The pilot system is supplied with oil by the right side 19 cc pump mounted in front of the main Linde
pump. The main components and operation of the system are as follows.

Oil is supplied through line (1) (P-port) passing through filter (8) and check valve (9) and out through line
(5) (SP-port) to charge the accumulator. Oil also supplied out through line (3) (M-port) directly to the
spreader damping cylinders.

As soon as the operator moves the joystick for any boom functions (lift, lower, extend or retract), WDO
valve (10) will be energized by the IQAN system and oil will pass through WDO valve (10) out of line (4)
(B-port) to the proportional valve block.

Should the pressure rise to 30 bar relief valve (7) will dump the remaining oil through line (2) (T-port)
back to tank. The check valve (9) ensures that the accumulator pressure is available to the pilot circuit
for brief emergency operation of the boom functions (only retract and lower) in the event of an engine
or pump failure.

The WDO valve (10) is under control of the IQAN system. The WDO valve will only be energised if the
joystick is moved to operate lift, lower, extend or retract functions. As soon as the IQAN system detects a
problem the WDO valve as well as the Joystick will be switched off and an alarm message is
generated on the MDL.
