LINE FILTER

The pilot pump receives 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 into the remote control valve through safety solenoid valve.
The returned oil returns to the hydraulic tank through the remote control valve.

LEVER UP

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 is moved upward, oil does not flow into the remote
control valve, because of the blocked port.

When the arm half flow switch is turned ON, the arm half flow solenoid valve is switched to ON and it
cancels oil flow from XAa1S to XAa2 : So the spool of arm 2 is not actuated.
As a result, the arm in operation is only the arm 1 section.
This function is useful to fine control of the arm in case of finishing work.

When the travel speed switch is pushed, the travel speed solenoid valve is actuated and the
discharged oil from the pilot pump flows to the Pk port of pilot valve in the travel motors.
As a result, the control piston is pushed by the main oil flow, thus the displacement is minimized.
When the travel speed switch is pushed once more, the travel speed solenoid valve is return to
original position by the force of spring, the hydraulic oil of Pk port returns to the hydraulic tank.
As a result, the control piston is returned by the main oil flow, thus the displacement is maximized.

When the power boost switch on the left control lever is pushed ON, the power boost solenoid valve
is actuated, the discharged oil from the pilot pump flows into Pz port of the main relief valve of main
control valve; then the setting pressure of the main relief valve is raised from 320kgf/cm2 to 350kgf/cm2
for increasing the digging power. And even when pressed continuously, it is canceled after 8
seconds.

When the L mode is selected on the cluster, max flow cut off solenoid valve actuates automatically.
Thus pilot pressure(Pm1, 2) is sent to the regulator and pump discharge volume is decreased.

When the swing control lever is tilted, the pilot oil goes to Sh port of shuttle valve, this pressure move
spool so, discharged oil from pilot valve goes to Pg port.
This pressure is applied to swing motor disc, thus the brake is released.
When the swing control lever is set in the neutral position, oil in the motor disc cylinder is drained,
thus the brake is applied.

When carrying out the combined operation of swing and boom or arm of the left control valve, the
swing speed can be lowered than operating speed of boom or arm. To prevent it, reducing valve is
used.
The oil from pilot pump flows into the reducing valve through the line filter.
Psp pressure from reducing valve shifts the swing priority spool to the right and decreases the oil
flow rate to the boom or arm section by orifice.
This is called the swing priority system.
