DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The remote control valves are used to control
external hydraulic implements connected to the
tractor.
Tractors may be equipped with up to 4 remote control
valves, which are secured to the upper side of the lift
housing.
The remote valves are operated by means of control
levers located at the operator’s right side.
Each lever and corresponding valve are colour
coded, as follows:
Lever Colour Valve Location and No.
Green external, RH I or lower the implement connected to remote control
Blue internal, RH II
Brown internal, LH III
Black external, LH IIII
Each remote valve control lever has three or four
positions, as required by the type of valve controlled.
1. Raise – Pulling the lever towards the operator will
extend the cylinder and raise the implement.
2. Neutral – Pushing the lever from the operator and
away from the raise position will select the
neutral position and deactivate the cylinder
connected.
3. Lower – Pushing the lever farther from the
operator, beyond the neutral position, will retract
the cylinder and lower the implement.
4. Float (valves I and III only) – Pushing the lever
still farther from the operator and beyond the
604.55.111.00 – 06 – 2002
lower position will select the float position. The
cylinder extends or retracts freely, allowing
implements such as loaders to adapt to the
ground profile.
If four remote control valves are fitted, it is possible
to install an alternative joy–stick control replacing
control levers for remote valves I and II. Raise,
Neutral, Lower and, only for valve I, Float.
Moving the joystick rearward or forward will raise or
lower the implement connected to remote control
valve I. If the joystick is pushed still forward, beyond
the lower position, the valve reaches the floating
position.
Moving the joystick towards the left or right will raise
valve II. The floating position is not available for
remote control valve II.
The joystick control has the advantage of activating
two remote control valves at the same time by
toggling the lever through positions for remote
control valves I and II.
Tractors fitted with 4 remote control valves are
equipped with a flow control adjuster which is located
between valve I and valve II.
The flow control adjuster varies the oil flow to cylinder
I. The control knob should be turned anticlockwise to
reduce the flow, clockwise to increase it.
If the oil flow to valve I is increased, the amount of oil
available for remaining valves and the hydraulic lift
will be reduced.
Refer to page 7 for detailed operation of the hydraulic
remote valves.

4. RAISE – When the cab control lever is pulled, the

valve spool (3) moves and allows the oil to flow from 1 L H 2 E G L
the supply passage (E) to the cylinder lower
chamber through the check valve (2) and passage
(G) and from the cylinder upper chamber to the
exhaust passage (L) through the passage (H), 3
deviating the oil supply directed to the hydraulic lift
valve. If the lever is kept pulled, full raise is achieved
when the cylinder has reached the end of its stroke.
Once released, the lever automatically moves back
to the neutral position under the action of the return
spring and all the oil flow from the pump is sent to the
lift valve through the passages (M). BSE2610A

5. LOWER – To lower the implement, it is necessary
to push the cab control lever. The valve spool (3) 1 L H 2 E G L
moves to the position shown in Figure 5 and allows
oil trapped into the cylinder lower chamber to dump
into the exhaust passage (L) through the passage
(G) while upper chamber opens to the supply 3
passage (E) through the passage (H) and check
valve (2).

6. RAISE – When the cab control lever is pulled, the
valve spool 32) moves and allows oil to flow from the 1 L H 2 E G L
supply passage (E) to the cylinder through the check
valve (2) and passage (G). Passage (H), which is in
use when controlling double–acting cylinders, is left
unused now and remains permanently connected to 3
the exhaust passage (L) through the switching valve
(1) opening.

7. LOWER – When the cab control lever is pushed,

the valve spool (3) moves to the position shown in 1 L H 2 E G L
figure 7. Oil trapped in the cylinder, under the weight
of the implement raised, flows to the exhaust
passage (L) through the passage (G) while all oil
flowing from the pump is sent to the exhaust passage 3
(L) through the check valve (2) and passage (H).

SCHEMATICS – OPERATING PHASES OF A REMOTE CONTROL VALVE CONTROLLING A

DOUBLE–ACTING CYLINDER WITH AUTOMATIC RELEASE

RAISING
With reference to Figure 8
When the cab control lever is pulled, the valve spool
(7) moves and the balls (4) enter the left–hand seat
where they remain trapped by the support (3) and
spring (2). Spool (7) movement allows oil to flow from
the supply passage (E) to the cylinder lower chamber
through the check valve (6) and passage (G) and
from the cylinder upper chamber to the exhaust
passage (L) through the passage (H), deviating the
oil supply directed to the hydraulic lift valve.
Upon full raise, oil pressure increases reaching 170
to 175 bar (173 to 178 kg/cm2) and through the
drilling (V) overcomes the action of the tapered pin
spring (5). Within the chamber (T), oil pressure
against the support (3) increases until it overcomes
the spring force and moves the support (3) back . As
a consequence, the two balls (4) fall on the support
(3) releasing the spool (7), that, under the action of
the spring (2), returns to the neutral position.
Consequently, all oil flowing from the pump is sent to
the lift valve through the passages (M).

LOWERING
With reference to Figure 9
To lower the implement, it is necessary to move the
cab control lever forward. The valve spool (7) moves
and the balls (4) enter the central seat where they
remain trapped by the support (3) and spring (2). This
condition allows oil trapped into the cylinder lower
chamber to dump to the exhaust passage (L) through
the passage (G) while the upper chamber opens to
the supply passage (E) through the passage (H) and
the check valve (6). When the implement is fully
lowered , automatic release will take place, as
previously described.

FLOAT
To engage float of the valve, the cab control lever
should be pushed fully forward. The valve spool (7)
moves and the balls (4) enter the right–hand seat
where they remain trapped by the support and spring
(3). With the spool (7) in this position, the path is open
between the two passages (M) which send all oil
flowing from the pump to the lift valve and between
the two exhaust passages (L) and the cylinder upper
and lower chambers, respectively, through the
passages (H and G). Under these conditions, the
implement connected rests on the ground with its
weight and can adapt to the ground profile allowing
use of the hydraulic lift. When floating, the automatic
release cannot take place as there is no pressure
inside the remote control valve.

opposite side to the switching valve).
After connecting the items as shown in the
schematics, test the remote control valve as follows:
– Start the hydraulic pump and move the valve
spool hand control lever (in both directions for
double–acting valves).
– Gradually increase pressure by turning the flow
test equipment handwheel. Check that pressure
is 172 bar (175 kg/cm2) on the test equipment
pressure gauge. Under these conditions, the 5
control spool of the valve being tested should
slide normally and return freely to the neutral
position as the control lever is released.
