    Flow from the brake pilot pump enters the pilot manifold on the lower side. The pilot flow control
    valve directs 15 L/min (4 US gpm) of flow to the pilot system.

    The new pilot manifold has one housing instead of two. The pilot filter is now under the cab.

    Pilot Control System

    Illustration 2 g00527584

    The pilot control system for the M300 Excavators is very similar to the former machines. Flow for
    the pilot system comes from the brake pilot pump (arrow). A pilot flow control valve that is located
    in the pilot manifold directs the flow to the pilot system before the attachment circuit receives any
    flow. The pilot circuit has a separate filter and a separate relief valve in order to regulate the
    maximum pilot pressure in the circuit.

    Flow from the pilot system is used to operate the following different functions on the M300
    Excavators:

    • Activate all hydraulic control valves and automatic engine control pressure switches.

    • Release the swing parking brake.

    • Activate the oscillating axle cylinders.

    • Disengage the transmission clutches and operate the creeper speed.

    • Operate the engine governor control.

    • Generate power shift pressure for the swing pump and the main hydraulic pump.

    Pilot manifold (1) is located on the fuel tank or to the right of the walkway that is behind the cab.
    Pilot flow control valve (2) is located on top of the pilot manifold. The flow control valve directs 15
    L/min (4 US gpm) of flow from the brake pilot pump to the pilot system. The pilot manifold is the
    distribution point for all flow from the brake pilot pump.

    (B) Swing brake

    (C) Main pump regulator

    (D) Swing pump regulator

    (E) Control valve for transmission shift brake or parking brake control valve

    The pilot circuit is divided into the following four groups: main pump circuit and swing pump circuit,
    pilot control valve circuits, swing brake circuits and travel creeper speed solenoid valve circuit.

    Main Pump Circuit and Swing Pump Circuit

    Part of the pilot pump oil goes to the swing pump and main pumps. When the main pump delivery
    pressure of main and swing pumps is low, the pilot oil flow is supplied to the swashplates for
    optimum pump output flow.

    Pilot pump oil flows from the pilot filter through the pilot oil manifold to the main pump proportional
    reducing valve and swing pump proportional reducing valves. The last proportional reducing valves
    will create main pump power shift pressures and swing power shift pressures. The power shift
    pressure affects the main pump regulator and the swing pump regulator. These regulators determine
    the pump delivery flow. Refer to Systems Operation, "Main Pump" and Systems Operation, "Swing
    Pump".

    Pilot Control Valve Circuits

    The pilot pump supplies oil through the pilot filter and the implement activation solenoid valve and to
    the following components:

    • Boom

    • Bucket pilot control valve

    • Stick pilot control valve

    Pilot pump oil flows to the travel activation solenoid and to the travel pilot control valve from the
    pilot oil filter.

    Pilot oil goes to the main control valve that is selected. This shifts the stem in the control valve in
    order to operate a cylinder and/or a travel motor.

    Pilot oil goes to the swing pump servo control valve. This shifts the servo piston in order to control
    the pump swashplate. The machine will swing in the corresponding direction. Refer to Systems
    Operation, "Swing Pump".

    When the pilot oil goes through the swing pump pressure reducing valve, the pressure switch for
    swing AEC is activated. Now, load signals are sent to the electronic controller. When no pilot oil is
    supplied to the pressure switch, the pressure switch turns off. Now, no load signals are sent to the
    electronic controller. Refer to Service Manual, SENR6265.

    When pilot oil goes to the boom circuit or to the stick circuit, the boom drift reduction valve and/or
    the stick drift reduction valve loses drift reduction function.

    Swing Brake Circuit


    M315 Excavator 7ML00860-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3054 Engine(SEBP28... Page 5 of 6

    The pilot pump supplies pilot oil through the swing brake solenoid valve to the swing brake motor in
    order to release the swing brake. When the swing brake is depressed, pilot pressure is released in
    order to engage the swing brake.

    Travel Creeper Speed Solenoid Valve Circuit

    When the travel speed control switch is placed in the creeper speed position, the creeper speed
    solenoid valve is energized in order to allow pilot pump oil to flow to the transmission. The travel
    speed changes to creeper speed.
