Steering Circuit:
A hydraulic circuit that actuates steering cylinders by
pressure oil delivered from steering pump through the
RCB valve and steering valve, and that also releases
the parking brakes.
Brake Circuit:
A hydraulic circuit that applies the front dry brakes and
rear wet disc brakes by pressure oil delivered from the
steering pump through the RCB valve, brake control
valve and/or retarder control valve.
T2-2-1
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
T2-2-2
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
HOIST & BRAKE COOLING CIRCUIT
Return oil from the hoist control valve joins into the oil
delivered from cooling pump that picks up hydraulic oil
from hoist & cooling oil tank as well. The combined oil
is routed to hoist & cooling oil tank via the heat ex-
changer to cool the hydraulic oil to the appropriate
temperature, and the rear wet disc brakes to remove
the heat from the brakes that is produced in normal
braking and retarding.
T2-2-3
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
T2-2-4
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
Body Raise:
To raise the body the operator is required to lift the
electronic hoist control lever to the full raise position.
The four-position spool of hoist control valve shifts into
the RAISE position. (It is necessary to hold the lever
in this position as a centering spring will return the
lever to the hold position.) Oil from the hoist pump
enters the hoist control valve and is directed to the
base ends of the hoist cylinders.
T2-2-5
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
T2-2-6
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
Body Hold:
When the electronic hoist control lever is moved to the
hold position, the four-position spool of hoist control
valve is forced into the HOLD (neutral) position by
both end springs. The base end hoist cylinder oil is
blocked at the hoist control valve. Oil from the pump
enters the hoist control valve and is routed back to
tank. Oil on the rod end of hoist cylinder is open
through a metered port to tank. At this time the body
cannot move down.
T2-2-7
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
T2-2-8
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
Body Float:
To move the electronic hoist control lever from hold to
float it is necessary that the operator overcome a de-
tent mechanism inside the hand controller. Once
moved into the float position the control lever will stay
in this position. The four-position spool of the hoist
control valve shifts into the FLOAT position and allows
the oil from hoist pump to pass through the hoist con-
trol valve and back to return line. The hoist cylinder
base end oil is also open to hoist & cooling system oil
tank via return path.
T2-2-9
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
T2-2-10
SYSTEM / Hydraulic System
Body Power Down:
When the control lever is moved to the power down
position, the four-position spool of the hoist control
valve will shift into the POWER DOWN position. (It is
necessary to hold the lever in this position as a cen-
tering spring tries to return the lever to float position.)
Oil from the hoist pump enters the hoist control valve
and is directed to the rod ends of the hoist cylinders.
An orifice in the control valve spool diverts partial flow
directly to hoist & cooling oil tank limiting flow to rod
ends of the hoist cylinders thus limiting maximum
power down pressure.

STEERING CIRCUIT
The steer pump draws hydraulic oil from the steer
oil tank, charges steering accumulator and supplies
it to steer control valve via RCB valve’s one way
check valve. Pump discharged oil is routed to the
steering cylinders through steer control valve as the
control spool is rotated by the steering wheel.

Steer Right Turn:
Hydraulic oil is drawn through the 100 mesh strainer
in the steer oil tank, and then is gravity fed to the steer
pump. From the steer pump the oil is sent to the
pressure filter, then the RCB valve, where it flows
through a one way check valve. The oil pressure is
sensed at the relief cartridge, set at 22064 kpa (3200
psi) and the bleed down solenoid and sent to the
steering accumulator. The steering accumulator will
be charged to 18960 ± 345 kpa (2750 ± 50 psi).

Wheel Shock Reaction:
If the front tires hit an obstruction on the haul road, the
system would react to relieve this shock pressure to
avoid damaging steering components.

Engine Shutdown/System Bleed Down:
When the engine is shutdown, the bleed-down sole-
noid timer is activated which also activates the
bleed-down solenoid in the RCB valve. The
bleed-down solenoid shifts and exhausts pressure
from the accumulator back to tank.
T2-2-21

BRAKE CIRCUIT
The brake system gets applied oil from the RCB valve
in the steering system and charges the front and rear
brake accumulators. The pressure oil is routed to front
and/or rear brakes through the brake control valve or
retarder control valve as brake control valve spools
and/or retarder control valve spool is shifted.

Service Brake:
When the service brakes are applied with the foot
pedal, both the FRONT, and the REAR plungers

the tank port and open system pressure to the brakes.
The rear brake pressure shifts the shuttle valve in the
retarder valve and pressurizes the rear brakes. The
pressure increases until it exactly balances the spring
compression for that particular plunger position. When
the brake pedal is released, the plunger moves back
relaxing the spring compression; the spools open the
tank port and brake pressure is exhausted.

Retarder:
The retarder control valve functions in the same man-
ner as the brake control valve but it is a single plunger
valve which activates only the rear brakes. Steer sys-
tem pressure is supplied directly to the valve and
does not utilize a secondary accumulator; therefore
the retarder valve is only active with the steering
system charged pressure. Pedal application supplies
regulated pressure which shifts the shuttle valve and
applies the rear brakes. The maximum retard pres-
sure is 8300 kPa (1200 psi). The retarder valve should
be used to control the machine speed when coming
down grades. It may also be used for normal maneu-
vering to maximize front disc brake life.

Load/Dump Brake:
To apply the electric load/dump brake on the center
console, the operator must depress the lower part of
the load/dump brake switch. With the switch in the
‘ON” position, the load/dump brake solenoid is ener-
gized and shifts the solenoid valve, directing full brake
system pressure as pilot pressure to the rear brake
plunger. The rear brake plunger strokes and opens up
the rear brake spool, sending brake apply pressure to
the rear wet disc brakes, 8300 kPa (1200 psi).

Automatic Brake Apply at Low System Pressure:
If the steering system pressure drops below 12410
kPa (1800 psi) the steer warning light, central warning
light and alarm will activate. If the steering pressure
drops below 11376 kPa (1650 psi) the brake warning
light will activate also.
The pressure will now be too low to hold off the sen-
sor spring of low pressure valve; the valve spool will

Circuit Failure:
Should the front circuit lose pressure, the front brake
accumulator will drain as the brakes are applied. The
steering accumulator will also begin to drain; but the
rear brake accumulator is protected by the check
valve and will maintain 18960 kPa (2750 psi). The
central warning, steer and brake warning lights and
audible alarm will be on. The operator will have full
pressure to the rear brakes when the pedal is de-
pressed. The low pressure sensor will automatically
apply the brakes if the alarms are not reacted to by
the operator, however, front pressure may be zero
and rear supply pressure will be less then 9653 kPa

The ECC takes over and constantly analyzing sys-
tem’s electronic temperature sensors (Inside, after
coil, Deice and outside), adjusting individual compo-
nent (Blowers, Heater Valve, A/C Compressor and Air
Mix) to maintain a comfortable climate at all times.
Heat Mode
Interior Temperature is regulated with the electronic
heater valve. Algorithm applied to inside and after coil
sensor data to control heater valve position to achieve
accurate temperature control. A/C compressor will
remain off when heat mode is active.
Cool Mode
Interior Temperature is controlled by cycling of the A/C
compressor. (The A/C compressor will only turn ON
when the outside temperature rises above 10 C and
turns OFF again when it drops below 8 C to prevent
coil from freezing). Inside sensor and after coil sen-
sors are used to control blower speed to hold Setpoint
while minimizing blower noise. When in cool mode,
the heater valve will remain closed.
Defrost Mode
When this mode activated, the heater valve is opened
to full, A/C compressor is on and blower is turned to
full speed. A signal to open a defrost flapper is also
sent.
