Operation 1
The illustration shows 'arms raise' being selected by the lift
ram spool 3B.
The weight of the loaded shovel, as indicated by the arrows,
produces a higher pressure in service line Y than in the
parallel gallery X.
This pressure differential causes load hold check valve 3H to
close, thus preventing the load from dropping.
Operation 2
As the neutral circuit has been blocked by the central lands
of the selected spool 3B, the pressure in parallel gallery X
increases until it is greater than that in service line Y.
At this point, load hold check valve 3H opens, allowing oil to
flow from the parallel gallery into the service line and operate
the lift rams 24 and 25.
