When the travel speed control switch on the control panel is pushed, a rabbit appears on the display. The machine is in HIGH SPEED MODE. In this condition, an input signal from the
travel speed control switch is sent to the machine ECM.

The pressure sensor for the pump delivery also provides an input signal to the machine ECM. When the travel load is light and the pump delivery pressure is below a certain level, the
signal from the pump delivery pressure sensor is below a certain level. When the pump delivery pressure is below a certain level, the machine ECM energizes the travel speed solenoid.
When the travel speed solenoid is energized, pilot system oil flows into pilot port (6) of displacement change valve (5). Spool (14) moves to the right against the force of spring (15) until
the spool contacts body (16).

Main pump oil flows from passage (7) of the travel motor through check valve (8). The main pump oil then flows through spool chamber (17) and passage (11) to piston chamber (12).
The oil in piston chamber (12) moves piston (13) against swashplate (1). Swashplate (1) forces piston (2) into piston chamber (3). The oil in piston chamber (3) flows through passage
(4), spool chamber (18), and passage (19) to hydraulic tank (20). As a result, the angle of swashplate (1) is decreased and the motor displacement is decreased. The travel speed is
maximum in this condition.

When the angle of swashplate (1) in the travel motor increases, the displacement of the travel motor increases. The angle of swashplate (1) in the travel motor will increase and the travel
speed will decrease during the following two conditions.

1. The angle of swashplate (1) in the travel motor will increase and the travel speed will decrease when an increase in pump pressure occurs.

When the machine is in HIGH SPEED MODE and the pump delivery pressure increases above a certain level, the travel speed solenoid is de-energized. When the travel speed
solenoid is de-energized, pilot system oil stops flowing into pilot port (6) of displacement change valve (5). Spool (14) moves to the left by the force of spring (15) until the spool
contacts stopper (21). Main pump oil flows from port (7) of the travel motor through check valve (8). The main pump oil then flows through spool chamber (18) and passage (4)
into piston chamber (3). The oil in piston chamber (3) moves piston (2) against swashplate (1). The angle of swashplate (1) increases. Swashplate (1) forces piston (13) into piston
chamber (12). The oil in piston chamber (12) flows through passage (11), spool chamber (17), and center passage (22) of spool (14). The oil then flows through passage (19) to
hydraulic tank (20). As the angle of swashplate (1) increases, the displacement of the travel motor increases and the travel speed decreases.

2. In LOW SPEED MODE, the angle of swashplate (1) will increase and the travel speed will decrease.

When the travel speed control switch on the control panel is pushed, a tortoise appears on the display. The machine is in LOW SPEED MODE. In this condition, an input signal
from the travel speed control switch is sent to the machine ECM. The machine ECM de-energizes the travel speed solenoid. The angle of swashplate (1) increases and the
displacement of the travel motor increases. The travel speed decreases.
