Overview
The numbers in the text preceded by an H, for example, H13, re-
fer to the hydraulic system diagram. The numbering in the differ-
ent illustrations is common with the hydraulic system diagram.
The hydraulic system consists of the following sub-systems:
Working hydraulics that include:
– Servo hydraulics that supply pressure to the electro-hy-
draulic servo system
– Extension and retraction of the boom
– Lift and lowering of the boom
Attachment hydraulics (see group 80)
– Rotation of the yoke (hydraulic motor)
– Length adjustment of top-lift (hydraulic motor)
– Side-shift of top-lift
– Locking/release of twist-locks
Foot brake system
– WDB system, hydraulically controlled, oil-cooled multiple
brake discs with external cooling
Parking brake system, disk brake on the drive axle's ingoing
axle, spring activated with hydraulic release.
Steering system

Electro-hydraulic servo system, principles


The working hydraulics are controlled via an electro-hydraulic
servo system, the principle components of which are illustrated
on the next page.
All hydraulic system functions are controlled via three independ-
ent sub-systems:
– El-servo
– hydraulic-servo
– working hydraulics
The el-servo system is controlled by the ECU2 central computer
unit as part of the truck's ECS system. Descriptions of the servo
circuits can be found in group 20, under the ECU2 section.
From ECU2, digital or analogue signals are fed to the control le-
ver. The signals are affected by the degree of movement of the
control lever, after which they are fed back to and processed in
ECU2.
The out-signals for LIFT/LOWER and BOOM OUT/IN from ECU2
are fed to converters (H14 and H15) on the main valve H16. The
converters are electrically controlled pressure reduction valves
that convert the electrical signal to a proportional hydraulic pres-
sure - servo pressure.
The servo pressure affects the control slide in the main valve for
the function in question and from there, the main flow.
Main valve 13 has no converter but obtains its servo pressure
from the converter for the main valve 16.
The pressure regulator valve for the servo circuit obtains its hy-
draulic pressure from pump 2 and provides 30-35 bar servo pres-
sure to the converters on the main valves of the truck and
attachments and for release of the parking brake.

Working hydraulics, feed, standard system


The trucks working hydraulics are fed from five different pumps.
Pumps H2 and H3 are double variable axial piston pumps that
feed the main valves for lift and boom extension as well as the
steering system's priority valve. Both pumps are connected to-
gether and can therefore be regarded as a single pump. The non-
return valve H6 ensures that the pumps cannot interfere with
each other.
The priority valve H10, ensures that there is always pressure to
the steering system and thereafter, that there is servo pressure
via the pressure regulator valve H10a and that the residual flow
goes to lift and boom extension.
Pump H3b feeds the different attachment functions.
Pump 5 is a fixed vane type pump that feeds the brake system's
brake and cooling circuits via an accumulator charging valve H21.
Both main valves are connected in parallel, both for servo and
main flows, which takes maximum advantage of pump capacity
for lift and boom extension.
The pumps draw fluid from the hydraulic tank that is located on
the right hand side of the truck. The pressurized fluid travels from
the pumps to the high pressure filter for cleaning prior to circulat-
ing in the system.
The hydraulic system is controlled, from the cab, with a joystick.

System with separate tank for brake system

Certain machines are equipped with a separate hydraulic tank for


the brake system. The brake system is fed, as with the standard
system, by means of the fixed pump 5 and is cooled by means of
the hydraulic fluid cooler 41.
Working hydraulics are complemented with a separate fixed
pump 44 for circulation in the cooling circuit through the hydraulic
fluid cooler 45.
Otherwise, the system works in the same way as the standard
system.

The double variable pumps H2 and H3 are controlled by load sig-


nals (LS). The flow requirement in each function determines the
degree of pump output. The outer pump H3b receives LS-signal
from the priority valve H10. In the H3 LS-line is a solenoid valve
H40 which, when deactivated, drains H3b LS-connection to tank.
(See hydraulic diagram and pictures following pages). This will
happen when any gear is engaged and the parking brake is OFF,
e.g., when the truck is transporting. During lifting, when the gear-
box is in neutral or when the gearbox is disengaged, the solenoid
valve H40 is activated and the pump H3b works normally.
Another solenoid valve, H42, loads pump H3b for feeding the
attachment when any of the attachment functions are affected,
regardless of whether the truck is standing still or in transport
mode.

Lift
Both lift cylinders are, on the piston side, provided with valve
blocks (H17) which contain blocking valves.
When the lift cylinder is in the bottom position and the lift lever is
768-11,13 not touched, the blocking piston is held in the closed position by
spring pressure as well as by blocking pressure through the
solenoid valve. When lifting, hydraulic fluid is fed to the inlet VA,
the piston opens and releases fluid through port C+ to the lift cyl-
inder. Opening pressure is 2.5 bar.
The valve holds the load by means of fluid pressure from the lift
cylinder to port C+. The pressure is choked as blocking pressure
and presses the piston towards the closed position.
(S14)H17d The blocking valves prevent communication between lift cylin-
ders, which, in turn, prevents any twisting of the boom with
uneven loads.
The lift cylinders are connected in parallel and are fed from both
main valves with the combined capacity from the hydraulic sys-
tems four variable pumps.

Boom extension and retraction


The extension cylinder is fed with hydraulic pressure from a sec-
tion of each of the main valves. In this way advantage can be
taken of the flow from all four hydraulic pumps.
In each of the feed lines there is a lowering (retraction) brake
valve with pressure compensated choking, which prevents the
H19b(S18) boom from being retracted too quickly due to the load. This also
functions as hose protection.
H19
Regeneration
For unloaded lift, i.e., low pressure in the lift circuit, the regener-

considerable additional boom extension speed as the flow to the
cylinder increases.

Hydraulic fluid
The hydraulic-fluid tank is located on the right-hand side of the
truck.
Check the fluid level on the fluid sight-glass, with all hydraulic pis-
tons in the bottom positions.
Top up the hydraulic fluid as necessary. See the Specification for
the oil grades.
If the truck has an oil-cooled wet disc brake system, any hydraulic
oil used for topping-up should contain 6% of Lubrizol additive
which is necessary for good performance of the brake system.
The additive is not consumed during normal operation and must
only be added at oil change and refill. Lubrizol may be ordered
from Kalmar Service department.

IMPORTANT!
Systems with separate tank for the brake system:
The hydraulic fluid for the brake system must never
contain any additives.

WARNING!

Hydraulic fluid is chemically


aggressive. Avoid extended contact with the skin.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Hydraulic oil filter


The high pressure filter for the hydraulic oil must be changed at
the intervals specified in the lubrication chart. In addition, the filter
must always be changed whenever work has been carried out on
the hydraulic system.
The filter contains a by-pass valve which opens at a counter pres-
sure of 7 bar in case the filter should be clogged by impurities.

1. Clean the outside of the filter and the area around it.
2. Place a vessel under the filter to collect any spillage.
3. Empty the filter bowl by unscrewing the drain plug.
4. Unscrew the filter bowl.
5. Slide off the filter cartridge.
6. Replace the two O-rings between the filter head and the filter
bowl.
The O-rings are included with the filter cartridge.
Moisten the O-rings with hydraulic fluid prior to fitting.
7. Remove the filter cartridge from its packaging and immedia-
tely fit it.

Hydraulic oil filter for the servo hydraulics


The high-pressure filter filters the circulating servo oil to protect
the components downstream of the filter and prevent malopera-
tion.
A by-pass valve opens at 3.5 bar if the filter should become
clogged.
The filter contain a cartridge which should be changed every
1000 hours of operation.

1. Unscrew the bottom section of the housing and withdraw the


cartridge downwards.
2. Fit a new cartridge, check the O-ring and refit the bottom sec-
tion of the housing.

ContChamp DRD-S Steering system 02-03
Technical Handbook Description Group 70 P. 17

Steering system
The steering system is fed from hydraulic pump 2.
A priority valve ensures that the steering valve always has suffi-
cient fluid. The residual flow goes to the working hydraulics.
From the ORB2 connection on the priority valve there is always a
certain signal pressure in communication with the steering
valve's pressure connection. As soon as the steering wheel is
moved, this, via the steering cylinder circuit, will give a load signal
LS back to the priority valve (LSO-connection), which shifts posi-
tion and feeds out sufficient pump capacity to the steering valve.
The pressure in the steering system is determined by a relief
valve in the priority valve (10d).

Steering valve
The steering valve is of the closed-centre, non-reaction type with
a load signal connection to the priority valve. The load signal en-
sures load-dependent control of the flow from the priority valve to
the steering valve. The closed-centre feature means that the
valve shuts off the flow between the pump and the tank when the
valve is in the neutral position. This is necessary to enable a sig-
nal pressure to be connected to the steering valve.
The steering valve consists of a gear pump and a distribution
valve. When the steering valve is turned, fluid is supplied from the
steering pump across the gear pump to the distribution valve,
which ensures that the flow will be supplied to the port corre-
sponding to the direction in which the steering valve has been
turned. The gear pump ensures that the flow supplied to the cyl-
inder will be proportional to the angle through which the steering
wheel has been turned. If the flow from the steering pump should
cease, the steering valve will automatically perform as a manual
pump, i.e. some degree of emergency control will still be availa-
ble.

A valve block with built-in double shock and suction valves is con-
nected to the steering valve. The shock valves opening at 280
bar, prevent pressure surges caused by blows against the
steered wheels from being propagated to the steering valve. The
suction valves open to prevent vacuum on the opposite side of
the piston, which could lead to cavitation.

Priority valve
The priority valve apportions the flow of fluid from the pump H2
so that a sufficient flow always goes to the steering valve.
The priority valve is built into a valve block that also contains the
pressure regulator valve for the servo system.
Steering valve H8-LS is fed with a dynamic load signal, a flow of
2-3 l/min. continually circulates from the priority valve connection
H10-LSO to the control valve. When the steering wheel is turned
this flow is shut off and pressure builds up. The pressure acti-
vates pump H2 and resets priority valve H10c for feeding of the
steering valve H8 (P).
When the steering wheel is not turned, all the flow from the pump
goes to main valve of the working hydraulics, H13, with the ex-
ception of a minor flow that feeds the servo system via pressure
reduction valve H10a.
The pressure reduction valve H10d is adjustable and determines
the steering pressure.

WDB brake system


This system is known as the wet disc brake system, in which each
hub is equipped with a multiple-disc assembly.The disc assembly
comprises stationary discs arranged alternately with a number of
rotating discs. The disc assembly is compressed by hydraulic
pressure to provide effective braking action. The assembly is sub-
merged in a hydraulic oil bath to dissipate the heat generated by
braking. A separate cooling circuit is provided to cool the hydrau-
lic oil.
The advantages of the wet disc brake system include the fact that
no adjustment is needed, and that no fading or wear occur. More-
over, the enclosed oil bath keeps the system completely free from
water and impurities.
The wet disc brake system comprises three separate hydraulic
circuits, i.e. the foot-brake circuit, the cooling circuit and the park-
ing brake circuit. All circuits are supplied with hydraulic fluid under
pressure from a fixed vane-type pump. The brake circuits are
supplied from four hydraulic accumulators and the cooling circuit
is supplied directly from the pump.
The pump feeds a charging valve which ensures that a minimum
pressure will always be maintained in the accumulators. During
the charging process, the charging valve serves as a priority
valve, so that a certain residual flow will be supplied to the cooling
circuit. If the engine runs at no load, the residual flow may be so
small that the flow in the cooling circuit will temporarily stop.
When the accumulator has been charged to full pressure, the
charging valve transfers the entire pump flow to the cooling cir-
cuit.
N.B. Certain machines have a separate tank for the brake
system.

Cooling circuit
When the accumulators are charged, oil is fed to the cooling oil
cavities in the drive axle. A by-pass valve between the supply and
return lines ensures that the cooling oil pressure will not exceed
1,5 bar, in order to protect the drive axle.
The feed is carefully cleaned through filters. The hydraulic fluid is
cooled by means of a fluid cooler. Machines with a separate tank
for the brake system have one hydraulic fluid cooler for the wor-
king hydraulics and one for the brake system.

Main components of the brake system


Numbering refers to system illustrations and hydraulic
diagram (H).

5. Hydraulic pump, which generates the brake pressure and is


driven by a power take-off on the variable pump.
21. Accumulator charging valve, serving as a priority valve which
gives first priority to the brake system. The remaining flow is
delivered to the cooling circuit.
22. Accumulators which are charged by the accumulator charg-
ing valve, are pre-charged with nitrogen and ensure that pres-
sure will be available in the brake circuit even if the engine
should temporarily stop.
23. Accumulator evacuation valve, opened for emptying of accu-
mulator to the tank before any work is carried out on the hy-
draulic system. Valve 25 must be opened when draining the
system.
24. Safety valve 210 bar
25. Valve for reserve servo pressure. Used in emergency situa-
tions if the engine does not run and servo pressure is needed
for the working hydraulics. When draining the system, both
this valve and the accumulator evacuation valve (23) should
be opened.
29. Brake pedal. Supplies oil at a reduced pressure from the ac-
cumulator to the drive axle disc brake assembly.
30. Disc assemblies in the wheel hubs.
31. Release clutch switch, disengages the transmission at a giv-
en brake pressure.
32. Sensor, brake lights
33. Sensor, low brake pressure (accumulator pressure), acti-
vates lamp 45 on the instrument panel
34. Parking brake valve which supplies fluid at a reduced pres-
sure from the accumulator to the parking brake cylinder when
the parking brake is released. Sensor 31 switches on the
parking brake warning lamp when the parking brake is ap-
plied, and also initiates a signal to a buzzer in the cab to indi-
cate that the operator has left the seat without applying the
parking brake.
36. Parking brake cylinder. Actuated by a heavy spring when the
brake is applied, i.e. when the oil has been discharged
through the parking brake valve. The brake is released by hy-
draulic oil from the parking brake valve.

Accumulator
The hydraulic system is connected to membrane type accumula-
tors which are pre-charged with nitrogen (100 bar). The mem-
brane is forced upward causing the pressure of the nitrogen in
increase as the accumulator becomes charged with hydraulic flu-
id. When the hydraulic system requires power from the accumu-
lator, the membrane presses fluid back into the system.
The accumulator is fitted at the top with a connection for testing
22 the pressure of the nitrogen, and for refilling nitrogen with the aid
of special filling equipment. Contact KALMAR spare parts.
Part. No. 923120–0542.
The pressurized fluid from the accumulator is utilized to power
the driving brake and parking brake systems.
A special valve (25) can be used to provide reserve servo pres-
sure to the working hydraulics.
An evacuating valve 23 is fitted between the accumulator and res-
KL591 ervoir. This valve shall be used to relieve the accumulator of pres-
sure before carrying out any work on the hydraulic syste m.
At the same time, the valve for reserve servo pressure (25)

Accumulator charging valve


The function of the accumulator charging valve is to divert the
pump flow to the accumulator whenever the latter needs charg-
ing. This ensures that the brake system is given priority and is
first to receive oil.
When the accumulators are fully charged, the entire flow from
pump 5 is fed to the brake cooling circuit
During charging, the pump delivers oil through a check valve to
the accumulator. A restriction limits the flow to a maximum of ap-
prox. 17 l/min. At the same time, pilot oil pressure is supplied
across the pilot valve to the main valve, where it is added to the
spring force and keeps the main valve closed.
When the accumulator has been charged, the oil pressure from
the accumulator overcomes the spring force in the pilot valve
which changes over and relieves the pilot pressure to the tank.
The main valve changes over and opens the connection to the
cooling circuit motor.
The difference between the pressures at which charging is start-
ed and stopped is determined by the difference in area between
the pressure and tank connections of the valve, and amounts to
about 18% of the pressure at which charging is stopped, i.e.
about 27 bar at a pressure of 150 bar and about 30 bar at 165 bar.

Hydraulic brake pedal


The hydraulic brake pedal consists of a direct-acting pressure-re-
ducing valve of three-way type designed for continuously variable
mechanical operation. The pressure-reducing valve consists of
the components shown in the figure.
When stop 4 is depressed by the pedal, the main spring acts on
the control piston which moves and closes outlet T to the tank.
The circuit between pressure connection P and brakeline B is
then opened. As the pressure in the brake line increases, a pilot
pressure will act on the control piston through the pilot orifice,
counteracting the main spring load. As a result, the brake pres-
sure will increase in proportion to the force exerted on the pedal.
If the pedal force is maintained constant, the brake line pressure
will also be constant.
When the pedal is released, the spring returns the control piston
so that it closes the connection between P and B, simultaneously
opening a connection between B and T to relieve the brake pres-
sure to the tank.

Parking brake
The parking brake consists of a disc brake with a brake cylinder
on the drive axle input shaft. The brake is applied by a heavy
spring in the brake cylinder.
The parking brake can also be used as an EMERGENCY
BRAKE. During emergency braking, the brake linings are sub-
jected to very heavy wear. The linings should therefore be
changed after any emergency braking operation.
The parking brake is released by hydraulic pressure being sup-
plied to the cylinder to counteract the spring force. All supply is
controlled by a manual valve which is open when the parking
brake is released.
When the parking brake is applied, the flow of oil to the brake cyl-
inder is interrupted and the oil in the cylinder is discharged to the
tank. The brake is then applied by the spring.
If the accumulator pressure should drop below 115 bar, the warn-
ing lamp low BRAKE PRESSURE will light up on the instrument
panel.
Parking brake valve
The parking brake valve is a direct-acting, three-way pressure-re-
ducing valve. The pressure output is continuously variable, al-
though for practical use in the parking brake system, the valve
can be regarded as an ON/OFF valve.
To prevent inadvertent application of the parking brake, the lever
is provided with a latch which must be raised before the lever can
be moved.

Adjusting the WDB brake system


The engine and hydraulic system should be at normal operating
temperature before adjustments are carried out. Always check
that the engine stopping device is working.
The various pressures for the machine are given on a separate
plate attached to the machine.

1. Check the pre-charging pressure of the accumulators, see


separate section.
Check the accumulator charging pressure, engine stopped.
– Connect a pressure gauge (0–250 bar) to the measure-
21
ment tapping on the accumulator charging valve 21.
– Use the accumulator evacuating valve to discharge the ac-
cumulator.
– Close the valve 23, start the engine, allow the accumulator
to be charged and read the charging pressure. Adjust the
accumulator charging valve as necessary.
– If the adjustment must be repeated, evacuate the accumu-
lators again, let them recharge, read the new charging
pressure, and so on.
2. Bleed the brake circuit.
– A bleed nipple is provided on the inside of each drive axle
hub. Use a piece of hose to discharge the oil into a suitable
container.
– Open the bleed nipple, depress the brake pedal and let the
oil flow out of the nipple until it is completely free from air
bubbles. Shut off the nipple while the brake pedal is still de-
pressed.
– Repeat the bleeding for the other hub.
KL1420
Check the pressure from the brake pedal.
– Connect a pressure gauge to the measurement tapping on
the brake pedal valve (below the operator's cab)
– Depress the pedal fully and read the pressure, which
should be according to the hydraulic system plate. Leave
the pressure gauge in position.
3. Stop the engine and check that there is no leakage at the
pedal.
– Depress the pedal and read the pressure on the pressure
Bleed gauge. The pressure should be the same as in item 4
nipple above and must not drop for 15 seconds.
– Release the pedal, and the pressure should then drop to 0.
If not, the brake valve is leaking and may cause the brake
to remain applied while the truck is being used, and thus
overheat.
4. Use the accumulator evacuating valve 23 to release the pres-
sure from the accumulator.
5. Start the engine and run it until full pressure is achieved
6. Stop the engine and check that the brakes can be applied 6-8
times before the pressure drops to 70 bar. The
warning lamp 45 for low brake pressure should light up at 115
bar pressure.

Variable axial piston pump


The two double variable pumps H2 and H3 that feed the lift, boom
extension and top lift are variable axial piston pumps with five pis-
tons placed in a cylinder rotor. The stroke length of the pistons is
determined by the position of an angled pressure plate. The pis-
tons are secured in slip-shoes that rotate against the pressure
plate. The stroke volume area and the area within the pistons are
filled with hydraulic fluid during the suction phase. During the
pressure phase, the hydraulic fluid is fed into the pressure lines
via a valve plate. A hole in the head of each of the pistons allows
hydraulic fluid to be forced out and gives a balanced counter
pressure from the pressure plate as well as a film of fluid that lu-
bricates the surfaces and inhibits wear.

Main valve
The main valve is a load-sensing, pressure-compensated direc-
tional control valve of modular type. In the hydraulic system there
are two units, each one comprising:
Inlet section
5 Control section
Combined control and outlet section

The inlet section is provided with a shunt valve and a main pres-
9 sure limiting valve.
The main pressure limiting valve is pilot-controlled and opens the
4
connection to the tank by moving the spool when the preset pres-
3 sure is reached.

The control section is equipped with a check valve (10) in the


supply passage to prevent inadvertent lowering of the load when
several functions are operated simultaneously. The control sec-
8
tions incorporate load sensing valves (4) for transmitting the load
signal to the variable pumps/loading of pumps.
3 The load signal valve employs the load pressure to control a
spool which, in turn, is supplied with oil from the supply passage
for controlling the shunt valve. The design permits the circulation
10 of a small constant flow in the load signal circuit, thereby ensuring
a supply of warm oil for fast and accurate control.

2 The outlet section has a tank connection and connection for the
7 load-sensing signal.
The valve spools are spring-centered and controlled by hydraulic
servo pressure.

Main valve
The main valves are of precision type and must be handled with
great care to safeguard their good performance. The following
rules apply to service work:

1. Never use the spool ends or housings for clamping or


gripping when lifting a valve block.
2. Never subject spool ends or housings to blows or shocks.
Rough treatment may deform the spool, which will lead to im-
mediate seizure.
3. Protect the valves from moisture and dirt. Take particular care
to prevent dirt from entering the connection ports. Protect the
ports and other joint faces to prevent scoring and
bruising. Keep unconnected ports plugged with plastic plugs
or the like.
4. When fitting pipes and hose couplings, observe meticulous
