The hoist control valve is located on the left side rear of the tractor. (1) Hoist control valve (3) Lower port (4) Raise port (6) Pilot control actuator (7) Lowering control valve (stopped engine) (9) Relief valveThe position of stem (10) is determined by the magnitude of the pilot pressure within pilot control actuators (6) and (12). This pilot pressure, which acts on the stem, is controlled by the solenoids which are part of the pilot control actuators. The solenoids are connected to the hoist control, which is in the cab, via the ECM. The stem has four positions.HOLD Position
When the engine is shut off, the magnitude of the pilot pressure within pilot control actuators (6) and (12) is zero. The stem is centered to the HOLD position by springs (5) and (11). When the hoist control is moved to the HOLD position and the engine is running, equal pilot pressure within the pilot control actuators moves the stem to the HOLD position. Oil flows from pump port (8) to tank port (2). All other ports are blocked by the stem.RAISE Position
When the hoist control is moved to the RAISE, the ECM sends a current to pilot control actuator (12), which is proportional to the displacement of the hoist control in the cab. Pilot control actuator (12) is energized. The pilot pressure within pilot control actuator (12) is relieved and the stem is moved to the RAISE position by the pilot pressure within pilot control actuator (6). The stem is moved fully to the left. Oil flows from pump port (8) to the piston sides of the hoist cylinders from raise port (4). Oil flows from the rod sides of the hoist cylinders to lower port (3). This oil flows from lower port (3) to tank port (2). The hoist cylinders extend and the body is raised.LOWER position
When the hoist control is moved to the LOWER, the ECM sends a current to pilot control actuator (6), which is proportional to the displacement of the hoist control in the cab. Pilot control
