The pilot pump receive oil from the hydraulic tank. The discharged oil from the pilot pump flows to
the safety solenoid valve through the line filter. The oil is filtered by the line filter. The pilot relief
valve is provided in the pilot pump for limiting the pilot circuit pressure.
The oil filtered by line filter flows remote control valve through safety solenoid valve.
The return oil from remote control valve returned to hydraulic tank.

When the lever of the safety solenoid valve is moved downward, oil flows into the remote control valve
through solenoid valve and line filter.
When the lever of the safety solenoid valve moved upward, oil does not flows into the remote control
valve, because of blocked by the spool.

When the power max switch on the left control lever is pushed ON, the power max solenoid valve is
actuated, the discharged oil from the pilot pump into Pu port of the main relief valve of main control
valve ; Then the setting pressure of the main control valve is raises from 330kgf/cm2 to 360kgf/cm2 for
increasing the digging power. And even when press continuously, it is canceled after 8 seconds.

When the swing control lever is operated, the pilot oil flows to SH port of shuttle valve, this pressure
move spool so, discharged oil from pilot pump flows to PG port.
This pressure is applied to swing motor disc cylinder, thus the brake released.
When the swing control lever is set neutral position, oil in the swing motor disc cylinder is drain, thus
the brake is applied.

When the travel speed solenoid valve was placed in the Hi position, the pressure oil from pilot pump
through line filter flows to port(Pk) of travel speed change over valve, and the control piston is pushed
up, thus minimizing the displacement.
When the travel speed solenoid valve was placed in the Lo position, the oil of Pk port return to the
tank and the control piston is returned, thus maximizing the displacement.

When the breaker operation mode is selected on the cluster, max flow cut off solenoid valve actuates
automatically. Thus pilot pressure(Pm1,Pm2) is sent to the regulator and pump discharge volume is
decreased.

When carrying out the combined operation of swing and arm of the left control valve, the swing speed
can be lowered than operating speed of arm.
Pc3 pressure from the swing shuttle port(SH) of LH control lever change the swing priority spool and
decreases the oil flow rate to the next section to make the swing operation most preferential.
This is called the swing priority system. For details, refer to page 2-36.
