Solenoid for the Dual Tilt Valve (If Equipped)



Illustration 8g01103814
(11) Dual Tilt Valve Solenoid
(12) Dual Tilt Valve

The dual tilt valve has three modes of operation: dual tilt, single tilt and blade pitch. In dual tilt mode, the dual tilt valve regulates the flow of oil to both tilt cylinders. This flow allows faster tilting and a greater tilt angle. In single tilt mode, oil flows to one cylinder while the other cylinder acts as a brace. Maximum pry out force is achieved. Blade pitch mode allows the operator to change the vertical angle of the blade hydraulically without leaving the cab.

The modes of operation are activated by dual tilt valve solenoid (11).

Dual tilt valve solenoid (11) is located on dual tilt valve (12). Dual tilt valve (12) is located inside the left side of the radiator guard.

Solenoid for the Pin Puller Valve (Ripper) (If Equipped)

(14) Pin Puller Valve

If the machine is equipped with a single shank ripper, a pin puller cylinder and pin puller valve (14) may be installed. The pin puller cylinder allows the depth of the shank to be easily adjusted. Flow of power train oil to the pin puller cylinder is regulated by the pin puller valve. The pin puller valve is activated by pin puller solenoid (13).

Pin puller valve (14) is mounted to the rear of the transmission case. Pin puller solenoid (13) is located on pin puller valve (14).
