Main control valve (top view) (3) Stick I control valve (4) Swing control valve (5) Left travel control valve (6) Right travel control valve (7) Boom I control valve (8) Attachment control valve (9) Bucket control valve (10) Swing priority control valve (11) Stick regeneration control valve (12) Boom II control valve (13) Stick II control valveWhen joystick (1) and/or joystick (2) are operated, the pilot control valves send pilot pump oil through the pilot lines to pilot ports at the main control valve in order to shift the spools in the main control valve. Pilot oil that enters the control valves from the top causes the machine operations in Table 1. Pilot oil that enters the control valves from the bottom causes the machine operations in Table 2.

Plate (6) pushes down on rod (7). Seat (10) moves down against the force of metering spring (11) and spring (12). The force of metering spring (11) shifts spool (16) downward. Passage (15) opens. The pilot oil flows through passage (20), passage (18), passage (15) and port (19) to the main control valve. The pilot oil pressure shifts the spool of the main control valve. This enables the implement operation or swing operation.The return pilot oil at the opposite end of the spool in the main control valve returns to the pilot
