the oil to the lift cylinder becomes less than 10
U.S. gpm (37.8 liter/min).

When the pressure of the oil from outlet (5) to the lift cylinders gets to approximately 1800 psi (126.5
kg/cm2), the oil in the chamber for spring (14) opens check valve (12). The oil that goes through the
check valve and passage (13) goes to the shuttle valve in the pump and the shuttle valve moves. Now the
pressure of the pump oil to the head end of the lift cylinders can go as high as 3500 psi (246 kg/cm2).

When a cylinder rod is fully extended, the flow to the cylinder stops but the pressure of the pump oil in
the cylinder goes to 3500 psi (246 kg/cm2).

The control lever, lever (1) and valve spool (2) are the other way to control oil flow from the pump to
the implement. The shorter the distance the valve spool is moved from the HOLD position, the smaller
the amount of oil that goes through outlets (4) or (5) to the implement.

Lock Check Valve


There is a lock check valve between the implement valve and the hydraulic cylinders in each of the
implement circuits. The operation of each lock check valve is the same but, there are three types of lock
check valves. One of the types of lock check valves is in the circuits for the cylinders for the blade tip,
the cylinder for the leaning wheel, the cylinder for the side shift and, on some machines, the cylinder for
the ripper.

Lock check valves with outlet chokes are in the circuits for the cylinders for articulation, the cylinder for
centershift and for the lift cylinder on the right side. The lift cylinder on the left side has the only lock
check valve with a relief valve. The relief valve is in the passage in the valve for the line to the rod end
of the cylinder.

Line to rod end of cylinder. 9. Seats. 10. Line to head end of cylinder.

When the implement valve is in HOLD position, the oil in lines (8) and (10) is stopped and the rod in
the cylinder cannot move. The springs against balls (6) and (7) and the oil in lines (8) and (10) keep the
balls on seats (9). The oil in lines (1) and (3) is at tank pressure.

LOCK CHECK VALVE FOR CYLINDER ON RIGHT SIDE


1. Line to implement valve. 3. Line to implement valve. 8. Line to rod end of cylinder. 10. Line to head end of cylinder.

Moving the control lever for the blade lift on the right side to the LOWER position lets the pump oil
from the implement valve goes through line (3). The pump oil holds choke (5) away from the orifice in
the passage and the oil goes into the chamber in the seat. The pump oil in the seat moves piston (2)
against ball (6). Then the pressure of the pump oil in the seat moves the piston and ball (6) and ball (7)
off seats (9). The pump oil through line (3) now goes through the lock check valve and through line (10)
and into the head end of the lift cylinder. The oil in the cylinder moves the piston and rod (connected to
the blade) down. When the piston moves down it pushes the oil from the rod end of the cylinder,
through line (8), past ball (6) that is held off the seat, and moves choke (4) over the orifice in the passage
to line (1). The restriction to oil flow through choke (4) prevents gravity from moving the blade down
faster than the pump oil can push the blade down.

The lock check valves for the cylinders of the blade tip, the leaning wheel, the side shift and the ripper
do not have chokes (4) and (5). The operation of the balls and piston in these valves is the same as the
valves with the chokes.

The lock check valve for the lift cylinder on the left side has chokes and also a relief valve. The relief
valve (11) is in the passage to the oil line for the rod end of the cylinder. There is an increase in the
pressure of the oil in the rod end of the cylinder when a force pulls the rod. When the force pulling the
rod makes the oil pressure in the rod end of the cylinder go to approximately 4000 psi (281.2 kg/cm2),
the relief valve (11) opens. The rod is moved out of the cylinder until the force pulling on the rod is not
enough to keep relief valve (11) open. The operation of the balls and piston in this valve is the same as
the other lock check valves.

Blade Cushion Arrangement


The cushion arrangement for the blade is not on all machines. The use of the cushion arrangement is
controlled by an electric switch for a pilot valve. When the electric switch is ON, the nitrogen charge in
accumulators (3) makes a cushion for shocks from the blade when the blade goes against small pieces in
the ground that will not move.

1. Lock check and relief valve. 2. Lift cylinder (left side). 3. Accumulators. 4. Oil lines from control valve for the lift
cylinder. 5. Line for return oil. 6. Check valve for accumulators. 7. Pump oil from combination valve. 8. Oil lines to head

control valve for the lift cylinder. 13. Lock check valve. 14. Lift cylinder (right side).

The pump oil in line (7) is to pilot valve (10). Turn the electric switch for the blade cushion ON and the
oil from line (7) goes through the valve and through line (11) into check valve (6). The oil from the
pump in check valve (6) keeps the valves open and the pressure in accumulators (3) is in lines (8) to the
head ends of the lift cylinders.

Turn the electric switch OFF and the pump oil in line (7) stops at pilot valve (10). Now the pilot valve
lets the oil in check valve (6) go through lines (11) and (5) to the tank. With the oil in check valve (6) at
tank pressure, the check valves close and the pressure in the accumulators is not in lines (8). The lock
check valves now keep the rods from moving in the lift cylinders.

Pilot Valve with Solenoids


The pilot valve is electric and an OFF or ON switch, moved by the machine operator, puts the cushion
arrangement for the blade in operation.

Solenoid (NO).

The pump oil, at approximately 2150 psi (151.1 kg/cm2), is in passage (2). Solenoid (4) is a nolmally
closed switch (NC) that holds the valve closed and the pump oil is stopped in the pilot valve. Solenoid
(5) is a normally open switch (NO) that holds the valve open and lets the oil go from passage (3)
through passage (1) to the tank.

the accumulators. When solenoid (5) is closed, the oil in the pilot valve can not go out through passage
(1) to the tank.

Check Valve for the Accumulators


The check valve can either have the oil in the lines to the head ends of the lift cylinders stopped so the
rods in the cylinders can not move or, it can let the oil in the lines go to the accumulators which make a
cushion for the rods when they are forced into the cylinders.

for line to head end of a lift cylinder. 9. Passage to a line to head end of a lift cylinder.

When the switch for the blade cushion arrangement is ON, pump oil through inlet (1) moves pistons (4)
and (5) which move balls (6) and (7) off their seats. With the balls off their seats, the oil in the lines to
the head ends of the cylinders is through the check valve and the oil is against the pistons in the
accumulators. A cushion of nitrogen gas with a pressure of 300 psi (21.1 kg/cm2) is on the other sides of
the pistons. An increase of the pressure of the oil in either one of the lines from the head ends of the lift
cylinders can move the piston in an accumulator. There is an accumulator for the oil in the head end of
the lift cylinder on the right side and an accumulator for the lift cylinder on the left side.

Turn the switch OFF and the pump oil does not go to inlet (1). The oil from inlet (1) goes to the tank.
With oil at tank pressure on pistons (4) and (5), springs and the oil in passages (8) and (9) move balls (6)
and (7) to their seats. The balls also move pistons (4) and (5). When balls (6) and (7) are on their seats,
there is no cushion for the rods in the lift cylinders.
