Operation
General
This section contains a description and repair procedures for the main control valve used in the hydraulic
system.
Description
The main control valve controls the operation of the
steering, lift, tilt, and auxiliary cylinders. The main
control valve is fastened to a bracket located on the
right side of the lift truck.
The main control valve assembly is divided into the
following sections:
• Inlet section
• Steering control section
• Lift and lower section
• Tilt section
• Auxiliary section
Additional auxiliary sections can be added to the
main control valve to control optional auxiliary func-
tions.
The end section and any additional optional auxil-
iary sections are attached to the control valve with 3
through bolts.
Each spool has a spring that returns the spool to
the NEUTRAL position when the control lever is re-
leased.
The main control valve contains three pressure relief
valves. One for the steering section, one for the lift
section, and one for the tilt and auxiliary sections.
The steering and lift relief valves are installed in the
inlet section while the tilt and auxiliary relief valve
is installed in the main body between the tilt and
auxiliary spools. The pressure relief valves limit the
maximum pressure within the hydraulic system.
The inlet section also contains a valve that provides
a steady 17 liter/min (4.5 gal/min) hydraulic flow out
of the main control valve to the steering valve. This
flow then returns to the hydraulic tank through the
end section. See Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3.
Operation
The main control valve is an open center, series-par-
allel circuit valve. See Figure 4. When open center
valve spools are in the NEUTRAL position, the hy-
draulic oil flows through the valve with minimum re-
striction. The oil passes through the valve and re-
turns to the hydraulic tank through the end section.
The inlet section of the valve also includes the steer-
ing flow divider. The steering flow divider is a pri-
ority valve that provides a steady supply to steering
regardless of the downstream loads from lift, tilt, or
auxiliary functions. Excess flow from the flow divider
is routed to the lift, tilt, and auxiliary functions. The
lift, tilt, and auxiliary functions of the main control
valve are configured as an open center, series-paral-
lel circuit valve.
LIFT SECTION
The lift function is configured as a series circuit. As
the spool is shifted to the lift mode, the lift spool
makes a restriction in the open center passage. In-
creased pressure in the series passage causes oil to
flow through the check valve to the supply cavity.
The check valve prevents the movement of the load
until the system pressure is great enough to control
the load. When the lift spool is fully shifted in the lift
mode, oil supply is blocked through the open center
passage to the tilt and auxiliary function, forcing all
flow to the lift circuit. When the spool is in the lower
position, the spool opens a path from the lift cylinder
to the drain cavity. The spool is made so that the oil
flow through the open center passage is not stopped.

TILT AND AUXILIARY SECTIONS
The tilt and auxiliary functions are configured as
parallel circuits. Each spool can operate without pre-
venting the flow of oil to another spool. The parallel
circuit also allows a single relief valve to control the
maximum pressure of all functions in the circuit.
The operation of these spools is similar to that of the
lift spool. As the spool is shifted from the NEUTRAL
position, the flow through the open center passage is
restricted, increasing the system pressure. The in-
creased pressure in the series passage causes the oil
to flow through the check valve to the supply cavity.
The check valve prevents the movement of the load
until the system pressure is great enough to control
the load. When the spool is fully shifted, the paral-
lel flow path allows flow of oil to the other functions
in the parallel circuit. Flow from the tilt cylinders
or auxiliary attachments returns through the main
control valve to the hydraulic tank.

Main Control Valve Repair
2000 SRM 754
When tilting forward, an additional tilt control spool,
located inside the tilt spool, is used to prevent cavi-
tation in the piston end of the tilt cylinders. Cav-
itation occurs when the available fluid does not fill
the space in a closed system. When cavitation oc-
curs in the tilt cylinders, the tilt forward function is
not smooth. The tilt control spool permits the reg-
ulation of the tilt speed by using the pressure from
the hydraulic pump. The pump pressure must be at
least 800 kPa (116 psi) on the piston ends of the tilt
cylinders. The tilt control spool prevents oil flow from
the rod end of the tilt cylinder until the pressure is
800 kPa (116 psi). This action makes sure that a vac-
uum cannot occur at the piston ends of the tilt cylin-
ders.
Reattaching the Clevis End of the Tilt
Spool
The clevis end of the tilt spool screws off to enable
assembly of the tilt control spool and spring inside
the tilt spool. If this clevis end becomes loose or dis-
engages, then a hydraulic oil leak can occur. Follow
these procedures to reattach the clevis end.
1.
Remove the tilt spool assembly from the valve
body.
2.
Remove original O-Ring above threads on clevis
end and replace with new O-Ring.
3.
Clean threads of clevis end and apply one drop of
Loctite 515.
4.
Turn clevis end into tilt spool and tighten to
16 N•m (12 lbf ft).
5.
Install tilt spool assembly into valve body.
RELIEF VALVE
The relief valve limits the maximum pressure within
the hydraulic system. The control valve has three
relief valves. The steering relief valve and the lift
relief valve are installed in the inlet section of the
control valve. The third relief valve is for the tilt
and auxiliary circuits and is installed in the section
of the control valve with the tilt and auxiliary spools.
All the relief valves are the same in description and
operation. The tilt and auxiliary relief valve is set
at a lower pressure than the lift relief valve. When
the pressure in one of the hydraulic circuits reaches
the relief valve setting, the relief valve opens a path
between the inlet and drain circuits.
