The pump control valve contains a pressure compensator and a flow compensator. The pump
control valve keeps the pump pressure and the pump flow at the level that is required of the brake,
fan, and hoist system. When the hydraulic circuits are not active, the pump is at low-pressure
standby. However, if one or more circuits are active, the load signal resolver compares the signal
pressure of the hydraulic system. The highest resolved signal pressure is then routed to the
pressure and flow compensator valve. The pump control valve adjusts the swashplate angle of the
pump to maintain flow and pressure requirements. The margin pressure is defined as the difference
between the pump pressure and signal oil (1) with the force of spring (5).

The pump control valve limits the pressure to prevent overloads of the hydraulic system.

When the system pressure exceeds the setting of the pump control valve, the pressure
compensator will override the flow compensator. The output flow of the pump will be lowered.
Lowering the output flow will protect the hydraulic system from damage due to high pressure.

When more oil flow is needed, the brake, fan, and hoist pump upstrokes. Signal oil is sent to the
pressure and flow compensator valve when increased oil flow is required by the steering system.
Signal oil is sent to the pressure and flow compensator valve when increased oil flow is required by
the implement control valves. Both signal oil (1) and the force of spring (5) cause spool (9) to block

the oil flow into passage (7). With no oil flow to control piston (11), bias spring (15) is now allowed to
increase the swashplate angle. The hydraulic pump will produce more oil flow.

As the pump flow increases, the pump supply pressure increases. Spool (9) moves to a metering
position. Spool (9) moves when the pump supply pressure increases to the point of equaling the
sum of signal pressure (1) and spring (5). The difference between signal oil (1) and the pump supply
pressure is the value of spring (5).

When less oil flow is required, the hydraulic pump destrokes. The pump destrokes when the force
on the bottom of spool (9) is greater than the force of spring (5) and signal oil (1) combined. Spool
(9) moves upward. More oil is allowed to flow to control piston (11). With increased oil pressure on
control piston (11), the swashplate angle decreases. The hydraulic pump will produce less oil.
