FILTER BLOCK
This block contains the oil filter, the selector valve for open or closed centre, the circulation valve,
safety valves and volume-regulating valve.
V1
Selector valve for open/closed centre
(CP 620-1.)
Open centre hydraulics
Most tractors have an oil pump which produces a fixed volume per revolution. For these tractors the
selector valve must be in the open position. (See section 4.10.)
If no other function is activated, the oil flows from the tractor, through the oil filter, the selector valve,
the circulation valve and back to the tractor.
As soon as a function button is pressed on the control box, the circulation valve, V3, will close the
oil circuit and at the same time open the valve for the selected function.
Closed centre hydraulics
For tractors with variable oil pumps, for example John Deere, the
selector valve
must be in the
closed position. (See section 4.10.)
With this setting the oil can only enter the control block when one of the functions has been
selected.
V2
Closed centre valve
(CP 500-3.) (Electric cable number 8.)
Electric valve. This is closed when no function is selected, and opens whatever function has been
selected. It releases oil into the control block, and simultaneously opens the LC valve for the
particular function. (When the selector valve (V1) is in the open position, it has no function.)
V3
Circulation valve
(CP 500-4.) (Electric cable number 7.)
Electric valve. When the machine is running idly, this valve remains open and the oil circulates
constantly from and to the tractor. As soon as one of the control box functions is selected, this valve
will close and simultaneously open the LC valve for the particular function.
(When the selector valve (V1) is in the closed position, it has no function.)
