Engine Cooling Fan Circuit
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac-
tion)pump.Thegearpumpsection farthestfromthepis-
ton pump supplies hydraulic flow for the fan drive
manifold and hydraulic engine cooling fan motor (Fig.

runs inthereverse direction. Alower PWMsignal issent
to the PRV valve allowing oil flow to return to the fan mo-
tor but in the reverse direction causing the motor and
cooling fan to run in reverse. The controller determines
the length of time that the fan should be run in reverse
before fan rotation is returned to the forward direction.
The fan drive manifold controls the operation of the hy-
draulic motor that drives the engine cooling fan in addi-
tion to including the flow divider for the steering and lift
circuits. The electronically controlled proportional relief

motor. The fan drive manifold controls the speed and di-
rection of the fan motor based on electrical output from
the TEC--5002 controller.

Oil flow from the gear pump to the cooling fan motor is
controlled by the proportional relief valve (PRV) in the
fan drive manifold. This valve adjusts fan circuit pres-
sure and flow based on a PWM (Pulse Width Modula-
tion)signalfromtheTEC--5002controller.Thecontroller

valve. The fan circuit flow determines the speed of the
cooling fan motor and thus, the speed of the cooling fan.

REVERSE DIRECTION SHOWN
When the engine is shut off, the over--running inertia
load of the fan blades keeps driving the fan motor and

manifold will open to keep the motor circuit full of oil so
the fan motor will not cavitate.

FAN DRIVE
MANIFOLD
The TEC--5002 controller can reverse the cooling fan to
clean debris from the radiator, oil cooler and rear intake
screen. If hydraulic oil and/or engine coolant tempera-
tures increase toan unsuitable level, ahigh PWM signal
is sent to the (PRV) valve to slow the cooling fan and di-
rect pump oil flow to the reservoir. The controller then
energizes solenoid valve (S1) in the fan drive manifold
to reverse cooling fan motor oil flow so that the motor
