In a low pressure standby situation, the implement circuit and the steering circuit do not demand any oil from hydraulic and steering pump (9). Hydraulic and steering pump (9) sends low pressure oil to combination valve (7). The low pressure oil flows through implement supply line (3) to right valve group (1) and to left valve group (13). Since the valve groups do not require any flow, the pump destrokes and the flow is reduced to a minimum.
Hydraulic oil also flows to steering metering pump (4) through supply line (11). Since pump (4) does not demand any oil flow, the oil flows through an internal orifice in pump (4). The oil then flows back to the hydraulic tank through line (5). The steering signal acts upon pressure and flow compensator valve (8) in order to keep pump (9) at a low pressure standby situation.
