INTRODUCTION
This section describes the hydraulic system, the
components which make up the hydraulic system, and the
components dependent upon the hydraulic system for their
operation. This includes descriptions of the supply pressure
and return hydraulic circuit, hydraulic pumps, all hydraulic
valves, and all hydraulic cylinders. Detailed descriptions and
operation of individual hydraulic circuits are discussed within
their individual sections as applicable. A complete hydraulic
system schematic showing all options is at the back of this
manual.
Hydraulic System General Overview
A hydraulic system uses liquid to make a transfer of force.
Any force on a confined liquid is applied to any point in the
system that the liquid reaches. Oil is used as the hydraulic
liquid for this system because the liquid must be a lubricant
for the components of the system.
There are several main components in a hydraulic system.
Each component has a specific function in the system.
The pump moves the oil through the system. It is important
to remember that the pump causes the flow, not the pressure
