Enabling the Counterweight Removal Device

The hydraulic activation control lever must be in the LOCKED position in order to operate the
counterweight removal device. Ball valves (2) must be in the OPEN position (B) . The counterweight
removal device is enabled by toggle switch (22) . Toggle switch (22) energizes solenoid valve (19) .
Solenoid valve (19) opens and pilot oil from line (10) flows into line (20) to valve (18) . Pump oil
flows from line (9) through spool valve (18) and through line (7) to control valve (5) .

Counterweight Lower Operation

When lever (23) is pulled down, control valve (5) shifts downward. Pump oil flows from line (7)
through control valve (5) through line (16) and line (1) to the rod end of lift cylinder (12) . Oil drains
from the head end of the lift cylinder into line (14) . Oil flows through relief valve (3) , ball valve (2)
and through line (15) to control valve (5) . The oil flows through control valve (5) , through line (6)
and through line (17) to the hydraulic tank. The counterweight is lowered.

Counterweight Raise Operation

When lever (23) is pulled up, control valve (5) shifts upward. Pump oil flows from line (7) through
line (15) and through ball valve (2) to relief valve (3) . Pump oil flows through check valve (26) and
through line (14) to the head end of lift cylinder (12) . Oil drains from the rod end of lift cylinder (12)
through line (1) and through line (16) to control valve (5) . The oil flows through control valve (5) ,
line (6) and line (17) to the hydraulic tank. The counterweight is raised. When lever (23) is placed in
the NEUTRAL position, check valve (26) prevents the oil in the head end of lift cylinder (12) from
flowing out of the lift cylinder.

Relief Operation of the Cylinder Head End

When counterweight lift cylinder (12) is pushed downward by an outside force the oil pressure in the
head end of the lift cylinder increases. The oil pressure is sensed at relief valve (3) . When the relief
valve opens the oil flows back to the hydraulic tank.
