Lower Cutting Deck
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac-
tion) pump. The third gear pump section supplies hy-
draulic flow to both the lift/lower control valve and the
steering control valve. Hydraulic flow from this pump
section is delivered to the steering and lift/lower circuits
through a proportional flow divider that is located in the
fan drive manifold. This pump section takes its suction
from the hydraulic reservoir.

oil flow from the rod end of the front deck lift cylinders.
The weight of the cutting deck causes the lift cylinders
to extend, and lower the cutting deck. Oil from the rod
end of the cylinders is allowed to return to the traction
charge circuit. When the lift lever is released, the lift cyl-
inders and cutting deck are held in position.
When the cutting decks are in a stationary position, flow
from the gear pump is by--passed through the lift/lower
control valve, counterbalance manifold, oil filter and
traction charge circuit.
The drop speed of the front cutting deck is regulated by
an adjustable flow control valve that is located in the hy-
draulic lines between the lift/lower control valve and the
front deck lift cylinders.
To lower a side cutting deck, the appropriate lift lever on
the lift/lower control valve is pushed to allow valve shift
in the lift/lower control valve. This valve change causes
a valve shift in the counterbalance manifold and oil flow
to the rod end of the lift cylinder. Higher hydraulic pres-
sureagainst therodendofthecylinder causes thecylin-
der shaft to retract, and lower the cutting deck. Oil from
the piston end of the cylinder returns to the traction
charge circuit. When the lift lever is released, the lift cyl-
inder and side cutting deck are held in position.
Anadjustablecounterbalancevalve(CB)inthecounter-
balance manifold maintains back pressure on the deck
lift cylinders to allow some of the cutting deck weight to
be transferred to the traction unit to improve traction. A
reliefvalve located inthelift/lowercontrolvalve limitslift/
lower circuit pressure to 1500 PSI (103 bar). Excess cir-
cuit flow is routed to the oil filter and then to the traction
charge circuit.
