position during work interruptions. Pull pilot control shutoff lever to locked position and stop engine before allowing anyone to
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 9 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
approach machine.
Always lower work equipment to the ground and pull pilot control shutoff lever to locked position before standing up or leaving
the operator′s seat. Stop engine before exiting.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 10 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Avoid contact with gas lines, buried cables and water lines. Call utility line location services to identify all
underground utilities before you dig.
Prepare work site properly . Avoid operating near structures or objects that could fall onto the machine. Clear away debris
that could move unexpectedly if run over.
Avoid boom or arm contact with overhead obstacles or overhead electrical lines. Never move any part of machine or
load closer than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator length to overhead wires.
Keep bystanders clear at all times. Keep bystanders away from raised booms, attachments, and unsupported loads. Avoid
swinging or raising booms, attachments, or loads over or near personnel. Use barricades or a signal person to keep vehicles
and pedestrians away. Use a signal person if moving machine in congested areas or where visibility is restricted. Always keep
signal person in view. Coordinate hand signals before starting machine.
Operate only on solid footing with strength sufficient to support machine. When working close to an excavation, position
travel motors away from the hole.
Reduce machine speed when operating with tool on or near ground when obstacles may be hidden (e.g., during snow
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 11 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
removal or clearing mud, dirt, etc.). At high speeds hitting obstacles (rocks, uneven concrete or manholes) can cause a sudden
stop. Always wear your seat belt.
Riders are subject to injury. They may fall from machine, be caught between machine parts, or be struck by foreign objects.
Riders may obstruct operator’s view or impair his ability to operate machine safely.
Backover Warning
Before moving machine, be sure all persons are clear of both travel and swing paths. Turn around and look directly
for best visibility. Use mirrors to assist in checking all around machine. Keep windows and mirrors clean, adjusted, and in good
repair.
Use a signal person when backing if view is obstructed or when in close quarters. Keep signal person in view at all
times. Use prearranged hand signals to communicate.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 12 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Unloading Machine
Do Not Jump
Do not jump if the machine tips. You will be unlikely to jump clear and the machine may crush you.
Load and unload from trucks or trailers carefully. Be sure truck is wide enough and on a firm level surface. Use loading
ramps and attach them properly to truck bed. Avoid trucks with steel beds because tracks slip more easily on steel.
Be careful on slopes. Use extra care on soft, rocky or frozen ground. Machine may slip sideways in these conditions. When
traveling up or down slopes, keep the bucket on uphill side and just above ground level.
Be careful with heavy loads. Using oversize buckets or lifting heavy objects reduces machine stability. Extending a heavy
load or swinging it over side of undercarriage may cause machine to tip.
Ensure solid footing. Use extra care when operating near banks or excavations that may cave-in and cause machine to tip or
fall.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 13 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Never lift a load above another person. Keep bystanders clear of all areas where a load might fall if it breaks free. Do not leave
the seat when there is a raised load.
Do not exceed lift capacity limits posted on machine and in this manual. Extending heavy loads too far or swinging over
undercarriage side may cause machine to tip over.
Use proper rigging to attach and stabilize loads. Be sure slings or chains have adequate capacity and are in good condition. Use
tether lines to guide loads and prearranged hand signals to communicate with co-workers.
Ensure that a qualified person is involved in attachment installation. Add guards to machine if operator protection is required or
recommended. Verify that all connections are secure and attachment responds properly to controls.
Carefully read attachment manual and follow all instructions and warnings. In an area free of bystanders and obstructions,
carefully operate attachment to learn its characteristics and range of motion.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 14 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Warn others of service work. Always park and prepare your machine for service or repair properly.
Park machine on a level surface and lower equipment and attachments to the ground.
Place pilot shutoff lever in “lock” position. Stop engine and remove key.
Attach a “Do Not Operate” tag in an obvious place in the operator′s station.
Do not support machine with boom, arm, or other hydraulically actuated attachments.
Do not support machine with cinder blocks or wooden pieces that may crumble or crush.
Do not support machine with a single jack or other devices that may slip out of place.
Understand service procedures before beginning repairs. Keep service area clean and dry. Use two people whenever the
engine must be running for service work.
Cooling System
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9000 page 15 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Toxic Fumes
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding or using a torch. Dust from sanding or grinding paint can
also be hazardous.
Remove paint to at least 76 mm (3 in.) from area to be heated. Wear an approved respirator when sanding or grinding paint. If
a solvent or paint stripper is used, wash area with soap and water. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers from work area
and allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or heating.
Work outside or in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of waste, paint and solvents properly.
IMPORTANT:
Disable electrical power before welding. Turn off main battery switch or disconnect positive battery
cable. Separate harness connectors to engine and vehicle microprocessors.
Avoid welding or heating near pressurized fluid lines. Flammable spray may result and cause severe burns if pressurized lines
fail as a result of heating. Do not let heat go beyond work area to nearby pressurized lines.
Remove paint properly. Do not inhale paint dust or fumes. Use a qualified welding technician for structural repairs. Make sure
there is good ventilation. Wear eye protection and protective equipment when welding.

Cooling System
During engine warm-up, the thermostat remains closed and coolant is directed through the bypass passage to the suction side
of the water pump. Coolant circulates through the cylinder block and water pump to provide a uniform and fast warm-up.
When the coolant temperature increases to normal operating temperature, the thermostat opens. This allows the coolant to
flow to the top of the radiator and also blocks the flow through the bypass passage. If the engine is operated without a
thermostat, only a small amount of water is directed to the radiator. Enough coolant will flow through the bypass passage to
cause overheating.
When the engine is operated, the coolant temperature rises. It is cooled by the radiator to prevent further temperature rise. If
the engine is overloaded or operated continuously for a long period of time, coolant temperature may continue to rise past the
radiator cap opening pressure setting. The pressurized radiator cap will then open and exhaust excess pressure through the
overflow hose to the coolant reservoir tank.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9010 page 3 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The engine lubrication system consists of an oil strainer, oil pump (with pressure regulating valve), and oil filter (with bypass
valve).
Oil is drawn through the oil strainer screen by the oil pump.
The oil pump incorporates a built-in pressure regulating valve that maintains the correct pressure in the lubricating system
regardless of engine speed or the oil temperature. When pressure exceeds the setting of the valve, the valve will open, routing
the excess oil to the oil pan.
Pressurized oil is directed to the oil filter. The filter element is equipped with an integral bypass valve. When pressure exceeds
the spring force, the valve will open if the filter becomes plugged.
Filtered oil is routed to the main oil gallery in the cylinder block. Oil flows to each crankshaft main bearing and through cross-
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9010 page 4 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The oil gallery also supplies pressure oil to the idler gear bush and timing gear. Pressure oil is also supplied to the cylinder
head, rocker shaft and rocker arms.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9010 page 5 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
A single fire fuel injection pump is used for each cylinder. It is actuated by a roller tappet riding on a lobe camshaft. It is timed
to pump fuel to the fuel injection nozzle of the same cylinder on the compression stroke. Pressurized fuel from the electric fuel
pump is maintained in the fuel injection pump until the camshaft lobe opens a passage to discharge fuel to the fuel injection
nozzle which injects fuel into the cylinder. Excess fuel from the fuel injection pump and fuel injection nozzle is returned to the
fuel tank by means of return lines.

The fuel injection nozzle is a hole-type nozzle. The nozzle valve (G) is shim (J) adjustable to regulate the opening pressure.
High pressure fuel from the injection pump flows through a fuel inlet passage. Pressure builds beneath the nozzle valve. When
the fuel pressure reaches specified pressure, it overcomes the nozzle spring (I) tension. The nozzle valve (G) retracts into the
nozzle body (F) and fuel is injected into the engine.
The nozzle valve is automatically pushed down by the nozzle spring (I) and closed after fuel is injected.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9010 page 6 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
Leakage (return fuel) flows from between the nozzle valve and nozzle body to the hole on top of the nozzle spring, through the
fuel return pipe fitting (A) and back into the fuel tank.

Combustion seal failures occur when combustion gases escape between cylinder head and head gasket combustion flange, or
between combustion flange and cylinder liner. Leaking combustion gases may vent to an adjacent cylinder, to a coolant or oil
passage, or externally.
Coolant or oil seal failures occur when oil or coolant escapes between cylinder head and gasket body, or between cylinder
block and gasket body. The oil or coolant may leak to an adjacent coolant or oil passage, or externally. Since oil and coolant
passages are primarily on right-hand (camshaft) side of engine, fluid leaks are most likely to occur in that area.
Follow these diagnostic procedures when a head gasket joint failure occurs or is suspected.
[1] - Before starting or disassembling engine, conduct a visual inspection of machine and note any of the following:
Oil or coolant in head gasket seam, or on adjacent surfaces. Especially right rear corner of gasket joint
Displacement of gasket from normal position
Discoloration or soot from combustion gas leakage
Leaking radiator, overflow tank, or hoses
Leaking coolant from water pump weep hole
Damaged or incorrect radiator, fan, or shroud
Obstructed air flow or coolant flow
Worn or slipping belts
Damaged or incorrect pressure cap
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9010 page 33 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
[3] - Start and warm up engine if it can be safely operated. Examine all potential leakage areas again as outlined previously.
Using appropriate test and measurement equipment, check for the following:
[4] - Shut engine down. Recheck crankcase, radiator, and overflow tank for any significant differences in fluid levels, viscosity,
or appearance.
[5] - Compare your observations from above steps with the diagnostic charts earlier in this group. If diagnostic evaluations
provide conclusive evidence of combustion gas, coolant, or oil leakage from head gasket joint, the cylinder head must be
removed for inspection and repair of gasket joint components. See Cylinder Head Repair for head gasket replacement. (Group

All System Functional Schematics, Circuit Schematics, and Wiring Diagrams are shown with key switch in
the OFF position.
The System Functional Schematic is made up of equal sections to simplify searching the schematic. Each section of the System
Functional Schematic is assigned a number (7). The System Functional Schematic is formatted with power supply wires (2)
shown across the top of the drawing and ground wires (5) across the bottom. The schematic contains no harness or connector
information.
Each electrical component is shown by a schematic symbol (10), the component name (8), and a component identification
number (9). A component identification number and name will remain the same throughout the Operation and Test Technical
Manual. This will allow for easy cross-referencing of all electrical drawings (Schematics, Wiring Diagrams, and Component
Location).
Routing location information (3) is presented to let the reader know when a wire is connected to a component in another
section. TO and FROM statements identify when power is going “To” or coming “From” a component in a different location. The
section and component number are given in parenthesis at the bottom of the statement. In the example, power is going TO
component F15 Horn Fuse, in section SE15.
Each harness on the machine is drawn showing components, connectors, and wires. Harnesses are identified by a “W”
component identification number and description (W6 ENGINE HARNESS, Etc.).
Each component is represented by a schematic symbol and is identified by a component identification number and name (3).
Components with integral connectors (6) have pin number/letters indicated (7). Wires from harness to components are
identified by color or number designation (4). Component identification number (5) indicates the component a wire is routed
TO.
Main harness connectors (2) are identified by a “X” component identification number and description (X28 CAB TO ENGINE
BULKHEAD CONNECTOR, Etc.). Harness connector description indicates which harnesses connect together. Connector pin

letters or numbers (1) are indicated as they are marked on the connector. Wires attached to each connector pin are identified
by color or number (10). Component identification number (9) indicates destination of each wire.
The Component Location Diagram is a pictorial view by harness showing location of all electrical components, connectors,
harness main ground locations and harness band and clamp location. Each component will be identified by the same
identification letter/number and description used in the System Functional Schematic Diagram.
The Connector End View Diagram is a pictorial end view of the component connectors showing the number of pins in the
connector and the wire color and identifier of the wire in every connector. Each component will be identified by the same
identification letter/number and description used in the System Functional Schematic Diagram.

Y7 Fuel Shut-Off Solenoid
Y14 Fuel Transfer Pump
When the key switch (S1) is turned to the ON position, battery voltage is routed to the fuel transfer pump (Y14), pin 3 of fuel
shut-off solenoid (Y7), glow plug relay (K29), and glow plug timer (B10). The voltage to pin 3 of the fuel shut-off solenoid will
not cause the solenoid to open. This voltage will hold the solenoid open once it is opened by a signal at pin 2. When the glow
plug timer receives the voltage signal, it grounds pins 2 and 5, turning on the glow plug indicator (H9) and activating the glow
plug relay. The length of time that pins 2 and 5 remain grounded depends on the signal that the glow plug timer receives from
the glow timer engine coolant sensor (B53). When the engine is cold, the glow plugs and glow plug indicator will stay on for
approximately five seconds. When the engine is warm, the glow plugs and glow plug indicator will turn on, but will turn back off
after less than a second.
When the key switch is turned to the START position, battery voltage is routed to the same components as in the ON position
as well as to pin 1 of the glow plug timer, pin 2 of the fuel shut-off solenoid, and through the starter relay (K12) to the starter
(M1). The glow plug timer activates the glow plug indicator and the glow plugs any time the key switch is in the start position.
The starter motor rotates and cranks the engine. Once the engine is started, a signal from the L terminal of the alternator (G3)
is sent to the starter protection controller (A8). This causes pin 4 of the starter protection controller to be routed to ground and
activates the starter relay so that the starter motor cannot be activated when the engine is running. The voltage at pin 2 of the
fuel shut-off solenoid causes the solenoid to activate so that fuel can be delivered to the engine. The voltage at pin 3 will hold
the solenoid in the activated position once the key switch is returned to the ON position.
When the engine is running, the alternator provides power to all machine circuits and charges the battery.
When the key switch is ON and the engine is not running, the voltage at terminal L is 0 and current flows from the battery
indicator lamp on the meter panel through terminal L, lighting the alternator voltage indicator light (H18).
When the key switch is ON and the engine is running, the voltage at alternator terminal L is equal to or greater than the battery
voltage. This results in no current flow through the monitor controller and display (A5) and terminal L of alternator (G3),
causing alternator voltage indicator light (H18) to go out.
If the alternator fails while the engine is running, causing the voltage at terminal L to drop below the battery voltage, current
will flow through the alternator voltage indicator light (H18), illuminating the light. The lower the voltage at terminal L, the
greater the current flow through the alternator voltage indicator light (H18), and the brighter the light will illuminate.

The monitor controller and display (A5) receives signals from the engine coolant overheat switch (B46), engine oil pressure
switch (B4), fuel level sender (R5), glow plug timer (B10), alternator (G3), and coolant temperature gauge sensor (B9). The
controller takes this information and turns on warning lights, activates alarms, or actuates the gauges. The monitor controller
and display activates the monitor controller and display alarm (H8) when the coolant overheat switch closes, the engine oil
pressure switch opens, or the fuel level gets low.
The monitor controller and display is powered by the monitor controller and display 5 amp fuse (F10) and the back-up power 5
amp fuse (F11). Both fuses must be intact for the monitor controller and display to function, however, the indicator lights will
function without the back-up power 5 amp fuse.
The drive and boom work light switch (S6), when pressed, sends a ground signal to the monitor controller and display which in
turn sends a ground path to the drive and boom work light relay (K3) and to the monitor controller and display backlight (E4),
turning the backlight on. The drive and boom work light relay is then activated, providing power to the drive light (E2), boom
work light (E12), and the radio to cab harness connector (X34).
The glow plug indicator (H9) illuminates when the glow plug timer (B10) provides a ground path to the indicator lamp during
the preheating of the glow plugs (R12, R13, R14, R15).

Y8 Pilot Control Shut-Off Solenoid
The pilot control shut-off circuit consists of the pilot control shut-off solenoid valve (Y8), and pilot control shut-off switch (S21).
The pilot control shut-off switch is designed to shut off hydraulic pilot pressure to all pilot controllers and the shut-off valve.
This prevents accidental machine movement when operator enters and exits the machine.
When the engine is running and left armrest is down, the pilot control shut-off switch (S21) is enabled (closed). This completes
ground circuit to pilot control shut-off solenoid (Y8), allowing hydraulic pilot pressure to all pilot controllers and the shut-off
valve.
If the pilot control shut-off switch (S10) or the harness fail, the emergency pilot control shut-off 2 pin connector (X36) can be
used to restore temporary power to the pilot control shut-off solenoid (Y8) to return the machine to a safe position. With the
emergency pilot control shut-off 2 pin connector (X36) in place of the main harness to propel speed change connector (X13),
the propel speed switch (S8) provides the ground path to the pilot control shut-off solenoid (Y8). The pilot control shut-off
solenoid (Y8) will only stay activated as long as the propel speed switch (S8) is pressed.

The propel alarm circuit consists of a left and right propel pressure sensors (B15 and B16), propel alarm controller (A10), propel
alarm (H3), and a propel alarm cancel switch (S10).
The circuit is designed to warn bystanders of machine movement by signaling with an audible alarm any time the propel levers
are moved.
When the propel levers are moved, propel pressure sensor (B15) left or (B16) right sense pilot pressure and send a signal to
the propel alarm controller (A10). The propel alarm controller then provides ground to the propel alarm (H3), activating the
alarm.
When pressed, the propel alarm cancel switch (S10) applies ground to pin 7 of the propel alarm controller (A10). The propel
alarm cancel switch (S10) must be pressed and released in order to cancel the alarm. The propel alarm controller (A10) is reset
when the control levers are returned to the neutral position. The propel alarm cancel switch (S10) must be pressed and
released again to cancel the alarm.

The propel gearbox is a double reduction planetary drive. The gearboxes are interchangeable from the right to the left side of
machine. The propel motor (1) is connected to and turns the gearbox input shaft (13) through a spline connection. The function
of the propel gearbox is to convert fast rotary speed and low torque from the propel motor to a slow rotary speed and high
torque to rotate the sprocket (3).
Rotary motion is transferred from the input shaft (13) to the sprocket (3) by the two planetary gear sets that mesh with the
ring gear (10). As the input shaft turns, it turns the first planet gears (9) against the ring gear causing the first planet carrier (5)
to rotate. The first planet carrier turns the second planet sun gear (4) through a spline connection. The second planet sun gear
is in mesh with and turns the second planet gears (12) in the second planet carrier (11). The second planet carrier is fixed to
the propel motor housing and does not rotate so the rotation of the second planet gears is transferred to and turns the ring
gear. The ring gear (10), drum (14) and sprocket (3) all turn as a unit driving the track chain to move the machine.
A replaceable thrust plug (7) is used in the cover (8) to keep the floating input shaft in position.

The hydraulic pump housing contains two pumps; hydraulic pump (1) and a pilot pump. The hydraulic pump is fastened to the
engine flywheel housing and driven at engine speed through a flex coupling. The hydraulic pump is a swashplate type variable
displacement axial piston pump that supplies high pressure to the control valve. Hydraulic oil flows from the hydraulic oil tank
(19) through a suction screen to the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic oil tank is pressurized to create a head of oil to ensure oil
flows from the tank, through the suction line, and into the pumps.
Being a closed-center system, when the pilot control shut-off lever is in the locked (armrest up) position, shut-off valve (34)
routes supply pressure to hold pressure compensators (38, 44, 52, 59, 64, 68, 72, 77, and 82) closed blocking supply oil flow.
When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the unlocked (armrest down) and all valves are in the neutral position, supply oil flow
is blocked by the valve spools (36, 42, 50, 57, 62, 66, 70, 76, 77, and 80). Supply oil pressure builds and is relieved through the
unload valve (29) and returned to the hydraulic oil tank. Oil cooler bypass valve (18) opens to route return oil around oil cooler
(17) and directly into the hydraulic oil tank when resistance is high because the oil is cold (high viscosity), there is a surge of
return oil, or the oil cooler becomes plugged.
Functions are actuated when supply oil is routed to motors (87, 92, and 100) and cylinders (89, 90, 91, 102, and 103) by the
shifting of control valve spools by pilot controller regulated pilot pressure.

The pilot system operates the control circuits with regulated pilot oil pressure for each of the following circuits:
Control Valve Operation: The control valve consists of nine individual function control valves (36, 42, 50, 57, 62, 66, 70, 75,
and 80). Pilot pressure shifts control valve spools allowing work port pressure to actuate selected functions. Pilot controllers
(21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 104) supply regulated pilot oil (U) to the control valve pilot caps which in turn controls the valve spool
operation. See Control Valve Operation for more information. (Group 9025-05.)
Pump Flow Rate Control: Pilot oil pressures control the hydraulic pump (1) swash angle. This circuit consists of the pilot flow
rate sensing manifold (9) and the control valve differential reducing valve (30). Pilot oil pressure PGR (T) from the pilot flow
rate sensing manifold and pilot oil pressure PLS (S) from the control valve differential reducing valve are supplied to both spool
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 4 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
ends of the pump delivery flow rate valve (3) respectively. The pump delivery flow rate valve controls the hydraulic pump
swash angle in response to the pressure difference between PGR and PLS pressures.
The following will provide more information on hydraulic pump flow rate control:
Propel Speed Change Circuit: Pilot oil pressure is used to control propel fast and slow speed modes. This circuit consists of
the propel speed solenoid valve (16) and the propel speed change valve (95). When the fast speed pedal is pressed, the propel
speed change switch is on. This energizes the propel speed solenoid valve (16) which sends pilot oil to shift the propel speed
change valve (95) in the propel motors (92 and 100).
The following will provide more information on the propel speed change circuit:
Swing Park Brake Release Circuit: Pilot oil pressure is used to release the swing park brake (86). This circuit consists of the
pilot shut-off switch and the pilot control shut-off solenoid valve (15). When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the unlocked
position (armrest down), the pilot shut-off switch is on. This energizes the pilot control shut-off solenoid valve supply pilot oil to
release the swing park brake (86).
The following will provide more information on the swing park brake release circuit:
Pilot Pump
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 5 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The purpose of the pilot pump is to supply pilot pressure for the operation of the control valves. This pressure is directed to the
control valves through the operation of the pilot controllers.
The pilot pump is a gear pump. A drive gear is mounted on the shaft engaging the driven gear.
When the drive gear rotates, the driven gear also rotates. Hydraulic oil from the suction port fills the spaces between the gears,
then flows along the inner surfaces of the housing and discharges through the delivery port.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 6 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The solenoid valve manifold contains the propel speed solenoid valve (8), pilot control shut-off solenoid valve (9), and pilot
pressure regulating valve (7). This assembly is mounted on a bracket located at the right side of the machine, under the
hydraulic oil tank access cover.
The pilot control shut-off solenoid valve is switched ON/OFF by the position of the pilot control shut-off lever (1).
When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the LOCK position (armrest up), the pilot shut-off switch (2) is OFF. By this action, the
pilot control shut-off solenoid valve is de-energized so that pilot pressure is blocked by the solenoid valve spool; pressure oil is
not delivered to the pilot controllers.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 7 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the UNLOCK position (armrest down), the pilot shut-off switch is ON. By this action,
the pilot control shut-off solenoid valve is energized so pilot pressure is supplied to the pilot controllers and the swing motor
park brake through the solenoid valve spool.
The propel speed is controlled by the propel speed switch (1) that is actuated by a pedal.
When the foot pedal is in the slow speed position (not being pressed), the propel speed switch is OFF. By this action, the propel
speed solenoid valve is de-energized so that pilot pressure is blocked by the solenoid valve spool; pilot oil is not being applied
to the propel speed change valves in the propel motors.
When the foot pedal is pressed, the propel speed switch is ON. By this action, the propel speed solenoid valve is energized so
that pilot pressure is delivered through the solenoid valve spool to the propel speed change valves in the propel motors .
The pilot pressure regulating valve prevents pressure in the circuit from exceeding a preset pressure. When the pressure in the
pilot circuit increases to the pressure setting of spring (C), the poppet (B) moves to relieve hydraulic oil pressure through the
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 8 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
poppet hole. The oil then passes into the return passage of the solenoid valve manifold back to the hydraulic oil tank.

The pilot flow rate sensing manifold (9) senses pilot pump delivery flow rate and produces a signal pressure PGR to control the
hydraulic pump flow rate. The pilot pump is a fixed displacement pump so that the delivery flow rate changes directly in
proportion to engine speed.
The pilot flow rate sensing manifold is located in the pilot circuit between the pilot pump and the solenoid valve manifold. In
response to change in engine speed, pressure signal PGR is routed from PGR port (D) to the hydraulic pump delivery flow rate
valve to regulate the pump swash plate angle. The pilot flow rate sensing manifold consists of the differential reducing valve
(10), variable metering valve (11), and variable metering orifice (12).

Actuating machine functions cause engine speed to constantly change due to the varying loads on the hydraulic pump. The
pilot pump is a fixed displacement pump so changes in engine speed directly effect the pilot pump delivery rate. Pilot oil (P) is
routed to the PPHI port (B), variable metering orifice (12), variable metering valve spool (F), and piston (I). The differential
pressure across the variable metering orifice changes due to the pilot pump delivery rate changes. Variable metering valve
spool (F) and differential reducing valve spool (H) shift so that the pressure force balances as follows: (Pressure PGR x Area S3
+ Pressure PPLO x Area S2 = Pressure PPHI x Area S1). Thereby, pressure PGR becomes equal to the differential pressure
across the variable metering orifice: (Pressure PPHI - Pressure PPLO).
The differential pressure between PPHI port (B) and PPLO port (A) determines which way the differential reducing valve spool is
shifted. The differential reducing valve (10) regulates pressure PGR at PGR port (D).
When (Pressure PGR x Area S3 + Pressure PPLO x Area S2) is greater than (Pressure PPHI x Area S1) the differential
reducing valve spool (H) shifts to the right; pressure PGR is connected to return at notch B (L), reducing pressure PGR
When (Pressure PGR x Area S3 + Pressure PPLO x Area S2) is less than (Pressure PPHI x Area S1) piston (I) and differential
reducing valve spool (H) shifts to the left so that PPLO port (A) is opened at notch A (K), increasing pressure PGR.
When pressure PPHI force increases more then the spring force of spring (E), the variable metering valve spool (F) is shifted to
the left. When the spool is shifted to the left, pressure PPHI is routed through notch A (K) of the differential reducing valve (10)
so that the differential pressure between PPHI port (B) and PPLO port (A) doesn′t increase more then specified value.

The pilot controllers regulate the pilot oil (15) pressure to shift the control valve spools to actuate the dig functions. See Control
Valve Operation for control valve operation. (Group 9025-05.)
Each controller contains four valves. The ports (10, 11, and 12) in housing (9) are identified by numbers and letters next to
each port. The valves are pressure reducing valves controlled by the movement of the control lever (1) and plunger (2).
Moving the control lever to actuate a function pushes the plunger and spring guide (3) against the balance spring (4) which
moves the spool (7) down. During the initial movement (14) there is a deadband area (13) where the return oil (16) flow
through the holes (8) to port T is blocked before pilot oil can flow from port P through the spool to the work port and out to the
control valve pilot caps (10). Pilot oil pressure also flows through the orifice (6) to the top of the spool to dampen the upward
movement of spool. Pilot oil pressure increases until the pressure is equal to the force of the balance spring. The balance
spring pushes the spool up until the oil flow through the holes is blocked in the deadband area. With the oil flow blocked, the
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 13 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
control valve spool is held stationary until the control lever is again actuated.
When the control lever is actuated to full stroke, the plunger contacts the spool pushing it down until the plunger contacts a
shoulder in the housing. Oil pressure to the control valve pilot caps is now approximately equal to pilot system pressure.
When the control lever is returned to neutral, the spool is pulled up by the return spring (5) and pushes the plunger up. The
return springs hold the control lever in the center position. With the spool up, the passage to the control valve pilot cap is open
to port T and pilot oil from port P is blocked.

One pilot controller is used to control the propel functions. The controller contains four valve assemblies, one for each direction
of travel for each track.
The pilot controller consists of the cam (1), plunger (2), plunger spring guide (3), plunger spring (4), spool spring guide (5),
spool (6), return spring (7), and balance spring (8).
In neutral, the spool is pushed up by the return spring blocking pilot oil at port P from the pilot control shut-off valve (11). With
the spool up, hole (10) connects the work port to control valve propel spool pilot cap (12) to port T to hydraulic oil tank (9) by
the passage through the spool.
When the pedal or lever is pushed to move the machine, the cam pushes the plunger and spool spring guide down against the
return spring and balance spring. The balance spring pushes the spool down. As the spool is pushed down the passage from
the control valve propel spool pilot cap to the hydraulic oil tank is closed and then is opened to the pilot oil from pilot control
shut-off valve. When the pilot oil pressure to the control valve propel spool pilot cap is equal to the force applied by the balance
spring the spool moves up trapping the oil to the pilot cap.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 15 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
When the pedal or lever moves the cam to full stroke, the plunger compresses plunger spring (4) and return spring (7) allowing
the plunger to push directly on the spool. The plunger holds the spool down so the passage through spool remains open to pilot
oil. Oil pressure to the control valve propel spool pilot cap now equals pilot oil pressure.

through spool remains open to pilot oil. Oil pressure to the control valve propel spool pilot cap now equals pilot oil pressure.

The blade controller is operated by a lever located to the right of the operator′s seat. When the lever is pulled back, pilot oil is
routed to the control valve blade valve spool blade raise pilot cap. When the lever is pushed forward, pilot oil is routed to the
control valve blade valve spool blade lower pilot cap. When the lever is released, it returns to the neutral (center) position.
The boom swing controller is operated by a pedal located on the right side of the cab floor. When the pedal is rocked to the left,
pilot oil is routed to the control valve boom swing spool swing left pilot cap. When the pedal is rocked to the right, pilot oil is
routed to the control valve boom swing spool swing right pilot cap. When the pedal is released, it returns to the neutral (center)
position.
The auxiliary controller is used for any add on accessories such as an auger, pile driver, etc. The controller is operated by a
pedal located on the left side of the cab floor. The operation of the rocking of the pedal is determined by the accessory
attached. The auxiliary control valve works in conjunction with the one way/two way valve. See One Way/Two Way Valve
Operation for more information. (Group 9025-05.)
Hydraulic Pump
The pump shaft (1) is splined to the cylinder block (2) and pistons (3) are inserted in the cylinder block.
The engine rotation drives the shaft directly and rotates the cylinder block and pistons together. The pistons slide on the thrust
plate (4) and reciprocate in the cylinder block by the tilt of the swash plate (5).

Power Control
To prevent the load of hydraulic pump and pilot pump from exceeding the engine torque, the hydraulic pump regulates
delivery flow rate.
When the hydraulic pump delivery pressure increases more than the load pressure, the increased pressure acts on the pistons
(1). The pressure force on the pistons pushes the swash plate (2) around the oscillation pin (3) until the pressure force equals
the spring (4) force. As a result, the hydraulic pump decreases delivery flow rate. Depending on the delivery oil pressure, the
delivery flow rate from the hydraulic pump is controlled so that the total power required to drive hydraulic pump and pilot
pump does not exceed engine power.
Flow rate control regulates the pump delivery flow rate in response to change in loads on pump pistons and motors.
Pilot oil PGR varies in proportion to engine speed and is sent from the pilot flow rate sensing manifold. Pilot oil PLS varies in
response to the pressure change from the actuators and is sent from the control valve differential reducing valve. Until
pressure PGR becomes equal to pressure PLS, the pump delivery flow rate valve regulates the pump delivery flow rate.
Pilot oil from the pump delivery flow rate valve is routed to the control piston (5). The control piston pushes the swash plate (2)
around the oscillation pin (3) until force equals the spring (4) force.
As the delivery flow rate from hydraulic pump varies, the pressure oil supplied to the control valve varies. As the pressure oil to
the control valve varies, pilot oil pressure PLS, from the control valve differential reducing valve, varies. Pilot oil PLS and PGR
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 19 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
are routed to the pump delivery flow rate valve. When these pressures become equal, the hydraulic pump swash plate stops
tilting.
The pump delivery flow rate valve controls the hydraulic pump delivery flow rate in response to a change in pressure difference
between pilot oil PGR and pilot oil PLS.
Pilot oil PGR varies in proportion to engine speed and is sent from the pilot flow rate sensing manifold. Pilot oil PLS varies in
response to the pressure change from the actuators and is sent from the control valve differential reducing valve. The flow rate
valve consists of spool (1), sleeve (2) and springs (3).
Pilot oil PGR and PLS are routed to either end of the flow rate valve, moving the spool to either the right or the left. Then, the
oil ports in the flow rate valve are shifted. The oil pressure routed from the flow rate valve to the control piston in the hydraulic
pump varies in response to spool movement. The control piston pushes the swash plate around the oscillation pin until force
equals the spring force.
When pressure PGR is greater than pressure PLS, actuator load has increased. Delivery flow rate from the hydraulic pump is
increased.
When pressure PLS is greater than pressure PGR, actuator load has decreased. Delivery flow rate from the hydraulic pump is
reduced.

The control valve is an assembly consisting of eleven valve sections (A—K), nine of which are function control valves. The
remaining two sections are for the supply oil inlet and shut-off (J) and load sense (K). The control valve is a closed circuit
system. The function control valves control flow rate and direction for each of their respective hydraulic circuits. The valve
spools are controlled by pilot pressure. All valve spools are accessible by removal of a plug or pilot cap.
Individual circuits are protected by circuit relief valves (39, 41, 47, 49, 54, 56, 79, 105, and 106). The system relief valve (28)
prevents hydraulic pump delivery pressure from exceeding set pressure. See System Relief Valve Operation for more
information. (Group 9025-05.)
When the spools in the control valve are in the neutral position (all pilot controllers in neutral), the delivery pressure from the
hydraulic pump flows back to the hydraulic oil tank through unload valve (29). See Unload Valve Operation for more
information. (Group 9025-05.).
The control valve differential reducing valve (30) supplies pressure PLS to the pump delivery flow rate valve to regulate pump
flow rate. See Control Valve Differential Reducing Valve Operation for more information. (Group 9025-05.).
The variable relief valve (27) prevents the maximum load pressure PLMAX in the circuit after the spool from exceeding

The system relief valve prevents hydraulic pump delivery pressure from exceeding set pressure.
The pressure on port HP acts on pilot poppet (8) through orifice (2) in main poppet (1) and orifice (4) in seat (5).
When the pressure in port HP exceeds the set pressure, pilot poppet (8) opens to release a small quantity of pressure oil to port
LP (tank) via passage (6) of seat (5).
At this time, a pressure difference between port HP and spring chamber (9) occurs, caused by orifice (2). By this pressure
difference, main poppet (1) opens when it becomes greater than spring (3) force, to relieve the pressure oil from port HP to
port LP (tank).
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 25 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The variable relief valve prevents the maximum load pressure PLMAX in the circuit after the spool from exceeding hydraulic
pump delivery pressure.
When circuit pressure is relieved, pressure PLMAX and pressure P1 are equal. Pressure PLMAX and pressure PGR, from the
differential reducing valve, are routed to the variable relief valve and act against spring force. When the spring force is
overcome, the valve opens allowing pressure PLMAX to flow to the hydraulic oil tank. The variable relief valve and system relief
valve have the same relief pressure setting.
Pilot oil PGR (1) flows into chamber A (2). Pressure increases in chamber A and acts against area S1 (3). Pressure oil PLMAX (5)
flows into chamber B (6). Pressure increases in chamber B and acts against area S2 (7). The combined forces of PGR and
PLMAX working against the poppet will force the poppet to move right against the spring. Spring (8) force pushes the poppet to
the left. The pressure forces pushing the spool from both ends is expressed as: (Pressure PGR x Area S1) + (Pressure PLMAX x
Area S2) = (Spring Force).
When the engine is running, pressure PGR and pressure PLMAX act on the poppet before pressure PLMAX increases to the
system relief pressure setting. When pressure PGR and pressure PLMAX overcome the spring force, the poppet opens allowing
pressure PLMAX to flow to the hydraulic oil tank (9).
The pressure on port HP acts on the spring chamber through the poppet passage, so the pressure on port HP and spring
chamber becomes equal. When the pressure on port HP is higher, the closing force (Pressure in Spring Chamber x Pressurized
Area S2) becomes greater than the opening force of the poppet (Port HP x Pressurized Area S1), the poppet closes.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 26 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
When the pressure on port HP is lower than the return pressure on port LP (pressure on port HP is almost zero), the closing
force of the poppet is only the spring force. When return pressure is higher than HP, return pressure acting on the shoulder of
the poppet will move it right and allow oil from the return passage to flow into the work port.

The circuit relief valve has two operations; one is the relief operation which prevents the pressure in the actuator circuit from
exceeding the set pressure, and the other is the make-up operation which prevents cavitation. The circuit relief valve is
provided in boom, arm, bucket and blade circuits.
Relief Operation
When the pressure in the actuator circuit rises, pressure oil is relieved to the hydraulic oil tank. The pressure on port HP acts on
pilot poppet (4) via passage (8) in piston (9).
When the pressure on port HP exceeds the set pressure, pilot poppet (4) opens. Then, the pressure oil can flow to port LP
(tank) via passage (6) in seat (3). At this time, the pressure difference between port HP and spring chamber (7) occurs, caused
by orifice (8). By this pressure difference, main poppet (1) opens when it becomes greater than spring (2) force, to relieve the
pressure oil from HP to port LP (tank).
Make-Up Operation
When actuator speed increases faster than the pressure used to actuate it, the circuit relief valve supplies hydraulic oil from
the hydraulic oil tank into the actuator circuit to prevent cavitation.
Oil pressure in port HP becomes less than return oil pressure in port LP (tank). The higher pressure of return oil acts on face of
main poppet (1) and sleeve (10) to overcome spring (2) force. Return oil flows from port LP (tank) into port HP preventing
cavitation.

The pressure compensator is used to make sure oil is routed to all functions when operating multiple functions at one time. It
regulates oil flow passing through the control valve spool (2) so that the differential pressure in the circuit before and after the
spool is kept constant. The pressure compensator is located before the valve spool in each control valve section.
Pressure oil PL (12), pressure oil after the spool, is routed into chamber A (11). Pressure PL acts against area S1 (10) pushing
the spool to the right. Pilot oil PLS (14), from the differential reducing valve, is routed into chamber B (9). Pressure PLS acts
against area S2 (8) pushing the spool to the right. Pressure oil P1 (1), pressure oil before the spool, is routed into chamber C (5)
through passage (6) in spool (7). Pressure P1 acts against area S3 (4) and piston (3) pushing the spool to the left. The pressure
forces pushing the spool from both ends is expressed as: (Pressure PL x Area S1) + (Pressure PLS x Area S2) = (Pressure P1 x
Area S3).
When the pressure difference between pressure P1 and pressure PL is higher than pressure PLS, the spool is pushed to the left.
Then, notch (13) gradually closes, reducing hydraulic oil flow through the spool. As a result, the pressure oil routed into the
circuit before the spool is reduced. Therefore, pressure P1 is decreased, reducing the differential pressure before and after the
spool.

When the differential pressure between pressure P1 and pressure PL is lower than pressure PLS, the spool is pushed to the

Oil from swing control valve is routed through the work ports and valve plate to the pistons.
In operation, high pressure supply oil enters the cylinder block bores through ports forcing pistons down against the inclined
swash plate. The slippers slide down the inclined swash plate causing the cylinder block and output shaft to turn. Swing speed
varies depending on the amount of supply oil delivered by the hydraulic pump through the control valve.
During the second half of motor′s revolution, low pressure oil is discharged as pistons slide back up the inclined swash plate. To
reverse rotation, oil flow is reversed. A small amount of supply oil flows through the center of each piston to ball joint and to
face of slipper for lubrication.
The swing park brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. The disk plate (4) is connected by splines to rotate with the
cylinder block. When the pilot control shut-off switch is off, pilot oil is blocked from the park brake piston by the pilot control
shut-off solenoid valve. The brake springs squeeze the plate and disk together to prevent the upperstructure from swinging.
The park brake is released when the pilot control shut-off switch is on and the pilot control shut-off solenoid is energized.

There are two crossover relief valves (2) located in the swing motor cover (1). The relief valves function to reduce shocks
developed when starting or stopping swing movement (shockless) and to protect the circuit from overloading (relief).
When the pressure in the circuit increases, the pressure oil enters the piston chamber via orifice in poppet and housing to
move the piston. The pressure in the spring chamber is kept low during the movement of the piston. Therefore, when the
pressure on port HP exceeds the spring set force, the poppet opens to relieve hydraulic oil.
When the piston moves to the stroke end, pressure in the spring chamber becomes equal to the pressure on port HP. As a
result, the relief set force overcomes the normal pressure, so the poppet closes.
When operating the swing suddenly in the reverse direction, pressure will be routed to the opposite side (port LP, in this case)
of the piston to return the piston to its original position.
When the pressure in the circuit exceeds the relief set pressure, the force acting on the poppet [Pressurized Area (S1—S2) x
Pressure on Port HP] exceeds the spring force, causing the poppet to open and allow hydraulic oil to be relieved.

There are two make-up check valves (2) located in swing motor cover (1).
When the upperstructure swings downward on a slope, the upperstructure is accelerated by its own weight and moves quicker
than the swing motor drive speed developed by the hydraulic pump oil flow rate. Therefore, cavitation can occur in the circuit.
To prevent cavitation when oil pressure in the circuit is lower than pressure at port M (hydraulic oil tank pressure), the poppet
opens, drawing hydraulic oil into the circuit.

The park brake is a wet-type, single disk, negative type brake. A negative type brake is spring applied and hydraulically

Brake Released
When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the UNLOCKED position, the pilot shut-off switch is ON. By this action, the pilot shut-

off solenoid valve is energized, so that the brake release pressure (pilot pressure) is guided to the brake piston chamber to
push the brake piston upward, allowing the brake piston and the disc plate contact to free, which releases the brake.
Brake Applied
When the pilot control shut-off lever is in the LOCKED position, the pilot shut-off switch is OFF. By this action, the pilot shut-off
solenoid valve is de-energized, so that the brake release pressure (pilot pressure) is not guided to the brake piston chamber.
The brake release pressure oil in the brake piston chamber flows back to the hydraulic oil tank via the pilot shut-off solenoid
valve.
Accordingly, by the spring, the brake piston gradually moves downward, allowing the brake piston to slowly come in contact
with the disc plate to apply the swing brake.

The propel motor (2) is a swash plate design, two-speed, axial piston motor that includes the brake valve housing (7), propel
park brake (5), and propel motor speed change valve. The counterbalance valve, propel speed change valve, and relief valves
are integral components of the brake valve housing.
Supply oil flows through the valve plate (6) to half of the pistons (8) in the cylinder block (4). The supply oil forces the pistons
against the swash plate (3). The piston slippers slide down the angle face of the swash plate causing the cylinder block and
drive shaft (1) to rotate. The drive shaft rotation is transferred to the propel gearbox driving the machine. As the cylinder block
and drive shaft turn, half of the pistons are being forced against the swash plate while the remaining pistons in the other half of
the cylinder block are being pushed back into bores by the angle of the swash plate to discharge oil to return.
Forward or reverse travel direction is determined by which half of the valve plate ports and pistons are pressurized by supply
oil from the control valve. swash plate position determines the propel speed of machine actuated by control piston (9).

3 Relief Valve
The propel motor brake valve consists of counterbalance valve (1), propel speed change valve (2), and relief valves (3). The
counterbalance valve has two functions; one is to start and stop the propel smoothly and the other is to prevent the machine
from running away while descending slopes.
The relief valve prevents the pressure in the propel circuit from exceeding the set pressure.
The propel speed change valve is switched by pressure oil from the propel speed solenoid valve. It switches the propel speed
by the control piston.
Counterbalance Valve
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 50 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
The counterbalance valve has two functions; one is to start and stop the propel smoothly and the other is to prevent the
machine from running away while descending slopes.
Propel Operation— When pressure oil from the control valve is supplied to port P1, the pressure oil flows to motor port AM
through the inside of the spool of counterbalance valve and opens the check valve. The return oil from motor port BM is
blocked by the check valve and spool. Thereby, the pressure on port P1 side increases gradually. The pressure on port P1
enters into the spring chamber through an orifice which moves the spool to the right by the pressure at the end surface of the
spool. As a result, the spool notch opens, so port BM and port P2 connect, and the propel motor rotates.
Down Hill Operation— When the machine propels down a slope, the propel motors are forcibly driven by the machine weight
so that the motor draws oil like a pump. The pressure oil in port P1 is drawn into the propel motor so the pressure on port P1
decreases. Thereby, the spool returns to the left and returning oil from port BM to port P2 is restricted, slowing the motor.
Relief Valve
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 51 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
By the following two staged relief operation, the relief valve functions to reduce shocks developed when the propel motor is
started or stopped, and also to prevent overload in the propel circuit.
→NOTE:
The force equal to (Pressure on Port HP x Pressurized Area of Poppet S1) is applied on the poppet to the
opening direction, and force equal to (Pressure in Spring Chamber x Pressurized Area of Poppet S2) +
(Spring Force)] is applied to the closing direction. The pressurized area of poppet S2 is smaller than S1.
Shock Reducing Operation— When the pressure in the circuit increases, the pressure oil enters into the piston chamber
through the orifices of the poppet and seat to move the piston.
While the piston moves, the pressure in the spring chamber is kept low. For this reason, the force applied in the closing
direction of the poppet becomes the same as the spring force.
Accordingly, when the force acting in the opening direction of the poppet (Pressure on Port HP x Pressurized Area of Poppet S1)
becomes greater than the set force of the spring, the poppet opens to relieve the hydraulic oil.
Relief Operation— When the piston moves to the stroke end, the pressure in the spring chamber becomes equal to the
pressure on port HP. (The relief set force overcomes the normal setting pressure, so the poppet closes.)
For this reason, the force equal to (Pressure on Port HP x Pressurized Area of Poppet S1) acts on the opening direction and the
force equal to (Pressure in Spring Chamber x Pressurized Area of Poppet S2) + (Spring Force) acts on the closing direction.
Accordingly, when the force acting on the opening direction of the poppet (Pressure on Port HP x Pressurized Area of Poppet
S1) becomes greater than (Pressure on Spring Chamber x Pressurized Area of Poppet S2) + (Spring Force), the poppet opens to
relieve the hydraulic oil.
The propel speed change valve is switched by pressure oil from the propel speed solenoid valve. It switches the propel speed
by moving the control piston. See Propel Motor Speed Circuit Operation . (Group 9025-05.)

Park Brake
The propel park brake is a wet type, multi-disk, negative type brake. A negative type brake is spring applied and hydraulically
released. The plates are connected to the propel motor housing by teeth and splines and remain stationary with the housing.
The disks are connected to the cylinder block by teeth and splines and rotate with the cylinder block.
Park Brake Released— Actuating the propel function sends supply oil to the propel motors. A small amount of the supply oil
is routed to the piston chamber by the counterbalance valve. When the supply oil pressure overcomes the spring force, the
park brake piston is pushed against the spring. The contact pressure between the plates and disks is reduced so the propel
motor can rotate.
Park Brake Applied— When the propel function is returned to neutral, supply oil to the propel motor is blocked at the control
valve. The counterbalance valve returns to its neutral position opening a passage for oil in the brake chamber to flow out of the
brake chamber. The spring, pushing against the park brake piston, forces the oil in the piston chamber to flow through the
counterbalance valve and into the drain circuit and then back to the hydraulic oil tank. As the piston moves, the opening for oil
to flow from the piston chamber becomes less causing a restriction. The delay caused by the oil flowing through the restriction
is enough to slow the engagement of the park brake to ensure it is only fully applied after the machine has stopped. The spring
pushes the park brake piston against the plates and disks squeezing them together creating enough friction to hold the
machine.
<- Go to Section TOC Section 9025 page 53 50C ZTS Excavator Diagnostic
There are two surfaces on the swash plate; surface (1) and surface (2). Surface (1) makes contact with the housing at slow
speed and surface (2) makes contact with the housing at fast speed.
Two balls are located off the center line on the swash plate so they can roll freely.
When the propel is in slow speed, the pressure oil from the propel speed solenoid valve is not supplied to the propel speed
change valve. Surface (1) of the swash plate makes contact with the housing by the oil pressure acting on the piston and the
spring force in the cylinder block.
As a result, the angle of the swash plate increases which makes the stroke of the piston longer. The motor capacity increases,
causing the propel motor to rotate in slow speed.

7 From Propel Speed Change Valve
When the propel is in fast speed, the pressure oil from the propel speed solenoid valve is supplied to the propel speed change
valve. The propel speed change valve switches to supply the propel pressure oil to the control piston. The swash plate is
pushed by the control piston which makes surface (2) contact with the housing.
As a result, the angle of the swash plate decreases which makes the stroke of the piston shorter. The motor capacity
decreases, causing the propel motor to rotate in fast speed.
When the engine stops, pressure oil applied to the control piston returns to the hydraulic oil tank through the propel speed
change valve. Surface (1) of the swash plate then makes contact with the housing by the spring force in the cylinder block.
As a result, the propel motor is in slow speed position whenever the engine is started.

The one way/two way valve is used with the auxiliary control valve to operate front attachments. When turned, it selects either
single or double work port usage. See illustration for valve positions for each operation.
When auxiliary pedal is rocked to the left, work port pressure is directed to front attachment to operate. Return oil then passes
through the valve to the hydraulic oil tank. No action is accomplished when pedal is rocked to the right as pressure is stopped
at valve.
When auxiliary pedal is rocked either left or right, work port pressure is directed to front attachment to operate two modes of
use. For example, up-down, in-out, left-right. Return oil then passes through the control valve to the hydraulic oil tank.

All cylinders are similar in design. The boom cylinder is illustrated. A large nut (3) acts as a rod guide and retains piston rod (1)
from over extension in cylinder barrel (5). It houses a wiper ring (2), O-ring (4), and bushing (11). The cylinder barrel houses O-
rings (8), backup rings (9), and retainer (10). Some cylinders provide a cushion (6) to provide cushioning action during cylinder
full extension. Incoming pressure for extension moves piston (7). As the piston nears the end of its stroke, the cushion enters a
bore in the rod guide. The remaining return oil ahead of piston flows through a clearance between cushion and rod guide.

6 Return Filter Operation
The filter element (1) is located in a chamber inside the hydraulic oil tank. O-rings are used at each end of the filter element to
prevent leakage. A spring holds the filter element on its seat.
Return oil from the oil cooler (4) and the control valve (5) flows through the filter element from the outside to the center.
Filtered oil flows out the bottom of filter into the hydraulic oil tank.
A bypass valve (2) is located at the top of the filter. The valve opens to protect the filter element against pressure surges in the
return circuit and allows a path for return oil if the filter element becomes plugged. During bypass operation, oil flows into the
chamber faster than it can flow through the filter element causing the pressure to increase. The higher pressure forces the
bypass valve open allowing oil to flow down the center of the filter element and into the hydraulic oil tank. The bypass valve
closes when the pressure decreases below the pressure setting of the bypass valve.

Hydraulic System
IMPORTANT:
If machine temperature is below -18°C (0°F), start procedure with engine running at 1/2 speed. Failure to
do this could cause pump cavitation. Once oil temperature is above -18°C (0°F) the engine speed can be
increased to fast idle.
Below -18°C (0°F) an extended warm-up period may be necessary. Hydraulic function will move slowly and lubrication of parts
may not be adequate with cold oil. Do not attempt normal machine operation until hydraulic functions move at or close to
normal cycle times.
Operate functions slowly and avoid sudden movements until engine and hydraulic oils are thoroughly warmed. Operate a
function by moving it a short distance in each direction. Continue operating the function increasing the distance traveled in
each cycle until full stroke is reached.
For faster warm-up, restrict air flow through oil cooler using cardboard or other similar material. Use correct viscosity oil to
minimize warm-up period. Go to Hydraulic Oil . (Operator′s Manual)

IMPORTANT:
The adjustment to load the engine to rated speed so all available engine horsepower is used is made at
the factory. Adjustment is not recommended except after a repair that requires the replacement of
regulator components. Adjusting the flow rate adjusting screw may not change the engine pulldown
speed.
Before doing the adjustment, proper engine performance with number two diesel fuel must be verified.
Also the engine fast idle speed with no load must be adjusted to specifications.
[1] - Perform Hydraulic System Warm-Up Procedure . (See procedure in this group.)
[3] - Perform Engine Speed Check and adjust engine speeds to specification. (Group 9010-25)
[7] - If engine speed is not to specification, loosen nut (2) and turn the adjustment screw (1) in to decrease engine speed or

As the time that the engine has been operating increases, the coolant absorbs heat from the engine and increases in
temperature. This heat is then transferred into the cab through the heater core. The blower fan moves air across the fins of the
heater core, increasing the amount of heat transferred to the cab.
The speed of the blower fan is controlled by the blower speed switch. The H position applies voltage across the blower motor to
run it at HIGH speed. The L position applies voltage across a resistor and the blower motor, which reduces the amount of
current applied to the blower motor. This setting runs the blower motor at LOW speed. The O position removes voltage from
the blower motor, turning the blower motor off.
