LA1153, LA1353, WSM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY STARTING
• Do not start the engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
• Do not alter or remove any part of machine safety
system.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all shift
levers are in neutral positions or in disengaged
positions.
• Never start the engine while standing on ground.
Start the engine only from operator’s seat.

SAFETY WORKING
• Do not work on the machine while under the influence
of alcohol, medication, or other substances or while
fatigued.
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job.
• Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools,
parts, and procedures are not recommended.
• When servicing is performed together by two or more
persons, take care to perform all work safely.
• Do not work under the machine that is supported
solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
• Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
• Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, hot
water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
• Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

AVOID FIRES
• Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and
connect it last.
• Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open
flame away from the top of battery, especially when
charging the battery.
• Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine.

LA1153, LA1353, WSM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

VENTILATE WORK AREA


• If the engine must be running to do some work, make
sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine
in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide.

PREVENT ACID BURNS


• Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte
away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill
electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get
medical attention immediately.

DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY


• Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or
into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant
environmental protection regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful
waste.

PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES


• Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospital and fire department near your
telephone.

2. The pressure-fed oil from the P port flows to the A2 port just like the “DUMP” position.
3. Return oil from the bucket cylinder (9) flows from the B2 port to the passage 2 (8), and flows to the A2 port together
with the pressure-fed oil from the P port.
As a result, the dump speed is increased.

[4] RELIEF VALVE


■ Relief Valve Closed
This relief valve is suitable for a high pressure and
large volumetric flow, and has better pressure override
performance than direct acting relief valves.
This relief valve consists of a pilot valve (4) and main
valve (8). The pilot valve (4) is a trigger which controls
the main valve (8).
When the oil pressure in the circuit is lower than the
setting pressure, the pilot valve (4) and main valve (8)
are closed by the spring (3) and (7).

■ Relief Valve in Operation


As the oil pressure in the circuit rises, so does the
pressure in the chamber “C”. When it reaches the pilot
valve setting pressure, the pilot valve (2) opens. This
releases oil in the chamber “C” to the transmission case.
Accordingly the oil in the circuit flows to the chamber “C”
through the passage (5).
The resulting pressure drop in the chamber “C”
causes the main valve (4) open. The oil in the circuit then
flows out to the transmission case, preventing any further
rise in pressure. The relief valve close again when the oil
pressure in the circuit drops below the setting pressure.

■ Down
1. When the hydraulic control lever is set to the
“DOWN” position, the spool (5) moves to the left,
which forms oil passages between passage 1 (9) and
A1 port, and between B1 port and P.B. passage 1 (7).
2. As the oil passage from the neutral passage 1 (6) to
the P.B. passage 1 (7) is closed by the spool (5), the
pressure-fed oil from the P port opens the load check
valve (10) and flows through the notched section of
the spool (5) and A1 port to retract the boom cylinder

■ Floating
1. When the hydraulic control lever is set to the
“FLOAT” position, the spool (5) moves further to the
left from the “DOWN” position and is retained by the
detent mechanism (10).
2. This forms oil passages among the A1 port, B1 port
and T port. As a result, oil in the boom cylinder flows
freely from the A1 port and B1 port through the T port
to the transmission case.
3. Oil entering the P port flows to the bucket control
valve (2) through the neutral passage 1 (9) and P.B.

■ Roll-back
1. When the hydraulic control lever is set to the “ROLL-
BACK” position, the spool (6) of the bucket control
valve (2) moves to the left, which forms oil passages
between passage 2 (10) and B2 port, and between
A2 port and T port.
2. The oil passage from the P.B. passage 1 (5) to the
P.B. passage 2 (7) is closed by the spool (6).
Therefore, the pressure-fed oil from the P port flows
through the boom control valve (3), opens the load
check valve (9), and flows through the notched
section of the spool (6) and B2 port to retract the
bucket cylinder (1).
3. Return oil from the bucket cylinder flows to the

■ Dump
1. When the hydraulic control lever is set to the “DUMP”
position, the spool (6) of the bucket control valve (2)
moves to the right, which forms oil passages between
passage 2 (7), A2 port and B2 port.
2. The oil passage from the P.B. passage 1 (5) to the
P.B. passage 2 (7) is closed by the spool (6).
Therefore, the pressure-fed oil from the P port flows
through the boom control valve (3), opens the load
check valve (9), and flows through the notched
section of the spool (6) and A2 port to extend the
bucket cylinder (1).
3. Return oil from the bucket cylinder flows from the B2
port to the passage 2 (10), and flows to the A2 port
together with the pressure-fed oil from the P port.
As a result, the dump speed is increased.

[4] RELIEF VALVE


The relief valve is adopted in the loader control valve.
This relief valve is pilot operated type, it is suitable for a
high pressure and large volumetric flow, and has better
pressure override performance than direct acting relief
valves.
This relief valve is a combination valve combining a
relief operation and anti-cavitation operation.

LA1153, LA1353, WSM FRONT LOADER

■ Relief Operation
[Step 1]
The relief valve is in communication between the high
pressure port HP and low pressure chamber LP. Oil is
admitted through the hole in piston poppet (4) and
because of the differential area between diameter A and
B relief valve poppet (1) and check valve poppet (2) are
tightly seated as shown in the figure.
(1) Relief Valve Poppet (3) Pilot Poppet
(2) Check Valve Poppet (4) Piston Poppet

[Step 2]
The oil pressure in the high pressure port HP has
reached the setting of the pilot spring force and unseats
the pilot poppet (3) and oil flows around the poppet-
through the cross drilled holes and to the low pressure
chamber LP.
(3) Pilot Poppet

[Step 3]
The loss of oil behind the piston poppet (4), effected
by the opening of pilot poppet (3), causes piston poppet
(4) to move back and seat against pilot poppet (3). This
shuts off the oil flow to the area behind relief valve poppet
(1), and causes a low pressure area internally.
(1) Relief Valve Poppet (4) Piston Poppet
(3) Pilot Poppet

[Step 4]
The imbalance of pressure on the inside as compared
to that of the high pressure port HP, force the relief valve
poppet (1) to open and relief the oil directly to the low
pressure chamber LP in the valve.

■ Anti-cavitation Operation
The anti-void unit supplies oil to the high pressure
port HP when cavitation has occurred. A lower pressure
exists in the port HP compared to the low pressure
chamber LP. The difference between the effective area
of diameter A and C causes imbalance of the check
valve poppet (1) which unseats, thus allowing oil from the
low pressure chamber LP to enter the port HP and fill the
void.

The oil discharge from the hydraulic pump flows into the valve through P port (1). When each spool is in a neutral
condition, the center by-pass passage (4) can not be shut off with spool. Because the incoming oil goes through the
center by-pass passage (4) in the boom section, divider section, self-leveling section and sequence section and then
through the center by-pass passage of bucket spool (25), and is discharge through P.B. port (26).

The following explanations explain illustration figure 1, 2, 3 and 4.


When the boom spool (3) is pushed in with the self-leveling spool (15) pushed in, the hydraulic oil flowing from P
port (1) is discharged through the opened A1 port via the load check valve (2) because the center by-pass passage
(4) is shut off, and is supplied to the boom cylinder rod side and acts in the direction extending the boom cylinder (28).
Since the boom cylinder (28) extends, the oil in the rod side flows into the valve through B1 port, and is led into the
passage A (5).
At this time, all the oil does not go to the raising divider spool (9) (Refer to the f-f.) but is led to the center by-pass
passage (4) because the passage A (5) is connected to the center by-pass passage (4) via the self-leveling spool (15).
Therefore, the hydraulic oil is not supplied to the bucket cylinder (29), and the boom is operated independently.

When the boom spool (3) is pulled out with the self-leveling spool (15) pushed in, the hydraulic oil flowing from P
port (1) is discharged through the opened B1 port via the load check valve (2) because the center by-pass passage
(4) is shut off, and is supplied to the boom cylinder rod side and acts in the direction retracting the boom cylinder (28).
As the boom cylinder (28) retracts, the oil in the bottom side flows into the valve through A1 port, and is led into

At this time, all the oil is not led to the lowering divider spool (10) but is led to the center by-pass passage (4)
because the passage B (6) is connected to the center by-passpassage (4) via the self-leveling spool (15).
Therefore, the oil is not supplied to the bucket cylinder (29), and the boom is operated independently.
When the boom cylinder (28) retracts and reaches the stroke end, the tractor main relief valve is activated, and the

The following explanations explain illustration figure 1, 2, 3 and 4.


When the boom spool (3) is pulled out the center by-pass passage (4) is shut off. The hydraulic oil entering P port
(1) flows to the load check valve (2) and to the opened B1 port. Since the boom cylinder retracts (28), the hydraulic
oil in the bottom side flows into the valve through A1 port and is led to the passage B (6).
The hydraulic oil is divided to two flows. The most part of the hydraulic oil is directly led to the lowering divider
spool (9) via the lowering adjuster (8) (Refer to the b-b.).
The divider divides the oil flows to the bucket cylinder (29) and the surplusing oil flows to P.B. port (26) depending
on the flows division ratio.
The hydraulic oil supplied to the passage D (12), the check valve (19) and the A2 port of the bucket cylinder (29).
As a result, the bucket cylinder (29) is retracted, and the bucket (pallet fork) is kept “HORIZONTAL”.
As the bucket cylinder (29) retracts, the oil in the rod side flows into the valve through B2 port, and is led into the
passage G (20) and discharged to P.B. port (26) through the lowering sequence spool (22) which is operated with the
pressure in the bucket cylinder rod side.

When the boom spool (3) is pulled out and switched into the detent position, all the hydraulic oil from P port (1) is
discharged through P.B. port (26) via the center by-pass passage (4) because the center by-pass passage (4) is
opened.
On the other hand, because the A1 port and B1 port are connected to the T port (27), respectively, the oil in the
rod side / bottom side of the boom cylinder can move between the rod side and the bottom side freely, so any stroke
of boom cylinder can be made depending on external force (topography).

When the bucket spool (25) is pushed in, the hydraulic oil from P port (1) passes through the center by-pass
passage (4) (Refer to the b-b.) via the load check valve (24) and is discharged into the opened A2 and B2 ports. As
a result, the oil is supplied to the rod side and the bottom side of the bucket cylinder, and acts in the extending direction
according to the cylinder area ratio.
As the bucket cylinder extends, the oil in the rod side flows into the valve through A2 port, and joins the oil from P
port (1) and is led to the bottom side again (Refer to the c-c.).
During this operation, the oil is not discharged through P.B. port (26) and T port (27).
When the bucket cylinder extends and reaches the stroke end during operation of the dump, the tractor main relief
valve operates and retains the pressure of P port (1) at the set pressure by discharging hydraulic oil from the pump

[4] RELIEF VALVE


(1) Main Relief Valve
■ Relief Valve Closed
The cylinder port P is applied to the seat B in the
following route : first through the throttle a of the piston
poppet (1) built in the relief valve poppet (5), second
through the spring chamber A, and then through the
circular clearance between the adjusting screw and the
piston poppet (1). This cylinder port P works to open the
pilot poppet (2). Because the piston spring (3) has not
reached the set pressure, however, the valve stays shut.
In this way the seat remains intact and the relief valve
poppet (5) stays shut.

(2) Pilot Poppet T: To Tank
(3) Piston Spring A: Chamber
(4) Adjusting Screw B: Seat
(5) Relief Valve Poppet Y: Middle Pressure
a: Throttle
W10237990
■ Relief Valve Operation
When the P port has reached the set pressure of the
piston spring (3), the pressure oil in the spring chamber
A opens the pilot poppet (2) and flows through the drain
passage into the tank passage. This lowers the pressure
in the spring chamber A, and the pressure difference
across the throttle a moves the relief valve poppet (5) to
the right. Now the seat of the relief valve poppet (5) gets
open. The pressure oil flows then from this seat into the
tank, and the circuit pressure is kept at the pressure level
set by the main relief valve.

(2) Overload Relief Valve


Overload relief valve in this control valve is a
combination valve combining a relief operation and anti-
cavitation operation.
■ Relief Operation
When the control valve is in the neutral position, both
cylinder ports of control valve are blocked by the spool.
If an external load is imposed on the cylinder, pressure
builds in the circuit.
When the pressure exceeds the set level of the
overload relief vale, the relief valve opens and the oil
returns to tank. In this way, the hydraulic circuit and
actuator are protected from excessive pressures.
■ Anti-cavitation Operation
Overload relief valve also has anti-void function. If a
negative pressure takes place in the circuit, the oil is fed
from the tank to eliminate the negative pressure.

poppet (1) built in the relief valve poppet (5), second
through the spring chamber A, and then through the
circular clearance between the adjusting screw (9) and
the piston poppet (1). This cylinder port HP works to
open the pilot poppet (2). Because the piston spring (3)
has not reached the set pressure, however, the valve
stays shut. In this way the seat remains intact and the
relief valve poppet (5) stays shut.

[When the actuator port pressure is higher than the


setting]
When the cylinder port HP has reached the set
pressure of the piston spring (3), the pressure oil in the
spring chamber A opens the pilot poppet (2) and flows
through the drain passage into the tank passage. This
lowers the pressure in the spring chamber A, and the
pressure difference across the throttle a moves the relief
valve poppet (5) to the right. Now the seat of the relief
valve poppet (5) gets open. The pressure oil flows then
from this seat into the tank, and the circuit pressure is
kept at the pressure level set by the overload relief valve.

That is, this relief valve is combined an anti-cavitation

The pressure oil at the tank port LP opens the check
valve poppet, allowing oil to flow through the tank port to
prevent negative pressure from being generated in the
cylinder.

Adjusting Self-leveling
■ IMPORTANT
• When checking, park the tractor on flat and hard ground, set
the range shift lever in neutral, apply parking brake, stay
clear of operating area while setting self leveling.
■ NOTE
• In the case that both the quick attach pallet fork and quick
attach bucket are used, set the self leveling for the quick
attach pallet fork.
• Magnetic inclinometer is required to measure the angle of
rise or drop of attachment (hardware or tool shop).
■ Raise Leveling Adjustment
1. Start the engine and set at 2000 min−1 (rpm).
2. Set the bucket (or pallet fork) flat on the ground and raise the
boom to the maximum height.
3. If the bucket (or pallet fork) angle is not within the positive or up
angle shown in the illustration, readjustment is required. (No
down or negative angle is acceptable.) Lower the boom and
loosen the lock nut then adjust by raising adjuster with the
appropriate allen wrench as follows.
- Bucket (or pallet fork) forward tilt : Raising adjuster “IN”
- Bucket (or pallet fork) back tilt : Raising adjuster “OUT”
(Typically 1/2 turn is a good increment of change)
4. Tighten the lock nut with the specified torque as shown below.
■ IMPORTANT
• The torque for the locking nut is very important, if the
locking nut is over torqued, it will break the adjusting screw.
• Avoid loosening of adjustment screws by 5 turns or more
with reference to the fully-tightened position because over-
loosening may cause loss of the screws. As a guide, the
head portion of the adjustment screw protrudes by about 13
mm from the locknut when the adjustment screw is
loosened by 5 turns.

3. Lower the boom until the bucket (or pallet fork) slightly contact to
the ground.
4. If the bucket (or pallet fork) angle is not within the positive or up
angle shown in the illustration, readjustment is required. (No
down or negative angle is acceptable.) Loosen the lock nut then
adjust by lowering adjuster with the appropriate allen wrench as
follows.
- Bucket (or pallet fork) forward tilt: Lowering Adjuster “OUT”
- Bucket (or pallet fork) back tilt: Lowering Adjuster “IN”
(Typically 1/2 turn is a good increment of change)
