When the control lever is moved to the BOOM RAISE position, the oil from the control valve (boom I) flows
through port (6) and into boom drift reduction valve (16). The oil acts on the left end face of valve (2). Because
no oil is sent to pilot line (15) from the pilot control valve, spool (11) remains stationary. Pilot line (15) is
connected to port (8) through the following passages: (5), (12), (10) and (14) .

When passage (5) is connected to port (8), the oil pressure at passage (1) overcomes the force of spring (3).
Valve (2) moves to the left side. Spring (3) is compressed. Oil from passage (1) flows through port (8). The oil
in spring chamber (4) flows through passages (5), (10), and (9) and into port (8). Oil from passage (1) and
spring chamber (4) flows through port (8) and into the head end of the boom cylinders.

When the control lever is moved to the BOOM LOWER position, pilot oil from the pilot control valve flows
through pilot line (15). The oil then flows through port (17) and into boom drift reduction valve (16). The oil
moves spool (11) to the right until the spool comes in contact with plug (21). The oil in spring chamber (4)
flows through the following passages: (5), (14), (10) and (22). The oil then flows into spring chamber (20). The
oil flows out of port (18) through drain line (13) to the hydraulic tank. The oil pressure in spring chamber (4)
now decreases.

Return oil from the head end of the boom cylinders enters boom drift reduction valve (16) through port (8).
Because the oil pressure in spring chamber (4) is low, valve (2) begins to open by moving to the right. The
return oil now flows through port (7) and into the control valve (boom I).
