CONTROL VALVE
The main control valve operates the lift, telescope,
swing functions and the outrigger functions
The swing section receives oil at the inlet from the
small (8 gpm) pump section. The remaining sections
receive oil at the mid-inlet from the middle (24 gpm)
pump section.
The valve sections are three-position valves. A relief
valve cartridge is located in the swing inlet and mid-
inlet sections and in the telescope section on the
retract side.
On the bottom of each outrigger/stabilizer section is a
small switch which activates the outigger/stabilizer-
in-motion alarm.
The control valve is located inside the console weld-
ment. Sections are operated through linkages to the
control handles.
The control valve can be accessed inside the pedes-
tal through the pedestal side covers for adjustments
and hose replacement. If the valve must be replaced
or other components require access, the console
weldment can be removed. To remove the console
weldment, the hoses must be disconnected from the
valves mounted on the inside of the console weld-
ment.
IMPORTANT: Always clean area around valve
and valve to prevent dirt and contamination from
entering hydraulic lines and valve ports.
Always mark hydraulic lines according to port loca-
tion before disconnecting hoses. Cap or plug hoses to
prevent contamination.
When installing the valve and linkages attach the
linkages before aligning the control levers. If the
console weldment has been removed, adjust the
linkages before mounting the console weldment to
the pedestal.
