When the travel pedals are not activated, pressure differential relief valve (2) increases the pressure oil from the main pumps at port (P1) to 4000 kPa (580 psi). The pressure differential relief valve is adjustable.

The pumps of the Track Feller Bunchers are now split. One is for the implement circuit and another one is for the travel circuit. The pressure setting for the main relief valve is set at 35500 ± 300 kPa (5149 ± 44 psi) for the Implement valve. The pressure setting for the main relief valve is set at 35500 ± 300 kPa (5149 ± 44 psi) for the travel valve.

Neutral Position

When the travel pedals are in the NEUTRAL position, the valve spools are in the CENTER position. Pressure compensator valve (16) and (18) contains a load hold check valve.

Check valves in control valves (3) and (4) prevent cavitation in the travel circuit.

The signal pressure oil drains from pressure compensator valve (16) and (18). Pressure differential relief valve (2) sets the signal pressure.

Forward Travel

When the operator presses both travel pedals forward, a signal is sent from each travel pedal to the IQAN controller. The IQAN controller sends current to proportional solenoid (9) and (11). The pilot oil flows through proportional solenoid (9) and (11) through orifices and to the valve spool (17) and (19). The orifices prevent valve spools (17) and (19) from moving rapidly. The valve spools move upward.

The pressure oil from the main pumps flows through pressure compensator valves (16) and (18). The oil flows to the left travel motor and the right travel motor. The machine moves in the FORWARD direction. Regardless of the pressure of the main pumps, the pressure compensator valves maintain constant oil flow to the travel motors.

Pressure oil also flows into the resolver network for the signal pressure. The resolver network sends the highest work port pressure to signal duplication valve (14).

The load sensing signal pressure upstrokes the main pumps.

Reverse Travel

When the operator presses both travel pedals in reverse, a signal is sent from each travel pedal to the IQAN controller. The IQAN controller sends current to proportional solenoid (8) and (10). The pilot oil flows through proportional solenoid (8) and (10) through orifices and to the valve spool (17) and (19). The orifices prevent valve spools (17) and (19) from moving rapidly. The valve spools move downward.

The pressure oil from the main pumps flows through pressure compensator valves (16) and (18). The oil flows to the left travel motor and the right travel motor. The machine moves in the REVERSE direction. Regardless of the pressure of the main pumps, the pressure compensator valves maintain constant oil flow to the travel motors.

Pressure oil also flows into the resolver network for the load sensing signal pressure. The resolver network sends the highest work port pressure to signal duplication valve (14).

The load sensing signal pressure upstrokes the main pumps.
