HOSE AS 5T9696 - Caterpillar

When the lift control lever is moved to the RAISE position, the position sensor for the lift control lever sends a pulse width modulated signal (PWM) to the implement electronic control module (ECM). The ECM analyzes this signal and the signals from the tilt linkage position sensor and from the lift linkage position sensor. The implement ECM then sends a proportional signal that energizes the solenoid for pilot control actuators (23) and (26) on the main control valves.The solenoid valves in the pilot control actuators (23) and (26) shift and the pilot oil at the raise end of the lift stems (18) and (21) is released to the hydraulic oil tank. This reduces the pilot pressure at the end of lift stems (18) and (21). The combination of the spring force and the oil pressure on the lower end of the lift stems begins to shift lift stems (18) and (21) to the RAISE position.The oil from implement pumps (31) and (32) flows around the control valve spool to the head end of each lift cylinder (1). The oil at the rod end of each lift cylinder (1) flows around stem (18) and (21) to the hydraulic oil tank (34).As the lift control lever is pushed further into the RAISE position, the implement ECM will increase the current solenoid valves for implement pumps (31) and (32). This will cause the implement pumps to upstroke. Additional oil will be directed to each main control valve. The speed of the raise operation will increase.LOWER Position
When the lift control lever is moved to the LOWER position, operation is similar to the raise operation. Solenoid valves for pilot control actuators (lower) (12) and (15) are energized. This reduces the pressure on the lower end of the tilt stems. The lift stems shift to the LOWER position. Implement supply oil is directed to the rod end of each lift cylinder (1). Oil from the head end of each lift cylinder is directed to the hydraulic oil tank (34).Float Position
