UNLOADER VALVE SERVICE
Refer to ATB System Diagnosis if an electrical problem has 
occurred.
This crane has three work sections equipped with unloader 
(dump) valves. The functions connected to the unloader 
valves are hoist up, boom down and boom extend. The 
purpose of these unloaders is to stop control oil from 
reaching the functions in the event of a two-blocking 
occurrence or an overload condition. Hydraulic lines extend 
between the unloader valve on each of these sections to a 
single solenoid (dump) valve. The hydraulic oil in these lines 
can drain out over a period of time, when the pump is not 
engaged, or may be lost during servicing the unit. Air may 
enter these lines at such a time. If the unloader hydraulic 
lines have air in them, these three functions may not operate 
or may exhibit a delay in their operation. Note: None of the 
internal parts of the unloader valves are serviceable.
In the event that one of these three functions will not operate 
or operates with a delay and the crane is not overloaded or 
two-blocked, the following air purging procedure should be 
followed. If no improvement is seen after completing the 
following procedure twice, follow the troubleshooting steps 
outlined for checking and inspecting the solenoid valve and 
unloaders in this hydraulic circuit outlined below.
1. Purposely trip the ATB switch to open the solenoid 
(dump) valve.
2. Operate hoist up, boom down and boom extend 
separately for about a minute, longer if the oil is cold.
3. Operate all three functions simultaneously.
4. Release the ATB switch.
5. Check the operation of each function.
6. Repeat procedure if necessary.
In the event that one of these three functions will not operate 
and the crane is not overloaded or two- blocked, the 
following procedure is used to diagnose the problem.
