Hydraulic pressure from the accessory pump flows through
the pressure control pilot valve, the six bank manifold valve,
and enters the free-flow check valve section of the
counterbalance valve. Fluid pressure on the rod end of
selected jack cylinder retracts the jack cylinder to lower the
counterweight base.
Hydraulic fluid from the piston end of the jack cylinder is
blocked by the free-flow check valve section of the
counterbalance valve and the flow restraining section of the
relief valve preset for a relief setting of approximately 138 bar
(2,002 psi). The piston end cylinder pressure opens the
restraining section of the counterbalance valve, allowing fluid
to exit the valve. Return hydraulic fluid passes through the
six bank manifold valve before returning to the crane
hydraulic tank through the return line.
When the desired jack cylinder retraction is reached, release
the selected jack switch to lock the jack cylinder(s) in
position. Hydraulic fluid at the piston end of the jack cylinder
counterbalance valve supports the weight and the gravity
force of the wheeled counterweight assembly.
When the selected jack switch is released, an input signal is
sent to the Node-1 controller. The Node-7 controller sends a
zero volt output to the hydraulic solenoid HS-75 to the return
valve to the center position.
Node-3 sends a variable voltage output to the accessory
system proportional relief solenoid HS-68 to provide
approximately 28 bar (406 psi) system pressure.
