The purpose of this section is to show you how to
find your way around schematic circuit diagrams. A rectangle with the top removed represents a
vented reservoir. A rectangle with the top in place

SIMPLE SCHEMATIC
Now that you have completed hydraulic symbols, we have put some of the symbols together to form a simple
hydraulic schematic. See if you can find your way around the schematic without reading the text for each
valve. The text explains the function of each valve in the hydraulic system.
