SUCTION, DELIVERY AND RETURN CIRCUIT

45073HC02

The pilot pump receive oil from the hydraulic tank. The discharged oil from the pilot pump flows to
the safety solenoid valve through the line filter. The oil is filtered by the line filter. The pilot relief
valve is provided in the pilot pump for limiting the pilot circuit pressure.
The oil filtered by line filter flows remote control valve through safety solenoid valve.
The return oil from remote control valve returned to hydraulic tank.

2. SAFETY SOLENOID VALVE(SAFETY LEVER)

45073HC03

When the lever of the safety solenoid valve is moved downward, oil flows into the remote control
valve through solenoid valve and line filter.
When the lever of the safety solenoid valve moved upward, oil does not flows into the remote control
valve, because of blocked by the spool.

When one of the RCV lever (except travel lever) is tilted, the pilot oil flows into SH port through main
control valve.
This pressure moves spool so, discharged oil from pilot valve flows to swing motor PG port.
This pressure is applied to swing motor disc, thus the brake is released.
When all of the RCV lever are set in the neutral position, oil in the swing motor disc cylinder is
drained, thus the brake is applied.

5. TRAVEL SPEED CONTROL PRESSURE

45073HC06

When the travel speed solenoid valve was placed in the Hi position, the pressure oil from pilot pump
through line filter flows to port(Pk) of travel speed change over valve, and the control piston is
pushed up, thus minimizing the displacement.
When the travel speed solenoid valve was placed in the Lo position, the oil of Pk port return to the
tank and the control piston is returned, thus maximizing the displacement.

GROUP 5 COMBINED OPERATION
1. OUTLINE

45073HC17

The oil from the front and rear pump flows through the neutral oil passage, bypass oil passage and
confluence oil passage in the main control valve. Then the oil goes to each actuator and operates them.
Check valves and orifices are located on these oil passage in the main control valve. These control the oil
from the main pumps so as to correspond to the operation of each actuator and smooth the combined
operation.
STRAIGHT TRAVEL SPOOL
This straight travel spool is provided in the main control valve.
If any actuator is operated when traveling, the straight travel spool is pushed to the left by the pilot oil
pressure(PP) from the pilot pump. Consequently, the left and right travel oil supply passage are
connected, and equivalent amount of oil flows into the left and right travel motors. This keeps the straight
travel.
