(5) Lever
(23) Toggle switch The hydraulic activation control lever must be in the LOCKED position in order to activate the counterweight removal circuit. Ball valves (2) and (3) must be in the OPEN position. The counterweight removal circuit is enabled by toggle switch (23).Counterweight Lower Operation

(22) Rear pump
(23) Toggle switch Toggle switch (23) energizes solenoid valve (10). Solenoid valve (10) shifts valve (9). Oil from rear pump (22) flows through line (16) and through valve (9) to control valve (1).When lever (5) is pulled DOWN, control valve (1) shifts for the counterweight LOWER operation. Pump oil flows through check valve (6) and control valve (1) to rod end of lift cylinder (4). Oil flows through ball valve (3) to open valve (8). Oil drains from the head end of lift cylinder (4) and flows through valve (8), ball valve (2), and control valve (1). The oil flows through control valve (1) and line (15) to hydraulic tank (18). The counterweight is lowered.The pressure for the counterweight removal circuit is regulated by relief valve (7).Counterweight Raise Operation

(23) Toggle switch
(24) Check valve Toggle switch (23) energizes solenoid valve (10). Solenoid valve (10) shifts valve (9). Oil from rear pump (22) flows through line (16) and through valve (9) to control valve (1).When lever (5) is pulled UP, control valve (1) shifts for the counterweight RAISE operation. Pump oil flows through check valve (6), control valve (1), and ball valve (2) to valve (8). Oil pressure opens check valve (24) in valve (8) and flows to the head end of lift cylinder (4). Oil drains from the rod end of lift cylinder (4) and flows through valve (1) and line (15) to hydraulic tank (18). The counterweight is raised.The pressure for the counterweight removal circuit is regulated by relief valve (7).
