TM 5-3805-258-24-1H Y D R A U L I C S Y S T E MS Y S T E M S O P E R A T I O NIf the pressure of the oil in the circuit through inletopening (1) and in the chamber for spring (9) gets ashigh as the setting of the relief valve, the oil movespilot valve (3) open. The oil in the spring chambergoes, through the open pilot valve and through pas-sage (8) to the tank. Now, with only the force ofspring (9) on valve (2), the pressure of the oil in inletopening (1) moves valve (2) far enough to let the oilin the inlet opening (and circuit) go through outletopenings (7) to the tank. When the oil in the circuitcan go through inlet opening (1) and then throughoutlet openings (7), the pressure of the oil can notincrease to a pressure higher than the setting of therelief valve.The pressure setting of the relief valve can bechanged by either an increase or a decrease in theforce of the spring that keeps pilot valve (3) closed.Remove plug (6) and turn plunger (5) clockwise foran increase or counterclockwise for a decrease in thepressure setting of the relief valve.Relief Valves For Tilt And AttachmentCylindersThere is a relief valve in each of these circuits:head end of the tilt cylinder, rod end of the tiltcylinder, head end of attachment or third cylindersand rod end of attachment cylinders. These valvesare the same in construction and operation. Thesevalves are different in construction from the mainrelief valve, but their operation is similar.When either valve spool (tilt control or third con-trol) is in HOLD position, the relief valves in thehead and rod ends limit the maximum amount ofpressure in the cylinder lines. If an outside (external)force on the bucket or attachment becomes too high,the relief valve will permit movement of the cylinderpiston. This prevents damage to the machinecomponents.The relief valve for the rod end of the tilt cylinderalso releases the rod end pressure when the lift armsare lifted with the bucket fully dumped and the tiltcontrol valve spool is in HOLD position.BUCKET CONTROL GROUPThe bucket control group gives a way to control theoperation of bucket (3). This group is made up oftwo lift cylinders (4), one tilt cylinder (1), lift armassembly (5), lever (2) and link (6). This type oflinkage is known as Z-bar linkage because of the Zformed by the tilt cylinder, lever and link. Tilt cy-linder (1), lift cylinders (4) and lift arm assembly (5)are fastened to the loader frame by pins.B U C K E T C O N T R O L G R O UP1. Tilt cylinder. 2. Lever. 3. Bucket. 4. Lift cylinders (in-side loader frame). 5. Lift arm assembly. 6. Link (betweenthe lift arm assembly).When pressure oil is sent to the head end of the liftcylinders, lift arm assembly (5) is lifted. When pres-sure oil goes to the rod end of the lift cylinders (4),the lift arm assembly is lowered.The bucket will tilt back when pressure oil is sentto the head end of tilt cylinder (1). The bucket willdump when pressure oil goes to the rod end of the tiltcylinder.LIFT KICKOUTP A R T S T O A C T I V A T E T H E L I F T K I C K O U T1. Magnet assembly. 2. Lift arm on left side. 3.
