X. Pilot Circuit
22
Form No. 29704
Pilot fluid flow/pressure serves joystick operation, boom tilt, steering & travel functions and auxiliary hydraulic
functions (optional). Pilot fluid is supplied from a 6.6 GPM pilot pump. The rear section of the tandem gear pump, at
pilot pump, is driven at engine speed by the thru-drive of the swing pump.
Fluid from the pilot pump flows through an inline pilot filter in the engine compartment. The pilot filter includes a 10-
micron element and a pop-up filter condition indicator. From the filter, fluid flows to the pilot manifold. Always check
the bypass indicator after hydraulic fluid is warmed to at least 120° F. Cold fluid will increase bypass indication.
In the pilot manifold, a relief valve limits pilot system pressure to 480 PSI. Excess fluid from the pilot system returns to
the reservoir through the relief valve. This excess (dump) fluid goes through the heat exchanger (oil cooler) and
return filter.
See Figure 20, Figure 20A and Figure 20B
Pilot fluid from the manifold supplies the swing pilot
charge pressure valve, (pressure reducing valve), and pilot solenoid valve in the valve compartment (which has a
solenoid valve to turn the controls on/off). The pilot solenoid valve is controlled by a switch that is triggered using
the right-hand armrest controls. The pilot solenoid valve supplies pilot fluid to the joystick controls, foot pedal
controls and swing brake release valve.
Two joysticks and two foot pedals control machine functions.
See Figure 23 and Figure 24
The boom/hoist control
curves are different than the swing/tool curves. All functions except tilt are controlled by hydraulic pilot signals.
Piloted end caps on each control valve receive the pilot signal. Both the valve control curve and spool centering are
determined by springs in the end caps.
See Figure 43
Tilt is controlled by a rocker switch, speed switch and electrical end caps on the control valve. Electrical proportional
solenoids on the valve meter pilot fluid to the tilt valve end caps. If an auxiliary valve is provided, it is actuated
similar to the tilt valve. However, the solenoids on the auxiliary valve are simple on/off-type solenoids. Auxiliary
circuit speed control comes from spool stroke limit adjusters for the auxiliary valve.
