(16) Boom drift reduction valve When the joystick is moved to perform a BOOM RAISE operation. Pilot oil is not sent from the pilot control valve to port (15) of boom drift reduction valve (16). Spool (11) does not shift.The oil flow from the boom II control valve enters port (6) of the boom drift reduction valve. The oil flow from the boom I control valve enters port (7) of the boom drift reduction valve. The combined oil flow from ports (6) and (7) flows into passage (1). As the oil pressure in passage (1) increases, valve (2) shifts against the force of spring (3). The oil in spring chamber (4) flows through passages (5) and (9) to port (8). The oil delivery in passage (1) now flows through port (8) to the head end of the boom cylinders.Boom Lower

(21) Plug When the joystick is moved to perform a BOOM LOWER operation. Pilot oil is sent from the pilot control valve to port (15) of boom drift reduction valve (16). Spool (11) shifts downward until the spool contacts plug (21). The oil in spring chamber (4) flows through passage (5), the passage in spool (11), spring chamber (20), port (18) and drain line (13) to the hydraulic tank.The return oil from the boom cylinder head end enters port (8). Since the pressure in spring chamber (4) is low, the oil in port (8) shifts valve (2) against the force of spring (3). The oil from the head end of the boom cylinders flows through port (8), passage (1) and passage (7) to the boom I control valve.
