(17) High-pressure screen

High-pressure screen (17) (if equipped) is located by the transmission oil filler tube on the left side of the machine. High-pressure screen (17) contains a screen that protects the hydraulic system in a component failure. The high-pressure screen may be removed and cleaned.

Case drain filter is located under the access door in the cab platform. Case drain filter provides extra protection of the hydraulic system against contaminants.

Differential pressure switch is for case drain filter.

Breaker relief valve (20) is part of hydraulic oil tank (19) for the steering system and for the braking system. Breaker relief valve (20) controls the amount of vacuum and the amount of pressure buildup in the hydraulic oil tank (19).

(24) Brake pump

Brake pump (24) is a variable displacement piston pump. The brake pump draws oil from hydraulic oil tank (19). A pressure control valve on the pump senses the load requirements of the brake circuit. The pressure control valve then maintains the pressure by upstroking the pump or by destroking the pump.

Check valve (16) is for the brake pump (24). The check valve is located in brake accumulator charging valve (12). This check valve helps to reduce pressure spikes that may be in the brake circuit.

(9) Accumulator for the front service brakes (10) Accumulator for the rear service brakes (12) Brake accumulator charging valve

The brake accumulator charging valve (12) allows the oil to flow to front accumulator (9) and to rear accumulator (10). The brake accumulator charging valve (12) contains the shuttle valve . This action directs the brake oil supply to the brake accumulator.

If the pressure in one accumulator is less than the pressure oil from brake pump (24), the check valve for that accumulator will allow the pressure oil to charge the accumulator. If pressure output from brake pump (24) decreases, check valve (16) will prevent pressure oil from flowing back to the brake pump from the accumulators. The shuttle valve is located in the brake accumulator charging valve (12). If, the pressure drops the accumulators will still receive oil.

The accumulators store energy for the front service brakes (1) and for the rear service brakes (23). Also, the accumulators supply oil for the front service brakes and for the rear service brakes. Also, accumulator (10) stores energy for the parking brake circuit. Accumulator (10) also supplies oil for the parking brake circuit.

(6) Brake pedals

The oil then flows to brake manifold (18). Brake manifold routes the oil to service brake control valve (7). When either brake pedal (6) is depressed, the pressure oil flows through service brake control valve (7). When service brake control valve (7) actuates, pressure oil flows to front service brakes (1) and to rear service brakes (23).

Depressing either brake pedal (6) causes spool movement in service brake control valve (7). This action allows oil from the accumulators to flow to front service brakes (1) and to rear service brakes (23).

(11) Accumulator pressure switch

Pressure switch (11) is for the accumulator for the front and rear service brakes. The location of the pressure switch (11) is shown above.

If the machine is equipped with the Vital Information Management System (VIMS), two oil pressure sensors will be on brake manifold (18). Oil pressure sensor (13) is for the front service brakes. Oil pressure sensor (14) is for the rear service brakes.

(5) Parking brake pressure switch (8) Parking brake control valve

Parking brake release check valve (15) is in the drain line from the parking brake line. The oil also flows into parking brake control valve (8). Accumulator (10) also provides pressure oil for parking brake control valve (8). Pressure oil also flows to parking brake pressure switch (5).

When parking brake control valve (8) moves to the disengaged position, oil from the accumulator flows through parking brake control valve (8). The oil then flows to the parking brake. This causes parking brake (3) to disengage.

Illustration 10	g02712041
Location of parking brake (3) Parking Brake

Parking brake (3) engages automatically when the supply pressure from the accumulators drops below 6890 ± 345 kPa (1000 ± 50 psi). This causes parking brake pressure switch (5) to open.

When the oil pressure increases to approximately 8270 kPa (1200 psi), parking brake pressure switch (5) closes. This action stops the alarm for the Warning Category 3 if the transmission was in a forward speed position or in a reverse speed position. However, if the transmission was in NEUTRAL, the Warning Category 1 would stop.

Parking brake limit switch (4) functions as an override switch for the transmission.

Axle oil cooler pumps (36) and (37) circulate the oil which flows through both axle housings. When cooling for the axle oil is needed, flow from steering pilot pump (38) flows through the ON and OFF diverter valve (40) to drive the cooling motor (39). The cooling motor for the axle oil is mechanically connected to cooling pumps (36) and (37). Output flow from the motor of the axle oil cooler (39) flows to the pilot filter for steering (43) and relief valve (42).

Rear axle oil cooler pump (36) circulates the oil through screen group (27). When the engine is started and the axle oil is cold, the oil from rear axle oil cooler pump (36) cannot easily flow through axle oil cooler (33). The oil pressure will increase in the rear axle oil cooler (33) and thermal bypass valve (28) will open. The thermal bypass valve (28) limits the maximum oil pressure in rear axle oil cooler (33) to 586 ± 69 kPa (85 ± 10 psi). When the temperature of the oil increases, the pressure of the oil decreases. When the spring force is greater than the force of the oil pressure, thermal bypass valve (28) will close. The axle oil flows through axle oil cooler (33). From rear axle oil cooler (33), oil circulates through the rear brake manifold (30) and through the brake housing of rear axle (29).

Front axle oil cooler pump (37) circulates the oil through screen group (26). When the engine is started and the axle oil is cold, the oil from front axle oil cooler pump (37) cannot easily flow through screen group (26). The oil pressure will increase in the front axle oil cooler (34) and thermal bypass valve (35) will open. The thermal bypass valve (35) limits the maximum oil pressure in the front axle oil cooler (34) to 586 ± 69 kPa (85 ± 10 psi). When the temperature of the oil increases, the pressure of the oil decreases. When the spring force is greater than the force of the oil pressure, thermal bypass valve (35) will close. The front axle oil flows through axle oil cooler (34). From front axle oil cooler (34), oil circulates through the front brake manifold (31) and through the brake housing of front axle (32).

(22) Hydraulic oil temperature sensor for the rear service brakes

Hydraulic oil temperature sensor (2) for the front service brakes is on the front axle housing. Hydraulic oil temperature sensor (22) for the rear service brakes is on the rear axle housing.

The hydraulic oil temperature sensors activate a warning in the cab when the temperature of the oil reaches approximately 90°C (194°F). When the temperature of the oil cools to approximately 85°C (185°F), the warning stops.
