The dual tilt system consists of two tilt cylinders and a dual tilt valve. The dual tilt system has three modes of operation: DUAL
TILT, SINGLE TILT and BLADE PITCH.

Valve spool (3) is shifted by pilot oil from the rear section. The pilot oil is controlled by a solenoid valve that has two coils: coil
(5) and coil (12). Centering springs (8) hold the valve spool in the center position when both coils are de-energized.

The machine's onboard ADVISOR allows the operator to choose “Dual Tilt Mode” or “Single Tilt Mode”. When “Dual Tilt Mode”
is selected, neither coil is energized. When “Single Tilt Mode” is selected, solenoid coil (5) is energized.

BLADE PITCH can be activated at any time by moving the thumb switch on the blade control lever or by depressing the trigger
switch on the blade control lever. When BLADE PITCH is activated, solenoid coil (12) is energized.

Both blade tilt cylinders contain a bypass valve (1). The bypass valves allow completion of blade tilt or blade pitch when one tilt
cylinder reaches the end of the stroke prior to the other tilt cylinder. When the bypass valve touches the end of the cylinder
barrel, the valve shifts open. Oil is allowed to pass through the head of the cylinder in order to continue filling the other cylinder.
The oil is also used to cushion the end of the stroke.

When the tilt system is in the HOLD position, the blade tilt control valve blocks passages (10) and (11). Oil in the tilt cylinders is
trapped and the blade does not move.

Dual Tilt
When “Dual Tilt Mode” is selected within ADVISOR, the dual tilt circuit operates in DUAL TILT. DUAL TILT uses both tilt
cylinders to tilt the blade. Two tilt cylinders allow faster tilting and a greater tilt angle.

Note: The solenoid valve in the graphic appears isolated from the body of the dual tilt valve. The graphic has been simplified in
order to easily explain the operation. In reality, the solenoid valve is parallel to the valve spool within the valve housing.

When the machine is in DUAL TILT, neither of the coils in the solenoid valve are energized. Valve spool (3) is centered by the
spring force of centering springs (8).

When the operator moves the blade control lever to the TILT RIGHT position, oil from the tilt section is sent from the blade tilt
control valve to the dual tilt circuit through passage (11).

The pump oil enters the head end of left tilt cylinder (2). The pressure forces the cylinder to extend and oil is forced out of the
rod end. This oil is sent to the dual tilt control valve.

In the dual tilt control valve, the oil flows around valve spool (3) to the rod end of right tilt cylinder (9). As the cylinder retracts, oil
is forced out of the head end. This oil flows around valve spool (3) and to the blade tilt control valve through passage (10). The
blade tilt control valve sends this oil to the hydraulic tank.

The tilt cylinders move in opposite directions and the blade tilts to the right.

When the blade control lever is released, the oil is blocked at the blade tilt control valve. The blade remains tilted to the right
until the blade control lever is moved again.

Bypass valve (1) in left tilt cylinder (2) allows the oil to flow through the piston after the cylinder is fully extended. Oil can
continue to fill the rod end of right tilt cylinder (9) in order to provide full retraction.

Dual Tilt Left

The operation in DUAL TILT LEFT is similar to DUAL TILT RIGHT. The oil follows the opposite path as DUAL TILT RIGHT
position. Pump oil enters through passage (10) and drain oil returns through passage (11).

Left tilt cylinder (2) retracts and right tilt cylinder (9) extends. The blade tilts to the left.

Single Tilt
When “Single Tilt Mode” is selected within ADVISOR, the dual tilt circuit operates in SINGLE TILT. In SINGLE TILT, the right tilt
cylinder acts as a brace and only the left tilt cylinder moves. Maximum pry out force is achieved.

Note: The solenoid valve in the graphic appears isolated from the body of the dual tilt valve. The graphic has been simplified in
order to easily explain the operation. In reality, the solenoid valve is parallel to the valve spool within the valve housing.

When the machine is in SINGLE TILT, solenoid coil (5) in the solenoid valve is energized. The solenoid valve directs pilot oil to
the upper end of valve spool (3). The pressure of the pilot oil overcomes centering springs (8) in order to shift valve spool (3)
downward.

When the operator moves the blade control lever to the TILT RIGHT position, oil from the tilt section is sent from the blade tilt
control valve to the dual tilt circuit through passage (11).

The pump oil enters the head end of left tilt cylinder (2). The pressure forces the cylinder to extend and oil is forced out of the
rod end. This oil is sent to the dual tilt control valve.

In the dual tilt control valve, the oil flows around valve spool (3) and to the blade tilt control valve through passage (10). The
blade tilt control valve sends this oil to the hydraulic tank.

Valve spool (3) blocks the passages to right tilt cylinder (9). The oil is trapped and the right tilt cylinder does not move.

Right tilt cylinder (9) functions as a brace while left tilt cylinder (2) extends. The blade tilts to the right.

When the blade control lever is released, the oil is blocked at the blade tilt control valve. The blade remains tilted to the right
until the blade control lever is moved again.

Single Tilt Left

The operation in SINGLE TILT LEFT is similar to SINGLE TILT RIGHT. Pump oil enters through passage (10) and drain oil
returns through passage (11). The oil in right tilt cylinder (9) is trapped.

Right tilt cylinder (9) functions as a brace while left tilt cylinder (2) retracts. The blade tilts to the left.

Blade Pitch
BLADE PITCH has priority over DUAL TILT and SINGLE TILT. When the thumb switch on the blade control lever is pushed to
the left or to the right, the dual tilt circuit operates in BLADE PITCH. The thumb switch is used to adjust the vertical angle of the
blade.

In BLADE PITCH, both cylinders act together to change the vertical angle of the blade.

Note: The solenoid valve in the graphic appears isolated from the body of the dual tilt valve. The graphic has been simplified in
order to easily explain the operation. In reality, the solenoid valve is parallel to the valve spool within the valve housing.

When the operator moves the thumb switch on the blade control lever to the right, the dual tilt circuit is in PITCH FORWARD.
Solenoid coil (5) in the solenoid valve is energized. The solenoid valve directs pilot oil to the lower end of valve spool (3). The
pressure of the pilot oil overcomes centering springs (8) in order to shift valve spool (3) upward.

Note: In the PITCH FORWARD, the solenoid for BLADE TILT RIGHT is energized on the blade tilt control valve.

Oil from the tilt section is sent from the blade tilt control valve to the dual tilt circuit through passage (11).

The pump oil enters the head end of left tilt cylinder (2). The pressure forces the cylinder to extend and oil is forced out of the
rod end. This oil is sent to the dual tilt control valve.

In the dual tilt control valve, the oil flows around valve spool (3) to the head end of right tilt cylinder (9). As the cylinder extends,
oil is forced out of the rod end. This oil flows around valve spool (3) and to the blade tilt control valve through passage (10). The
blade tilt control valve sends this oil to the hydraulic tank.

Both tilt cylinders extend and the blade pitches forward.

When the thumb switch is released, the oil is blocked at the blade tilt control valve. The blade remains angled forward until the
thumb switch is moved again.

Bypass valve (1) in left tilt cylinder (2) allows the oil to flow through the piston after the cylinder is fully extended. Oil can
continue to fill the head end of right tilt cylinder (9) in order to reach full extension.

Note: The rate of extension is not equal for the two tilt cylinders. Right tilt cylinder (9) extends at a slower rate because the
head end of the right cylinder receives oil from the rod end of the left cylinder.

Rack Back
Note: In RACK BACK, the solenoid for BLADE TILT LEFT is energized on the blade tilt control valve.

The operation in RACK BACK is similar to PITCH FORWARD. RACK BACK is activated when the operator moves the thumb
switch on the blade control lever to the left.

Oil follows the opposite path as PITCH FORWARD. Pump oil enters through passage (10) and drain oil returns through
passage (11).

Both tilt cylinders retract and the blade racks back.
