Then check / adjust the 80 bar pressure.

Users of 80 bar are:

80 bar Servo Service Training

80 bar servo pressure is only available if the solenoid -2Y20 is energized.

This happens in the following conditions:

1. After travelling for a time longer then 15 sec.:

=> 10 sec. after stop travelling the pressure increases to 80 bar for 5 sec.

2. If the access ladder is not complete lifted:

If the “ladder down” initiator is not switched, because the ladder is not complete lifted up.
(ladder is to heavy to be lifted with only 60 bar in the system)

Note: If the service lift or ladder are not complete lifted, the swing and travel function is not active! (Safety!!!)

Solenoid Valve Banks Service Training

Travel park brake (Solenoid -2Y17 – (50 bar => reduced to 30 bar)

The travel park brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. The brake is released fully, if we use a pressure of 30 bar.
The solenoid valve -2Y17 is energized and oil flows to the travel park brakes. They are released and held in the released position.
The pressure is reduced to 30 bar to be sure that the brake is open, but 2nd speed should not be active if this valve is energized.

2nd speed travelling (Solenoid -2Y22 – 50 bar)

When the operator shifts the switch in the cab from 'low speed' (turtle) to 'high speed’ (rabbit) the pressure in the line to the travel park brake
and travel motor regulator is increased to 50 bar and the regulators are shifted to low displacement.

The 50 bar overcomes the 30 bar at the shuttle valve [47/1] and the 2nd speed is active.

Swing Park Brake (Solenoid -2Y23 - 50 bar)

The swing park brake is spring applied and hydraulically released. In the de-energised position of solenoid -2Y23, the swing brake is connected to tank.
=> Brakes are applied.
When the swing brake is released, -2Y23 is energised and 50 bar is supplied to the swing brakes, overcoming the spring tension => brakes are released.

Note: You can’t stop the swing movement by using the swing park brake!!! This will occur heavy demolition on the brake disks!

Travel Boost (Solenoid -2Y24 - 50 bar)

The solenoid valve (-2Y24) operates the pressure cut-off valves of main pumps 3 + 5 / 4 + 6 so that the pressure is increased to 320bar + 50bar = 370
bar.

Clam Boost (Solenoid -2Y27 – 50 bar)

The solenoid (-2Y27) operates the pressure cut-off valves of the main pumps 2 + 8, so that the clam pressure is increased to 320bar + 50bar = 370 bar.
