The pilot pump receive oil from the hydraulic tank. The discharged oil from the pilot pump flows to
the safety solenoid valve through the line filter. The oil is filtered by the line filter. The pilot relief
valve is provided in the pilot pump for limiting the pilot circuit pressure.
The oil filtered by line filter flows remote control valve through safety solenoid valve.
The return oil flow from remote control valve is returned to the hydraulic tank.

When the lever of the safety solenoid valve is moved upward, oil flows into the remote control valve
through solenoid valve and line filter.
When the lever of the safety solenoid valve is moved downward, oil does not flows into the remote
control valve, because of the blocked port.

When carrying out the combined operation of swing and boom up, the boom up operating speed is
slower than normal operation.
To increase working efficiency, swing speed reducing system is used.
The pilot oil from pilot pump flow into P03 port in main control valve through boom priority EPPR
valve. P03 oil pressure moves swing reducing spool to lower position and oil flow rate to the swing
motor decreased.
Then, the boom up speed is increased. This is called the boom priority system.
The boom up speed can be adjusted by the cluster. Refer to page 3-12 of the operator's manual.

When the travel speed switch is pushed, the travel speed solenoid valve is actuated and the
discharged oil from the pilot pump flows to the Ps port of pilot valve in the travel motors.
As a result, the control piston is pushed by the main oil flow, thus the displacement is minimized.
When the travel speed switch is pushed once more, the travel speed solenoid valve is return to
original position by the force of spring, the hydraulic oil of Ps port returns to the hydraulic tank.
As a result, the control piston is returned by the main oil flow, thus the displacement is maximized.

When the power switch on the left control lever is pushed ON, the power solenoid valve is actuated,
the discharged oil from the pilot pump flows into Pu port of the main relief valve of main control
valve; then the setting pressure of the main relief valve is raised from 350 kgf/cm2 to 380 kgf/cm2 for
increasing the digging power.
And even when pressed continuously, it is canceled after 8 seconds.
When the auto power function is selected to enable on the cluster, the pressure of the main relief
pressure is automatically increased to 380 kgf/cm2 as working condition by the MCU. It is operated
max 8 seconds.

When the arm regeneration is selected to disable on the cluster, the arm regeneration solenoid
valve is activated. The pilot oil from pilot pump flows into Pb4 port in main control valve through
solenoid valve and the arm regeneration spool is shifted to left.
Then, the oil from arm regeneration passage returns to tank and the arm regeneration function is
deactivated.
When the arm regeneration is selected to enable on the cluster, the arm regeneration function is
activated and arm in operation speed is increased.
Refer to page 2-36 for the arm regeneration function.

When one of the RCV lever (except travel lever) is tilted, the pilot oil flows into SH port through main
control valve.
This pressure moves spool so, discharged oil from pilot pump flows into swing motor PG port.
This pressure is applied to swing motor disc, thus the brake is released.
When all of the RCV lever are set in the neutral position, oil in the swing motor disc cylinder is
drained, thus the brake is applied.
