FLUID FLOW EXPLANATIOI! The fluid flows by gravity from the reservoir @ to the hydraulic pump @ . The hydraulic pump @ is a “gear type” pump and is driven by a shaft through the hydrostatic pumps @ The fluid from the hydraulic pump @ goes to the hydraulic control valve @ The hydraulic control valve @ has an adjustable relief valve @ . When all spools of the control valve @ are in the neutral position, the fluid goes through the control valve @ and to the oil cooler @ . If one of the spools is activated, the fluid goes out the respective port and to either the base end, or rod end of the cylinder(s) @ ® . As the fluid goes into one end of the cylinder(s) @ @ the fluid from the other side of the cylinder flows back into the control valve @ ALSO SEE BUCKET POSITIONING SYSTEM OPERATION (OPTIONAL). When the cylinder(s) @ @ reaches the end of the stroke, the fluid attains the setting of the main relict valve @, it will open and let the fluid by-pass the hydraulic circuit (internally) and go back to the cil cooler @ which becomes "charge supply fluid” for the hydrostatic pumps @ When the spool goes back to neutral position, then there is fluid available for the other sections of the control valve @ . Two sections of the contro! valve @ can be used at the ‘same time if the main relief valve @ is not open. The fluid flows from the oil cooler @ through the #4 synthetic media filter @ to the hydrostatic pumps @. This fluid is called “charge supply fluid”. In the hydrostatic pumps @ the fluid is against the charge relief valve @ and four replenishing valves @ The hydrostatic pumps @ do not need the full volume of fluid flow so there is extra fluid This extra fluid goes to the charge relief valve @ . The replenishing valves @ open and let fluid into the pumps @ for replenishing, lubrication and cooling With the replenishing valves @ open this flow of fluid becomes “drive loop fluid”. When the steoring levers are in neutral, the pumps @ and the motors @ are not working, but do have charge pressure fluid. When the steering levers are moved, the swashplates in the pumps @ are angled and the fluid is forced out of the pressure side of the pumps @ and to the motors @ . Ths flow of tuids called “drive pressure”. Drive pressure is much higher than charge pressure causing the replenishing valves @ to close, allowing the flow of the fluid to go to the motors @ Thore are two hydrostatic pumps @ and two hydrostatic motors @ . One pump and one motor work together as a pair to drive on one side ofthe loader. The other pump and motor work 8s @ pair to drive the opposite side of the loader. The hydrostatic motors @ are a “‘roller-geroler”’ type. The case drain fluid from the right motor @ goes to the hydrostatic pump @ . Case drain fiuid from the left motor @ joinsreturn fluid from the auxiliary section of the control valve @ and goes to the reservoir @ The filter @ has a by-pass valve © to allow fluid flow when the fluid will not go through the filter element (plugged). BUCKET POSITIONING SYSTEM OPERATION (OPTIONAL) ‘The lft section and tlt section of the control valve @ work together to position the bucket as the lift arms, of the loader, are being raised. When the lift arms are being raised, the hydraulic pump @ fluid flow is directed to the base end of the lft cylinders @ . The fluid from the rod end of the lift cylinders @ returns to the bucket position valve @ and is directed to the center ofthe flow-control spoo! @). The flow-contrel spool @ and adjustable metering orifice @ directs this flow. A percentage of the flu is directed over the adjustable metering orifice @ to level the bucket. The rest of the fluid is directed through the orifice in the flow-control spool ® and on to the return port of the control valve @ (lft section) The fluid flow from the flow-control spool @ and adjustable metering orifice @ are against the un-loading spool @ . The un-loading spool @ moves to allow extension of the tilt cylinder ® as the lift cylinders @ raise the lift arms. The pressure relief valve @ is to relief fluid from the base end of the tilt cylinder @ if the bucket is fully rolled out and the lift cylinders ® are still extending, DIVERTER VALVE SYSTEM OPERATION (OPTIONAL) NOT ENERGIZED The fluid under pressure from the hydraulic pump @ goes to the pilot line to the diverter valve block @ . This fluid is called “‘pilot pressure” fluid. When the electrical solenoid @c is NOT ENERGIZED, the pilot pressure fiuid will have no function. When the electrical solenoid @ , at the control valve @ is energized the fluid will flow into the diverter valve @ “'P1” port, and through to the “D1” port (front quick coupler @ }, Return fluid ‘comes from the “D2” port (front quick coupler @ }, and returns through the ““P2"’ port and back to the control valve @ . When the electrical solenoid @ is energized in the opposite direction, the fluid flow will change to the opposite direction.
