Intermittent saw button (A) is used in order to adjust the flow rate for the saw. Intermittent saw button (A) sends a current output to the control valve that is located on the base of the boom. The single current output will drive two solenoids simultaneously. The control valve section contains signal limiter valves in order to set the pressure for a specific saw. The signal limiter valves are adjustable for different saws.
Manual saw return button (B) may not be used in all applications. Manual saw return button (B) sends a signal to the control valve which shifts one of the valve sections in the opposite direction. Manual saw return button (B) is also a current output that can adjust the flow to the functions of the saw. However, the intermittent saw valve uses the main pump flow.

Main relief valve (6) has been completely closed. The main relief and the load sensing is controlled by the travel control valve.

If air enters the pilot hydraulic system the valve spools may not move smoothly. The air can be removed from the system through air purge valve (4) when the engine is running.
