Circuit Description
Oil from the hydraulic pump 2 enters the loader valve 3 (brake and steer circuits not shown). From the loader valve, the oil
passes to flow diverter valve 8. This valve establishes a priority (and controlled) flow to the hydraulic tool circuit (HTC), if the
hydraulic tool circuit (HTC) has not been selected, the oil passes from port B of valve 8 to the backhoe valve 4. From the
backhoe valve the oil returns to the hydraulic tank 1 via an in-line filter (not shown).
When the hydraulic tool circuit (HTC) is selected, a solenoid inside the diverter valve 8 is energised, this causes the flow of oil
inside the valve to be diverted to port P and on to the hydraulic tool circuit (HTC) via quick release couplings 6. Oil returning
from the circuit returns directly to tank 1 via hose C. The flow of oil from port P is regulated regardless of changes in load
pressure or pump flow. Any excess flow (anything over 20 litres/min) is distributed to port B for use in other actuators (e.g.
backhoe valve).
The diverter valve 8 also incorporates a relief valve, when the pressure in the priority circuit (port P) exceeds the setting of the
relief valve all oil flow is returned directly back to tank via hose D.
