The hydraulic system has hydraulic oil tank (10) which
holds the oil for gear type hydraulic pump (15).
Hydraulic pump (15) sends pressure oil the power
brakes (if equipped), hydraulic and steering systems.
Pump oil flows from pump (15) to priority valve (11)
where the oil folw divides to the power brakes brake
valve (if equipped)(not shown) through line (12) and to
the steering gear through line (16). Oil also flows
through anti-stall valve (20), to hydraulic control valve
(5) and back to hydraulic tank (10).

When the lift truck is at idle speed the hydraulic pump

delivers a low oil flow. If the lift, tilt or auxiliaries are
used the pressure in line (17) will increase and
remote relief valve (18) will dump oil to hydraulic tank
(10). As engine speed is increased, oil flow
increases, anti-stall valve (20) now closes the
passage to remote relief valve (18). With remote
relief valve (18) blocked, normal hydraulic relief
pressures are available.

The control valve levers move the valve spools in

control valve (5) to let the pump oil in the control
valve go to lift cylinders (1) and/or (22), tilt cylinders

Anti-Stall And Remote Relief Valve

The anti-stall valve in combination with the remote

relief valve prevent hydraulic overloads at engine
idle, which could cause excessive vibration and
engine stalling. At engine idle, the anti-stall valve
opens ports to the hydraulic control valve and the
remote relief valve. If the hydraulic control valve is
used, the pressure in the oil line from the priority
valve to the anti-stall valve will increase. This
pressure increase will be limited by the remote relief
valve to 8250 kPa (1200 psi) (6R7072 Relief Valve).
This relatively low system pressure allows for a
smoother engine idle because the engine is not
overloaded by the hydraulic pump with an engine
speed of 700 rpm minimum.

As engine speed increases the hydraulic system oil

flow increases. The anti-stall valve senses this flow
increase and closes the output port to the remote
relief valve. Flow is now directed to the main control
valve only and full system pressure can be achieved.

Flow Control And Relief Valve Flow Control

Earlier design valves were equipped with simple relief

valves in the inlet sections.
The partial flow by-pass system in the LT valve
makes use of a compound type flow control and relief
valve arrangement.

Sensing the pressure drop across an orifice at the

entrance to the by-pass, the valve acting as a control
to limit flow through the by-pass to approximately
seven gallons per minute. The balance of the pump
delivery is diverted through the reservoir passage.
This arrangement greatly reduces pressure drop
through the valve in the neutral position.

the reservoir passage. With flow at less than seven
USgpm there would be negligible pressure drop

would be held closed by the large spring and all flow

Optional flow control valves are available for all
