Lift Circuit: Raise Cutting Decks
A four section gear pump is coupled to the piston (trac-
tion) pump. Gear pump section (P4) supplies hydraulic
flowtotheliftcontrolmanifoldandliftcylinders.Thegear
pump takes its suction from the hydraulic reservoir.
LIFT CIRCUIT: NOT RAISING OR LOWERING
The lift control manifold includes three (3) electrically
operated valves. Solenoid valve (S1) is used to direct oil
flowtoextendtheliftcylinders whenenergized orretract
them when de--energized. Solenoid valve (S2) allows
hydraulic flow from the rod end of the lift cylinders when
energized and prevents oil passage from the lift cylin-
ders when de--energized. Proportional relief valve
(PRV) is used to control the operation of the manifold
logic cartridge (LC)andalsoacts asacircuit reliefvalve.
While operating the machine during conditions of not
raising or lowering the cutting decks (joystick in the neu-
tral (center) position) (Fig. 17), all of the lift manifold
valves (S1, S2 and PRV)arede--energized.Thede--en-
ergized relief valve (PRV) allows hydraulic flow to return
to tank through the manifold. This flow causes a pres-
sure differential that shifts the logic cartridge (LC) which
allows pump flow to bypass the lift cylinders. Flow re-
turns to the oil filter and then to the hydraulic reservoir.

MANIFOLD
Whenthejoystickismovedtotheraiseposition,thecon-
troller energizes theproportional relief valve (PRV).The
energized relief valve (PRV) prevents flow through the
valve which returns logic cartridge LC to the unshifted
position. With lift manifold cartridges in this position,
pump flow is directed to the rod end of all lift cylinders to
retract the cylinders and raise all cutting decks. Flow to
the lift cylinders bypasses the control manifold fixed ori-
fices to prevent flow restriction during deck raising.

Whilethecutting decks are beingraised, theproportion-
al relief valve (PRV) has a secondary function as a cir-
cuit relief to limit lift circuit pressure to 2000 PSI (138
bar). Lift circuit pressure can be monitored at lift control
manifold port G4.
When the joystick is returned to the neutral (center)
position, the proportional relief valve (PRV) is de--ener-
gized. The de--energized relief valve (PRV) allows hy-
draulic flow to return to tank through the manifold. This
flow causes a pressure differential that shifts the logic
cartridge (LC) which allows pump flow to bypass the lift
cylinders. All lift cylinders and cutting decks are held in
the raised position by de--energized valve S2.
