TMS700E SERVICE MANUAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
SWING BRAKE RELEASE VALVE
(OPTIONAL)
Description
The swing brake release valve (Figure 2-36) is used when
the crane is equipped with the trailing boom option. It is
located on the right side of the turntable, near the front. The
valve is used to keep the swing brake released when the
boom is in the trailing mode which is necessary to allow the
boom to swing for roading. This is done in the valve internally
by routing oil from the accumulator to the brake release port
keeping the brake released.
Incorporated within the valve is a check valve, two manually
operated valve cartridges, an accumulator, a pressure
gauge, and a pressure switch.
The two manually operated valves (FC1 and FC2) are used
to route pressure to the swing brake release port for either
craning or trailing boom operation. In the trailing boom mode,
FC1 is open and FC2 is closed. In the craning mode, FC1 is
closed and FC2 is open.
