The combined function hydraulic system combines the features of one-way hydraulics
and two-way hydraulics. This combination allows single action hydraulic attachments
(hydraulic hammer) and double action hydraulic attachments (hydraulic shear) to be
used interchangeably on the same machine. The following components are the main
components of the combined function hydraulic system:

• Hydraulic control

• Ball valve assemblies

• Pilot oil lines

• Front lines

The combined function hydraulic system allows the use of one-way pressurized
hydraulic flow or two-way pressurized hydraulic flow. A ball valve is used in order to
change between the two systems. The ball valve is in the front lines group.

The combined function hydraulic system consists of the single action hydraulic
attachment circuit and the double action hydraulic attachment circuit. For more
information, refer to System Operation, "One-Way Hydraulic Flow Operation". For
more information on the double action hydraulic attachment circuit, refer to Systems
Operation, "Two-Way Hydraulic Flow Operation". Operation is selected through use of
a ball valve assembly.

Ball valve (6) is the component that dictates the hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit
is the single action hydraulic attachment circuit or the double action hydraulic
attachment circuit.

When ball valve (6) is open, the hydraulic circuit is set up for one-way flow. When the
hydraulic circuit is set up for one-way flow, the oil pressure for the attachment is
controlled by relief valve (7) .

(6) Ball valve. (9) Relief Valve. (10) Relief valve.

When ball valve (6) is closed, the hydraulic circuit is set up for two-way flow. When
the hydraulic circuit is set up for two-way flow, the oil pressure for the attachment is
controlled by relief valve (9) and relief valve (10) .
