Load Hold Check Valves
Operation 1
The illustration shows 'arms raise' being selected by
the lift ram spool 1.
The weight of the loaded shovel, as indicated by the
arrows, causes a higher pressure in the service line
than in the parallel gallery X. This pressure
differential causes the load hold check valve to
close, thus preventing the load from dropping.
