HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SCHEMATIC (TRUCK)
The pump (12) for the hydraulic system is on the pump drive group. The location of this single section pump is on the top (input shaft) of the pump drive group installed on the left side and between the vehicle frame. The pump operates hoist cylinders (10 and 11) for the truck dump body or the hydraulic components on a unit pulled by the tractor. The pump gets oil through a screen in the hydraulic tank and line (8). The pump oil goes through line (9) to the control valve in the hydraulic tank. When the valve spool in the control valve is in HOLD position (B), the pump oil goes through the control valve and through line (4) to the oil coolers, to the brakes on the rear wheels and then to the tank.
The relief valve (5), in line (4) to the oil cooler for the brakes on the rear wheels, opens when the pressure of the oil is approximately 85 psi (590 kPa).
The relief valve (1), a part of the control valve, opens when the pressure of the pump oil in either lines (6) or (7) gets to approximately 2200 psi (15 200 kPa).
Lines (6) and (7), for the 768C Tractor, go to the gooseneck (hitch) of the unit pulled by the tractor. The ends of lines (6) and (7) at the hitch connect to the oil lines for the hydraulic components in the pulled unit.
Control Lever Positions
The control lever in the cab of the vehicle has linkage that connects it to the valve spool, in the control valve, in the hydraulic tank. The positions of the control valve for the dump body of the 769C Truck are RAISE position (A), HOLD position (B), FLOAT position (C) and LOWER position (D).
The control valve for the 768C Tractor has the same positions and controls the hydraulic components on the unit pulled by the tractor.
A spring on the end of the valve spool, in the control valve, moves the valve spool and the control lever from either RAISE position (A) or LOWER position (D) when the control lever is released. The spring moves the valve spool from RAISE position (A) to HOLD position (B) or the spring moves the valve spool from LOWER position (D) to FLOAT position (C). Detent (3) on the valve spool holds it in HOLD position (B). The control lever must be moved from FLOAT position (C) before the spring on the end of the valve spool can move the lever to HOLD position (B).

Control Valve
A control lever in the cab of the vehicle has linkage that connects it to the valve spool of the control valve in the hydraulic tank. The control lever has four positions. Two of the positions, HOLD and FLOAT are the same for the 768C Tractor and the 769C Truck. The hydraulic components on the unit pulled by the 768C Tractor can either open and close doors or lift and lower a dump body or for some other function. The other two positions for the control lever in the 768C Tractor will not have a position name in this manual. The explanation will be the operation of the control valve in the four positions for the hoist cylinders on the 769C Truck.
Hold Position
The oil from the pump goes into the control valve through inlet (2). With the valve spool (9) in HOLD position (B), the pump oil goes around the valve spool and through passage (6) to the oil coolers, to the brakes on the rear wheels and then to the hydraulic tank.
The HOLD position of the valve spool keeps the oil in passages (7) and (8) and in both ends of the hoist cylinders and the cylinders cannot be moved. The pump oil is also in the spring chamber of the pump valve in relief valve (1).

CONTROL VALVE IN HOLD POSITION
Float Position
Valve spool (9) is held in FLOAT position (C) by four detent balls (5) in the detent groove around the end of the valve spool.
The position of valve spool in FLOAT position (C) lets some of the pump oil go through grooves in the valve spool and into passage (6) to the oil coolers, to the brakes on the rear wheels and then to the hydraulic oil tank. The grooves in the valve spool are restrictions and there is an increase in the pressure of the pump oil in the control valve. The pressure of the pump oil opens check valve (3) enough to let the pump oil go through the check valve, through passage (7) and into the oil chambers for the rod ends of the hoist cylinders. The weight of the dump body on the hoist cylinders pushes the oil from the head ends of the cylinders through passage (8) in the control valve. The oil goes from passage (8) into the hydraulic tank.
The dump body cannot go up when the valve spool is in the FLOAT position because the pump oil only goes to the rod ends of the hoist cylinders. The pressure oil in the rod ends makes a down force on the dump body to keep it in contact with the frame.

CONTROL VALVE IN FLOAT POSITION
Raise Position
The oil from the pump goes into the control valve through inlet (2). With valve spool (9) held in RAISE position, passage (6) is not open to pump oil. When the pump oil cannot go out through passage (6), there is an increase in the pressure of the pump oil. The high pressure of the pump oil opens check valve (3). The pump oil goes through the open check valve, around valve spool (9) through passage (8) and to the head ends of the cylinders. The pump oil in the head ends of the cylinder moves the cylinders toward their extended lengths and the dump body lifts. When the pump oil in the head ends of the cylinders moves the cylinders, the oil in the rod ends of the cylinders is pushed through passage (7) around valve spool (9) and through passage (6) to the oil coolers, to the brakes on the rear wheels and then to the tank.
When the control lever is released, spring (4) on the end of valve spool (9) moves the valve spool and the control lever to the HOLD position.

CONTROL VALVE IN RAISE POSITION
Lower Position
With the valve spool held in the LOWER position (no illustration), the pump oil goes through the inlet into the control valve. The LOWER position of the valve spool in the control valve closes the passages to the oil cooler and there is an increase in the pressure of the pump oil. The high pressure of the pump oil opens the check valve and the oil goes through the check valve, around the valve spool and through the passage to the rod ends of the cylinders. The pump oil in the rod ends of the cylinders and the weight of the body move the cylinders to their retracted positions. The oil in the head ends of the cylinders is pushed from the cylinders through the control valve and through the passage to the tank.
When the control lever is released, the spring on the end of the valve spool moves the valve spool and the control lever to the FLOAT position.
Relief Valve
The relief valve is part of the control valve. The relief valve prevents too high of a pressure in the hydraulic system. The pump oil (6) from the control valve goes through orifice (5) into chamber (3). When the relief valve is closed, the pressure of the oil on both sides of dump valve (4) is the same. Spring (8) holds the dump valve closed.
The relief valve is closed when the pressure of the pump oil is less than the pressure setting of the valve. The pressure setting of the relief valve is approximately 2200 psi (15200 kPa). When the pressure of the pump oil is more than the setting of the relief valve, the pressure of the oil in chamber (3) opens pilot valve (2). The oil in chamber (3) now goes through the open pilot valve and through passage (9) to the tank. The pressure of the oil on the spring side of dump valve (4) is now less than the pressure of the oil in passage (6). The force of the high pressure oil in passage (6) is now more than the force of spring (8) and the pressure of the oil opens dump valve (4). The pump oil in passage (6) goes through the open dump valve and through passage (9) to the tank.

The pressure setting of the relief valve can be changed. Add to shims (1) in the plug or remove shims from under the plug if the pressure setting is low. Remove shims (1) in the plug or add shims under the plug if the pressure setting is high.
Hoist Cylinders (Truck)
Two hydraulic cylinders are used to move the body away from the frame of the truck. When the control lever is held in the RAISE position, the pump oil moves the two stage cylinders to their extended lengths and the body is in dump position.
The hoist cylinders lift the dump body in two stages: The pump oil goes into opening (6) for the head ends of the cylinders. The oil goes through a tube in rod assembly (1) into chamber (5) for the head end of cylinder (3). The pressure of the pump oil in chamber (5) moves cylinder (3).

Chamber (between second stage rod and first stage cylinder). 10. Orifices in rod assembly.
The oil in chamber (8) must now go through grooves (4) in the end of second stage cylinder (2). When cylinder (3) moves against the end of second stage cylinder (2), cylinder (2) moves. The oil in chamber (9) now goes through orifices (10), through hollow rod assembly (1) and out through opening (7) to the hydraulic tank. When cylinder (3) is against the end of cylinder (2) and cylinder (2) is against the end of rod assembly (1), the hoist cylinder is at its extended length.
HOIST CYLINDER SCHEMATIC
(First Stage Cylinder to Extended Length) (Nomenclature same as for cross section of hoist cylinder)
HOIST CYLINDER SCHEMATIC
(Extended Cylinder) (Nomenclature same as for cross section of hoist cylinder)
Move the control lever to either the LOWER or FLOAT position and the body goes down to the truck frame.
When the cylinders are at extended length and the control lever is moved to the LOWER position, pump oil retracts only the second stage cylinder (2). When the second stage gets to retracted length, gravity moves the first stage of the cylinder until the body is on the truck frame.
HOIST CYLINDER SCHEMATIC
(Second Stage Cylinder Retracted) (Nomenclature same as for cross section of hoist cylinder)
The body goes down when the pump oil goes through opening (7) into rod assembly (1), through orifices (10), into chamber (9) between the rod and first stage cylinder (2). The oil pushes cylinder (2) and cylinder (3) down as it fills chamber (9) with pump oil. The weight of the body (gravity) moves cylinder (3) down to its retracted length. The oil in chamber (5) goes through the tube in rod assembly (1), through the flow control valve and through opening (6) to the control valve and to the hydraulic tank. Flow control valve in opening (6) is a restriction to the oil flow from chamber (5). This restriction, to the flow of oil from the cylinder, lets the dump body lower at a slow speed.
