The system is divided into four systems. The components are the oil cooler system, the brake system, the drive system, and the hydraulic tank. The oil cooler bypass valve maintains the hydraulic oil at the optimum operating temperature. For SAE 10W hydraulic oil, the oil cooler bypass valve maintains an operating temperature of 60 °C (140 °F). The oil flows from case drains of the pumps and motors to either the oil cooler or the hydraulic tank. When the machine is started the oil temperature is cool and the case drain pressure is high. The poppets and springs are the oil cooler bypass valves. The force of springs (17) and (18) and the poppets move downward in order to open the oil flow. The components will not be able to overcome the pressure of the return oil and the oil cooler bypass valve will open. Most of the return oil flows through port (2) to the hydraulic tank. When the temperature of the oil is very high, the viscosity of the return oil is very low. The flow resistance to the hydraulic oil cooler is low. Thus, the pressure of the return oil from the case drain is low. As a result of the low pressure of the return oil, the oil will flow through ports (8) and (9). The low pressure oil will not overcome the force of spring (17) and (18). The oil will flow through the port (11) to the oil cooler. The oil will return from the cooler, through port (12) and flow back to the tank. The brake system is controlled by the parking brake solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is located at port (5). When the machine is started the solenoid valve is in a energized position. Releasing the spring is accomplished by pilot oil. The spring-applied brake is released when pilot oil flows
