    OPERATION HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC - HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM The system shown is in the LOCKED position (no electrical power to solenoid). System pressure applied to bucket cylinder line “A” or “B” is transferred through valve port C2 or C1 respectively. The pressure is then sent through CV1 or SV2/CV2, through solenoid valve SV1 and charges the head end of the coupler cylinder.
