DUMP Operation
When the tilt control lever is moved to DUMP
position, dump stem (11) moves to DUMP position.
There is no detent for this position. Pilot oil is now
free to go through lift and tilt pilot valve (5) to the
right end of tilt valve spool (13). The tilt valve spool
moves to the left. The pilot oil at the left end of tilt
valve spool (13) goes back to tilt back stem (12) and
on to hydraulic tank (18).
The movement of tilt valve spool (13) stops the
flow of oil through lift and tilt control valve (26).
Implement pump pressure increases and opens load
check valve (9). The oil from implement pump sec-
tion (27) now goes to the rod end of tilt cylinder (1)
and causes the cylinder piston and rod to retract. The
Z-bar linkage causes the bucket to dump. The move-
ment of the cylinder piston and rod pushes the oil out
of the head end of the tilt cylinder. This oil comes into
lift and tilt control valve (26) and goes around both
valve spools (13) and (22) on its way back to oil
filters (29) and hydraulic tank (18).
When the tilt control lever is released, the lever
and dump stem (11) go back to HOLD position. The
flow of pilot oil through lift and tilt pilot valve (5) is
stopped. The springs on tilt valve spool (13) move the
valve spool back to HOLD position. The pilot oil at
the right end of the tilt valve spool goes back to dump
stem (11) and on to hydraulic tank (18).
The implement oil in tilt cylinder (1) is held by tilt
valve spool (13) and movement of the cylinder piston
and rod stops. The bucket is held in the dumped
position until the tilt control lever is moved again.
DUMP Operation With Engine Off
When the lift arms are raised, the bucket can be
dumped with the engine off. The pilot oil supply
comes from the head end of the lift cylinders. This oil
goes through check valve (14) to selector and pres-
sure control valve (10) which decreases the pressure
of the oil to approximately 1030 kPa (150 psi). The
oil then goes to lift and tilt pilot valve (5). When the
tilt control lever is moved to DUMP position, dump
stem (11) moves to DUMP position. The oil goes to
tilt valve spool (13) and moves it to DUMP position.
The head end of tilt cylinder (1) is now open to
hydraulic tank (18). Make-up valve (8) opens so that
the rod end of tilt cylinder (1) is also open to hydrau-
lic tank (18). The weight of the bucket causes the
bucket to dump.
LIFT CIRCUIT
RAISE Operation
When the engine is running with the control levers in
HOLD position, pilot pump section (19) takes oil from
hydraulic tank (18) and sends it first to pilot section
relief valve (17) which controls the maximum pressure
in the pilot system. The pilot oil flow then divides. Some
oil goes through line (16) to the hand metering unit of
the steering system. Some oil goes through check valve
(15) and selector and pressure control valve (10) to lift
and tilt pilot valve (5). The valve stems in the pilot valve
stop the flow of oil in HOLD position. The oil from pilot
pump section (19) goes through pilot section relief
valve (17) through oil filters (29) and back into hydrau-
lic tank (18).
At the same time, steering pump section (20)
sends oil through line (23) to the steering control
valve of the steering system. Also, implement pump
section (27) sends oil to main relief valve (4) which
controls the maximum pressure in the implement oil
system. The oil then goes through lift and tilt control
valve (26) because both valve spools are in HOLD
position. The oil then goes through oil filters (29) and
back into hydraulic tank (18).
When the lift control lever is moved to RAISE de-
tent position, lift stem (7) moves to RAISE position.
Pilot oil is now free to go through lift and tilt pilot valve
(5) to the left end of lift valve spool (22). This causes
the lift valve spool to move to the right. The pilot oil at
the right end of lift valve spool (22) goes back to lower
stem (6) and on to hydraulic tank (18).
The movement of lift valve spool (22) stops the flow
of oil through lift and tilt control valve (26). Implement
pump pressure increases and opens load check valve
(25). The oil from implement pump section (27) now
goes to the head end of lift cylinders (21) and causes the
cylinder pistons and rods to extend. The lift arms cause
the bucket to lift. The movement of the cylinder pistons
and rods pushes the oil out of the rod end of the lift
cylinders. This oil comes into lift and tilt control valve
(26) and goes around lift valve spool (22) on its way
back to oil filters (29) and hydraulic tank (18).
When the lift control lever is moved out of RAISE
detent position (either manually or by the lift kickout
mechanism), the lever and lift stem (7) go back to
HOLD position. The flow of pilot oil through lift and
tilt pilot valve (5) is stopped. The springs on lift valve
spool (22) move the valve spool back to HOLD posi-
