The pilot circuit pressure is limited by pilot relief valve (55) .

The oil delivery from pilot pump (59) performs the following main functions.

• Create pilot oil pressure in order to control the output flows of the main pumps.

• Provide pilot oil pressure to the pilot control valves for implements, swing, and travel in order to perform machine operations.

• Create pilot oil pressure in order to automatically operate the control devices.

The pilot circuit is classified into the following circuits and each circuit performs one of the above functions.

• Power shift pressure system

• Pilot control valve circuit

• Pressure switch circuits

• Straight travel valve circuit

• Swing parking brake

• Boom priority

• Swing priority

• Automatic travel speed change

During machine operation, machine ECM (62) receives input signals from the following components:

• Engine speed dial (64)

349D L Excavators JGB00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY C13 Engine(SEBP5... Page 7 of 8

• Engine speed sensor (67) that is located on the flywheel housing

• Idler pump pressure sensor (65)

• Drive pump pressure sensor (66)

• Monitor in the cab (63)

The machine ECM (62) continually monitors all of the input signals. The input signals are processed by the machine ECM and an output signal is sent to proportional
reducing valve (52) at the pump regulator. The proportional reducing valve assists in controlling the output flow of idler pump (60) and drive pump (51) .

The oil delivery from pilot pump (59) flows through the pilot filter to proportional reducing valve (52) at the pump regulator. The electrical signal that is sent from
machine ECM (62) causes proportional reducing valve (52) to regulate the pilot pressure to a reduced pressure. This reduced pressure is called power shift pressure
(PS). The proportional reducing valve sends the reduced pilot oil pressure through the idler pump regulator and through the drive pump regulator. The output flow of
idler pump (60) and drive pump (51) is controlled in accordance with the power shift pressure. The power shift pressure is used to regulate the maximum allowable
hydraulic pump output.

The output signal that is sent from the machine ECM to the proportional reducing valve will change when the machine ECM detects a change in any of the input
signals. The power shift pressure that is sent to the regulators at the idler pump and the drive pump will change in order to regulate the maximum allowable hydraulic
pump output. The desired engine speed is maintained.

A decrease in engine speed increases the power shift pressure. An increase in power shift pressure causes destroke condition of the idler pump and the drive pump.
The maximum allowable hydraulic power output is decreased.

An increase in engine speed decreases the power shift pressure. A decrease in power shift pressure causes an upstroke position of the idler pump and the drive pump.
The maximum allowable hydraulic power output is increased.

Note: For more information concerning the operation of the machine ECM, refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Electronic Control System".

Pilot Control Valve Circuits

Oil from pilot pump (59) flows through pilot line (58) , pilot filter (57) , and pilot line (54) to pilot manifold (53) . When the hydraulic activation control lever is
shifted to the UNLOCKED position, the machine ECM energizes the hydraulic activation solenoid valve (46) . The pilot oil then shifts valve (44) . The pilot oil now
flows through valve (44) and pilot line (29) . The pilot oil now flows to pilot control valves (6) , (24) and (25) for implements, swing, and travel in order to perform
machine operations. When the joysticks and/or travel levers/pedals are moved, the pilot oil flows to main control valve (11) in order to control the machine functions.

Illustration 6 g01472237

Pilot lines at the main control valve (top view)

When joystick (24) and/or joystick (25) are operated, the pilot control valves send pilot pump oil through the pilot lines to pilot ports at the main control valve in
order to shift the spools in the main control valve. Refer to Illustration 6 and Table 1 for the location of the pilot lines and machine operations.

Pilot oil from the pilot control valves flows through pilot lines to the ports on the bottom of the main control valve in order to perform the opposite operation.

The following example is given for the BOOM LOWER operation and the BOOM RAISE operation. Machine operations for a stick operation, bucket operation,
travel operation, and swing operation are accomplished in the same manner as the boom operation.

When the joystick for the boom is moved to the BOOM RAISE position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (25) flows through pilot line (15) to boom I control valve
(16) . The pilot pressure shifts the boom I control valve. The oil delivery from the drive pump flows to the head end of the boom cylinders in order to perform the
BOOM RAISE operation.

When the joystick for the boom is moved to the BOOM LOWER position, pilot oil from pilot control valve (25) flows through pilot line (27) to boom I control valve
(16) . The pilot pressure shifts the boom I control valve. The pilot oil also flows through pilot line (18) in order to open boom drift reduction valve (17) . The return
oil from the head end of the boom cylinders flows through the boom drift reduction valve and the boom I control valve to the hydraulic tank. The BOOM LOWER
operation is now performed.

Pressure Switch Circuits

Travel pressure switch (13) is installed on main control valve (11) . When either the right or left travel control valve is shifted from the NEUTRAL position pilot oil
is blocked from the hydraulic tank. Pilot pressure in passage (23) then increases which causes pressure switch (13) to change to the ON position. The signal from
switch (13) is sent to the machine ECM. The machine ECM processes the signal from pressure switch (13) and the signal from switch (12) so that the automatic
engine speed control (AEC) will function.

When the machine does not travel, the pilot oil pressure flows to the hydraulic tank. Therefore, pilot oil pressure is low and switch (13) is in the OFF position.

Implement/swing pressure switch (12) is installed on main control valve (11) . When an implement or swing control valve is shifted from the NEUTRAL position
pilot oil is blocked from the hydraulic tank. Pilot pressure in passage (21) then increases which causes pressure switch (12) to change to the ON position. The signal
from switch (12) is sent to the machine ECM. The machine ECM processes the signal from pressure switch (12) and the signal from switch (13) so that the automatic
engine speed control (AEC) will function.

When no implement or swing operation is being performed, the pilot oil pressure flows to the hydraulic tank. Therefore, pilot oil pressure is low and switch (12) is in
the OFF position.

Straight Travel Valve Circuit

When a swing operation and/or implement operation is performed during a travel operation, the increase of pilot pressure in pilot line (21) activates implement/swing
pressure switch (12) and straight travel control valve (22) . The implement/swing pressure switch sends an electrical signal to the machine ECM. The straight travel
control valve maintains straight travel even though there is a swing operation or an implement operation during travel. For more information concerning the operation
of the straight travel control valve, refer to Systems Operation, "Control Valve (Straight Travel)".

Swing Parking Brake

The circuit for the swing parking brake release releases the brake during implement operation and/or swing operation. Solenoid valve (42) is normally in the
CLOSED position. Pilot oil from pilot manifold (53) flows through valve (44) to solenoid valve (42) . When the implement controls and/or swing controls are
operated, the increase in pilot oil pressures causes solenoid valve (42) to change to the OPEN position. Pilot oil then flows through solenoid valve (42) to swing
parking brake (1) . This action releases the swing parking brake. For more information concerning the operation of the swing parking brake, refer to Systems
Operation, "Pilot Valve (Swing Parking Brake)".

Boom Priority
During combined operations of BOOM RAISE and STICK IN, the pilot oil pressure in pilot line (31) activates the pressure reducing valve for boom priority (49) .
The pressure reducing valve for boom priority allows priority flow to the head end of the boom cylinders during these combined hydraulic operations by disabling
stick II control valve (32) . For more information concerning the pressure reducing valve for boom priority, refer to Systems Operation, "Boom Hydraulic System".

Swing Priority
During a swing operation, pilot oil flows from pilot control valve (24) to the pressure reducing valve for swing priority (50) . The pressure reducing valve for swing
priority shifts. The pilot oil flow in pilot line (30) from pilot oil manifold (53) is blocked by the pressure reducing valve for swing priority. Most of the drive pump
delivery flow goes to the swing motor. For more information concerning the pressure reducing valve for swing priority, refer to Systems Operation, "Swing Hydraulic
System".

Automatic Travel Speed Change Valve

Pilot oil in passage (41) flows to travel speed solenoid valve (40) . When the travel speed switch on the right console is set at the HIGH SPEED position, the travel
speed solenoid valve opens. This action allows pilot oil to flow through travel speed solenoid valve (40) and through line (28) . The oil then flows to the displacement
change valve for the left travel motor (3) and the displacement change valve for the right travel motor (4) . As the displacement change valve operates, the travel
speed is maintained at the HIGH SPEED position.

When the travel speed switch on the right console is set at the HIGH SPEED position, the pressure sensors for the pump delivery pressure control the travel speed in
accordance with the travel load. For example, low speed during a high load condition and high speed during a low load condition.

For more information concerning the operation of the displacement change valves, refer to Systems Operation, "Displacement Change Valve".

Heavy lift (if equipped)

The machine is equipped with a heavy lift feature that allows higher system pressure in the main hydraulic circuit. A switch on the console activates a solenoid valve.
The solenoid valve directs pilot oil pressure to the pilot oil port on the main relief valve. The pilot oil pressure is ported through the valve in order to move a piston
that creates a higher spring force on the main relief valve. The increase of spring force on the main relief valve causes the relief pressure in the main hydraulic system
to rise.

For more information concerning the operation of the heavy lift system, refer to Systems Operation, "Relief Valve (Main) (Heavy Lift)".
