Pilot Control Valve Circuits
Oil from pilot pump (69) flows through pilot line (65), pilot filter (61), and pilot line (62) to pilot manifold (56). When the hydraulic activation control lever is shifted to the UNLOCKED position, machine ECM (74) energizes hydraulic activation solenoid valve (54). The pilot oil then shifts valve (53). The pilot oil now flows through valve (53) and pilot line (45). The pilot oil now flows to pilot control valves (6), (35), and (39) for implements, swing, and travel in order to perform machine operations. When the joysticks and/or travel levers/pedals are moved, the pilot oil flows to main control valve (20) in order to control the machine functions.

Pilot lines at the main control valve (top view)When either joysticks are operated, the pilot control valves send pilot pump oil through the pilot lines to pilot ports at main control valve (20) in order to shift the spools. Refer to Illustration 4 and Table 1 for the location of the pilot lines and machine operations.

Pilot line     Control Valve     Machine Operation    
(11)     Stick I control valve     STICK IN    
(12)     Left travel control valve     LEFT TRAVEL REVERSE    
(13)     Right travel control valve     RIGHT TRAVEL REVERSE    
(14)     Bucket control valve     BUCKET CLOSE    
(15)     Boom I control valve     BOOM LOWER    
(16)     Swing control valve     SWING LEFT    
(79)     Boom II control valve     BOOM RAISE    
(80)     Stick II control valve     STICK IN    Pilot oil from the pilot control valves flows through pilot lines to the ports on the bottom of the main control valve in order to perform the opposite operation.The following example is given for the BOOM LOWER operation and the BOOM RAISE operation. Machine operations for a stick operation, bucket operation, travel operation, and swing operation are accomplished in the same manner as the boom operation.When the joystick for the boom is moved to the BOOM RAISE position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (39) flows through pilot line (47) to boom I control valve (31). The pilot pressure shifts boom I control valve (31). The oil delivery from drive pump (68) flows to the head end of the boom cylinders in order to perform the BOOM RAISE operation.When the joystick for the boom is moved to the BOOM LOWER position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (39) flows through pilot line (15) to boom I control valve (31). The pilot pressure shifts boom I control valve (31). The pilot oil also flows through pilot line (21) in order to open boom drift reduction valve (22). The return oil from the head end of the boom cylinders flows through boom drift reduction valve (22) and boom I control valve (31) to the hydraulic tank. The BOOM LOWER operation is now performed.Pressure Switch Circuits
Pressure switches (8) and (10) are connected to travel pilot control valve (6). Pressure switch (42) is
