SWING
Swing Lock
1) The swing-brake solenoid is activated allowing the spring-applied brake to fully apply.
2) The swing-shutoff solenoid is activated, hydraulically locking the swing spool.
3) This swing lock condition is maintained, even if the key switch is turned “OFF” and
“ON” again.
With the swing-brake switch ON, the swing brake is maintained and the swing control valve is
locked into the neutral position.
When the swing-brake switch on the control panel is switched ON, a signal is sent to the
controller. The controller sends 24v to energize the swing-brake solenoid valve. The valve
shifts and connects the swing-brake release circuit to tank and allows the brake to apply. The
controller also sends 24v to energize the swing shut-off solenoid valve. The valve shifts and
sends pilot pressure (550/600 psi) through a shuttle valve to both sides of the swing control
spool in the main control valve and hydraulically locks it in neutral. The swing-brake and
swing-shutoff solenoids are located in the six-solenoid valve bank, located in the pump
compartment. The swing shuttle valve is located behind the cab.
