Idler pump (41) and drive pump (30) are axial piston pumps. The performance of both pumps is equal.
Stick Hydraulic System
Drive pump (30) is directly connected to the engine by a flexible coupling. The drive pump delivers oil to the left control valve body (49) of
Stick Drift Reduction Valve
the main control valve. Idler pump (41) is mechanically connected to the drive pump through gears. The idler pump delivers oil to the right
Control Valve (Stick Lowering)
control valve body (48) of the main control valve. Pilot pump (40) is a gear pump that supplies oil to the pilot hydraulic system. Pilot pump
Bucket Hydraulic System (40) is coupled directly to idler pump (41) . Cooling pump (45) supplies oil to the oil cooling system. Cooling pump (45) is coupled directly
Cylinders (Boom, Stick and Bucket) to the engine through gears. All engine output is used to drive these three pumps.

Swing Hydraulic System As the load pressure increases during working conditions, the main pumps increase the delivery pressure and the pumps decrease the
Swing Motor flow rate. The hydraulic horsepower remains constant even though the delivery pressure and the flow rates change. The hydraulic
Pilot Valve (Swing Parking Brake) horsepower is approximately identical to the engine horsepower.

Relief Valve (Swing) When no work is being performed, pump oil flows through main control valve (14) and into hydraulic tank (35) . The main control valve
Oil Makeup (Swing System) sends a negative flow control signal to each main pump regulator in order to destroke the pump to the minimum output flow.
Relief Valve (Cushion Crossover) - Anti-Reaction Valves
If an operation is being performed, main control valve (14) directs pump oil to the respective cylinders (boom, bucket, and stick) and/or
Solenoid Valve (Fine Swing) - If Equipped motors (swing and travel). Main control valve (14) contains numerous valve stems, passages, check valves, and orifices in order to carry
Swing Drive out a single operation or a combined operation. The working pressure of the main hydraulic system is regulated by main relief valve (18) .

1. The pilot hydraulic system controls the operation of the implement control valves.
Pilot oil flows from pilot pump (40) through pilot oil manifold (22) . The pilot oil then flows to the pilot control valves for machine
operation (implement operations, swing operations and travel operation). These pilot control valves are activated by the joysticks and
the travel levers/pedals.

When joystick (53) , joystick (54) , left travel lever/pedal (50) and/or right travel lever/pedal (51) are moved from the NEUTRAL
position, the pilot oil flows through the pilot control valves to the corresponding spools at the main control valve (14) .
The pilot pressure oil at that end of the valve spool forces the valve spool to shift. The pilot oil on the other end of the valve spool
drains to the hydraulic tank. When the valve spool shifts, oil is then delivered from idler pump (41) or drive pump (30) to the cylinders
and motors.
Thus, pilot oil drives each system of the main control valve.
During machine operation, pilot pressure is sent to the main pump regulators as a signal pressure. This signal pressure is called
power shift pressure. The electronic control system receives input signals from various components on the machine. The machine
ECM processes the input signals. The electronic control system then sends an electrical signal to proportional reducing valve (43) at
the idler pump regulator in order to regulate the power shift pressure. The power shift pressure controls the output flow of idler pump
(41) and drive pump (30) . Power shift pressure adjusts the output flow of the main pumps in accordance with the engine speed. For
more information concerning power shift pressure, refer to Systems Operation, "Pilot Hydraulic System".

 Product Link - PL522/523 3. The pilot hydraulic system generates signal pressure in order to perform the following operations.

 Product Link 121S/300

a. Pilot signal pressure activates the Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) system. This causes functions to automatically
reduce the engine speed when no hydraulic operation is called for.

b. Pilot signal pressure releases the swing parking brake.

c. Pilot signal pressure will automatically change the travel speed to either HIGH or LOW in accordance with the hydraulic system
load.

d. Pilot signal pressure operates the straight travel control valve. This maintains straight travel during the operation of an
implement.

e. Pilot signal pressure controls the operation of the valves that can be used during a loading operation or a trenching operation.

For more information concerning the pilot hydraulic system, refer to Systems Operation, "Pilot Hydraulic System".
