HOIST CIRCUIT OPERATION

The following hoist circuit operation description
describes the basic hoist circuit. Details of individual
component operation is outlined under the individual
component descriptions.
Hydraulic fluid is supplied by a tank (10, Figure 7-1)
located on the left frame rail. Hydraulic oil is routed
to a tandem gear type pump (9), driven by a drive-
shaft on the traction alternator.
Pump output is directed to two, high pressure filters
(5 & 7) mounted on the side of the fuel tank.
Hydraulic oil from the filters is directed to the hoist
valve (2), mounted on a modular assembly contain-
ing the hoist pump, steering/brake pump, hoist valve
and counterbalance valve manifold.

HOIST CIRCUIT

The hoist valve directs oil to the body hoist cylinders
(1) for raising and lowering the dump body. Hoist
valve functions are controlled by the operator
through a flexible cable to the hoist pilot valve (6) in
the hydraulic component cabinet located behind the
operator's cab. Also in the hydraulic cabinet is the
hoist-up limit solenoid (4). The hoist-up limit sole-
noid prevents the hoist cylinders from extending to
maximum physical limit. A counterbalance valve in
the overcenter manifold (12) prevents abrupt cylin-
der extension due to material buildup on the tail of
the body.
Quick disconnect fittings (11) allow the use of
another truck's hydraulic system to dump a load in
the body if the hoist pump, hoist valve or related
components are inoperable.

Hydraulic hoses deteriorate w ith age
and use. Prevent possible malfunc-
tions by inspecting all hoses periodi-
cally. Replace any hose show ing
wear, dam age, or deterioration.
