spool in the loader valve block to send the pressurised oil
from the pumps to the selected service ram. The
pressurised oil forces the piston along the bore to give a
service movement. As the piston moves, the oil is pushed
from the opposite end of the ram and returns to the tank
through a filter.

The relief valves in the system prevent undue pressure


increases through internal and external sources.
r

When the valve blocks are assembled, tighten the tie-rods


to 67 lbf ft (91 Nm).
D

The main components of the 416 Wheeled Loader


hydraulic system are the pump, loader valve block, priority
valve, servo valve, steering valve, tank, rams and filters.
For descriptions of the steering and brake valves, refer to
the relevant Sections.

A separate gear pump supplies the brake circuit.


d

The variable flow piston pump is driven by the engine and


ue

delivers pressurised oil to the priority valve section of the


loader valve block. The priority valve ensures that the
steering circuit has first demand on pump flow and
pressure. A pressure regulated outlet from the loader valve
is routed to the servo valve which in turn is redirected to the
s

loader valve service spools as control inputs.

Complex hydraulic components and circuits can be Single acting


described to the engineer by using graphical symbols. The
following pages illustrate and give a brief description for
some of the more common symbols used.
Double acting
There are many symbols in use and it would be impossible
to include them all here. However it should be noted that

14
most are only variations or refinements on the basic
principles explained here. If more detailed information is Double ended
required you are recommended to obtain a copy of
BS2917 or IS01219.
Double acting with damping

Once familiar with the symbols, the engineer can use at rod area end
hydraulic circuit diagrams as an aid to fault finding. It will
be possible to see the complete hydraulic circuit and

three boxes. The number of boxes indicates the number of
possible valve operating positions, (3 boxes - 3 positions
etc).

Load Hold Check Valve

Load Hold Check Valve

When the Loader Valve section LV1 raise service is


operated, the weight of the load lifted gives a higher
pressure than that made by the pump.

This pressure difference causes the load hold check valve


A to close and prevent the load from dropping. Refer
K Fig 17. ( T E-27).

As the neutral circuit is blocked at B, the pump pressure


increases in the gallery until it is more than in the service

The load hold check valve A will open (inset A2) to let the
oil flow through into the service line and continue with the

Auxiliary Relief Valve Operation

Auxiliary Relief Valve Operation

Introduction
The two A.R.V.s in the Loader Valve section LV2 release
the excessive pressure in the service lines caused by
external forces and also supply an anti-cavitation function.

Pressure Relief
The figure inset 2 shows that the pressure in the service

14
gallery A has reached the setting of the A.R.V.

The pressure cancels the effect of the spring H on the


poppet B and lifts it from its seat.

20
The oil in the chamber C is moved through the drillings at
D. The excess service pressure from A (through port A) is
released into the exhaust gallery E. Refer
K Fig 19. ( T E-30).

th py
ly
If the shovel is fully tipped when the arms are being raised
and the shovel cannot tip further, this causes back
24 Co
pressure to the head side of the shovel rams and cavitation
on the rod side.

Ju
As the arms continue to rise, the back pressure increases
until it reaches the setting of ARV2 which opens to release
the pressure to the exhaust and prevents damage to the
on aft

rams and linkage.

Anti-Cavitation
r

The figure inset 1 shows that when the ARV1 senses a


higher pressure in the exhaust gallery E it cancels the force
D

of the spring F that restrains the anti-cavitation cone G.

The cone and its assembly move down to let the oil from
the exhaust gallery into the service gallery A.

This oil is sent to the rams (through port B) to limit the effect
of the rod side cavitation. When the ram stops cavitating,
the compressed spring F will return the anti-cavitation
d

cone G back to its seat. Refer K Fig 19. ( T E-30).

Main Relief Valve Operation

Main Relief Valve Operation

The Main Relief Valves MRVs are attached to the Loader


Valve LV on the Pressure Unloader PU and inlet LV6
sections.

When the service is in neutral and there is no excessive


pressure, the service pressure at A is felt on the lower face
of the poppet B and in the valve through the hollow piston
C.

The springs D and F combine with the service pressure to

14
keep B and E in position.

The spring F can be adjusted by means of screw G.

20
As the service pressure increases at A and reaches the
pilot setting of the MRV, the poppet E opens to let the oil
release from H to J and the pass sleeve K to the exhaust
gallery L.

th py
As service pressure at A increases and oil continues to

ly
release from J the pressure differential on the piston C
causes it to rise and seat on the point of the pilot poppet E.
24 Co
Ju
The pressure oil to H is stopped and this causes a
pressure drop above the main poppet B.

The poppet B opens and vents the service oil pressure into
the exhaust gallery L to control the system pressure. Refer
on aft

K Fig 20. ( T E-32).

Loader Valve - Unloader Operation 1

Loader Valve - Unloader Operation 1

The loader valve Unloader PU is used to decrease the


engine-down during the loading cycle, to give the
maximum available power to the transmission.

It does this by dumping the oil from the pump section P2 to


the tank, to fully apply the engine power to the main pump
section P1.

In operation 1 hydraulic oil from pump P2 enters the


pressure unloader PU and flows around the centre section

14
of spool A.

This oil goes through the check valve B and combines with
the flow from the pump P1.

20
The combined oil flows from P1 and P2 to fill the inlet
gallery C and is sent as pressure oil to the loader valve
service sections LV1 and LV2.

th py
The pressure in the inlet gallery C is sensed by the pilot

ly
valve D through the cross-drilling of spool A at A1.
24 Co
At a pressure below the setting of the pressure unloader,

Ju
both the pilot valve D and spool A are closed.

The exhaust gallery E is connected to the tank. Refer

Loader Valve - Unloader Operation 2

Loader Valve - Unloader Operation 2

If the pressure in the inlet gallery C increases, for example


because of increased demand on the lift service, the
setting of pilot valve D is reached and will open.

This causes a pressure differential between the spring


cavity F and gallery C.

The higher pressure in the gallery C is applied to the face


of the spool A at A2 and causes the spool to move.

14
The oil that enters the pressure unloader from the pump P2
now flows across the waisted section of the spool directly
to the tank.

20
The high pressure in the gallery C also holds the check
valve B closed and prevents the oil from the pump P1 from
being dumped.

th py
When the pressure in the gallery C decreases, the pilot
valve D will close.

ly
This means that oil in the spring cavity F will be at the same
24 Co
pressure as the oil in the gallery C and the force of the

Ju
spring will move spool A back to close the pump P2
connection to the tank. Refer K Fig 22. ( T E-36).

Once inside the system, hydraulic circuit contaminants
greatly effect the performance and life of hydraulic
24 Co
equipment. For example, contaminants in a hydraulic

pump develop internal wear to cause internal leakage and
hence lower discharges. Wear particles generated will
circulate with the hydraulic fluid to cause further
deterioration in the performance of this and other
equipment. Contaminants also enter principal sliding

Contaminant Standards
Dirt that damages your system is in many cases too small
to be seen with the eye. The particle size is measured in
microns.

1 micron = 0.001 mm (0.0000394 in).

Listed below are a few typical comparisons:

– Red Blood Cell = 8 microns (0.008 mm, 0.000315 in)


– Human Hair = 70 microns (0.07 mm, 0.00275 in)

14
– Grain of Salt = 100 microns (0.1 mm, 0.00394 in)

Smallest particle visible to the naked eye is 40 microns

To pressure test and set the auxiliary relief valve (A.R.V.),
use the service kit specified in K Service Tools ( T 1-21).

The service kit comprises; a test block 1, a setting-body 2


with adjusting-pin 3, a special spanner 4 and an anti-
cavitation lockout bung 5. The A.R.V. cartridge removal
tool contains an extractor cap 11 and a C-washer 12.
