Pilot oil flows through pilot filter (1) and through port (10) of pilot oil manifold (4). The pilot oil then enters
passage (13). The pilot oil opens check valve (14) and flows through passage (12) to the hydraulic activation
control valve. Pilot oil then flows to the pilot control valves.

Accumulator (5) provides oil to the pilot line as makeup oil. During combined operations, the pilot system
needs more oil because there is not enough flow from the pilot pump. When implements are lowered with the
engine stopped, makeup oil supply is provided by the accumulator.

The accumulator stores hydraulic pressure oil by taking advantage of the compressibility of nitrogen gas in gas
chamber (7) .

The pilot pump oil from passage (12) flows through inlet port (11) and into oil chamber (9). The pilot oil
pressure acts against bladder (8) and the nitrogen gas in chamber (7) is compressed.

Check valve (14) is located in the passage that is connected to inlet port (11). The check valve prevents oil from
flowing back to passage (13). Oil from accumulator (5) flows through passage (12). This oil is used to shift the
main control valve stems.
