When lowering, the lowering solenoid valves in the lift/lower
control valve block are electrically activated. One of the
solenoid valves also has a manual release mechanism that
can be used to activate the valve without electrical control.
When the lowering solenoids are activated, oil is forced by
the weight of the load on the lift cylinders to flow from the lift
cylinders back to the reservoir. As the oil passes through the
lift/lower control valve block the amount of flow is regulated to
control the speed of descent.
2.2. Power Steering
The brake release pump and the steering pump are
contained in a duplex pump assembly driven by a single
motor. Separate adjustable pressure relief valves are built
into the pump housings. The upper pump is used for power
steering.
Fluid from the pump is directed to the power steering torque
generator. The torque generator is a sophisticated valve and
pump assembly that multiplies input torque and transfers it to
the output shaft. It operates on demand only and, when not
steering, the oil is allowed to return freely to the reservoir. The
input shaft of the torque generator is operated by a series of
cables, chains and pulleys from the operator’s steering
wheel. Mechanical stops are on these chains so that when
the steering wheel is turned to full stop no demand is made
on the torque generator.
2.3. Brake Release
The brake release pump and the steering pump are
contained in a duplex pump assembly driven by a single
motor. Separate adjustable pressure relief valves are built
into the pump housings. The lower pump, with smaller gears,
is used for the brake release. The brake pump also has a
normally open solenoid valve.
When the pump motor contactor is energized the solenoid
valve on the brake pump is energized and closes. With the
pump rotating and the solenoid valve closed, oil pressure is
directed to the pump outlet. This oil pressure operates the
brake release cylinder and pushes the brake actuator arm
