Solenoid Valve (8 Spool)
Slew Brake (CT1)
When the slew pressure switch is closed on the servo
shuttle valve, the ECU1 sends a signal to the CT1
solenoid, which allows servo pressure across the solenoid,
over the shuttle valve CT10 and across the slew lock
solenoid CT3. Pressure exits at port B and releases the
slew brake.
Isolator (CT2)
The solenoid is energised when both the lever lock in the
cab is in the lowered position and the isolator button on the
right hand fascia switch panel is turned off. No further
function will operate unless the isolator is energised.
Oil from the servo pump enters at port P which:
1 Charges the servo pressure accumulator
2 Is available to the servo isolator spool.
Once the isolator solenoid is energised the pilot pressure
crosses the isolator spool and becomes available to the
remaining 7 solenoids and exits at port B2 to feed the cab
manifold which distributes servo pressure to the cab servo
controls.
Slew Lock (CT3)
When the slew lock button is selected in the cab the slew
lock solenoid will energise after 5 seconds. This allows any
pressure in the slew brake to vent to tank before the brake
is applied 100%.
Maximum flow cut (CT4)
The solenoid is energised when.
1 Slow speed travel is selected. (Tortoise).
2 Lift mode is selected.
When any of the above functions are selected then the
max flow cut solenoid energises and sends a signal to both
max flow cut ports of the pump via port C4. This restricts
the maximum pump flow to 60%.
2 Stage travel (CT5)
When high speed travel is selected in the cab (Hare) then
CT5 solenoid is energised, which allow servo pressure to

Operation
the track drive motors via port C7 to select high speed
travel in the motors K Track Motor/Reduction Gear ( T F-3)
Boom Priority (CT6)
When the boom priority rocker switch in the LH console is
selected, the ECU1 energises CT6 which sends a pilot
signal to port Pi1 in the main control valve to select the
boom priority spool.
2 Stage relief (CT7)
This can be operated by two functions:
1 When the auto power boost pressure switch, on the
main control valve, closes the 2 stage solenoid will
energise for 3 seconds, then de-energise for 9
seconds. This cycle will continue as long as the auto
power boost pressure switch is closed.
2 By selecting "Lift mode" on the EMS panel. This will
permanently energise the solenoid. When energised
by either of the above functions, servo pressure acts
on the MRV via port C7 and selects the MRV to it's
second stage.
Cushion control (CT8)
This function is operated by the cushion control button in
the cab. In the de-energised position the boom and dipper
services are cushioned when the servo levers are released
to improve controllability.
When the cushion control button is selected, servo
pressure via port C8 acts on the cushion spools within the
cushion valve and removes the cushioning on the boom
and dipper services.
