The oil delivery for the swing hydraulic circuit is supplied by idler pump (32) only. When either one of the joysticks (swing, stick, boom and/or bucket) is moved from the NEUTRAL position, swing parking brake (4) is released. Motor rotary group (5) is allowed to rotate. When the joystick for the swing function is moved from the NEUTRAL, swing priority valve (24) is activated. The swing motor is mounted on top of the swing drive. The swing drive is installed on the upper structure. The swing drive reduces the motor speed by two stages. The swing drive rotates the upper structure.

Swing Right

When the joystick is moved to the SWING RIGHT position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (29) flows through line (13) to shift swing control valve (15) downward. Oil from idler pump (32) flows through parallel feeder passage (22) to load check valve (20). The oil then flows through passage (19), through swing control valve (15), through passage (17), and into line (8). The hydraulic oil flows through line (8) to motor rotary group (5). The motor rotary group rotates and the upper structure swings to the right.

Return oil from motor rotary group (5) flows through line (9), through passage (16), and into swing control valve (15). The oil flows from the swing control valve and through passage (21) to the hydraulic tank.

When the joystick is moved to the SWING LEFT position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (29) flows through line (26) to shift swing control valve (15) upward. Oil from idler pump (32) flows through parallel feeder passage (22) to load check valve (20). The oil then flows through passage (19), through swing control valve (15), through passage (16), and into line (9). The hydraulic oil flows through line (9) to motor rotary group (5). The motor rotary group rotates and the upper structure swings to the left.

Return oil from motor rotary group (5) flows through line (8), through passage (17), and into swing control valve (15). The oil flows from the swing control valve and through passage (21) to the hydraulic tank.

Swing Parking Brake

OFF Position

Pilot oil from pilot pump (34) flows through pilot manifold (31) to solenoid valve (30). Pilot oil also flows through line (27) and into the pilot logic circuit inside main control valve (11). While the implement controls and the swing control are in the NEUTRAL position, implement pressure switch (12) is OFF and solenoid valve (30) is not energized. Since the solenoid is not energized, pilot oil does not flow through line (2) and swing parking brake (4) is engaged. If only the travel controls are moved from the NEUTRAL position, the swing parking brake will not be released.

ON Position

When any joystick is moved from the NEUTRAL position, pilot oil pressure increases and implement pressure switch (12) is ON. Since solenoid valve (30) is energized, pilot oil from pilot pump (34) flows through solenoid valve (30) to line (2). The oil flows through line (2) to swing parking brake (4) and the pilot oil releases the swing parking brake. Since the implement pressure switch is turned ON prior to the opening of the swing control valve, the swing motor only operates after the swing parking brake has been released by the pilot oil from line (2).

When the control valves for the implements or for swing are in the NEUTRAL position, the pilot oil pressure decreases. Since solenoid valve (30) is not energized, the oil in line (2) does not flow to swing parking brake (4). The oil in the swing parking brake flows through passage (1) to motor rotary group (5). The oil flows through the motor rotary group through the case drain line back to the hydraulic tank. Swing parking brake (4) begins to be applied and stops the motor rotary group.

When the swing joystick is moved from the NEUTRAL position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (29) flows through line (13) and shifts swing control valve (15). Also, pilot oil flows through line (25) to swing priority valve (24).

When the swing joystick is in the NEUTRAL position, the oil from idler pump (32) flows through parallel feeder passage (22) to swing priority valve (24). The oil flows from the swing priority valve through passage (18) to stick I control valve (14).

When the swing joystick is moved from the NEUTRAL position, pilot oil pressure increases in accordance to the travel of the swing joystick. The pressure oil flows through passage (39) and the oil shifts stem (36) upward against the force of spring (38) and spring (37). The oil from parallel feeder passage (22) is restricted at passage (35) to stick I control valve (14). Most of the oil from idler pump (32) flows through swing control valve (15) to swing motor (6). This action allows the machine to provide the bucket with the optimum lateral force in accordance to the travel distance of the swing joystick.
