Then, the oil flows to the return passages in one of the following conditions.
When all joysticks and/or travel levers/pedals are in the NEUTRAL position, oil from idler pump (18) flows through center bypass passage (7) through orifice (11) to return passage (13). Oil from drive pump (21) flows through center bypass passage (8) through orifice (10) to return passage (13) .
When any one of the joysticks and/or travel levers/pedals is shifted from the NEUTRAL position, center bypass passages (7) and (8) are blocked. The return oil from the cylinders and/or motors now flows through return passage (9) .The return oil from return passage (13) and return passage (9) flows through slow return check valve (17) back to hydraulic tank (19) in one of the following conditions.
When the oil temperature is very low, most of the oil is returned through bypass check valve (15) to hydraulic tank (19). The remainder of the oil flows into oil cooler (16) to hydraulic tank (19) .
When the oil temperature increases, the rate of oil flow through bypass check valve (15) decreases. This causes the rate of oil flow through oil cooler (16) to increase.ReferenceFor more information concerning the bypass check valve, refer to Systems Operation, "Bypass Valve (Return)".Case drain oil from drive pump (21), idler pump (18), and pilot pump (22) flows into case drain line (23). Case drain oil from the left travel motor and case drain oil from the right travel motor combines into drain line (5). Case drain oil from swing motor (1) and travel motors (2) flows into respective drain lines (4) and (5) and the oil flow in drain lines (4) and (5) combine to flow through drain line (12). Oil flow from drain line (12) combines with the oil flow from drain line (23) from the pumps at drain line (24). All of the case drain oil from the pumps and the motors now flows through case drain filter (25) to hydraulic tank (19) .Makeup line (3) will route return oil to the inlet port of the swing motor if a vacuum condition occurs at the swing motor during swing stop.For more information concerning the makeup operation of the return hydraulic system at the swing motor, refer to the following sections in this manual.
