EXLANATION OF PRESSURES
HYDRAULIC
Pump PSI – The pump pressure Indicates the inlet pressure from the pump. This pressure will always be
approximately 200 PSI higher than the load sense pressure. This pressure will never exceed the main relief setting.
Load Sense PSI – The Load Sense PSI indicates the pressure communicated from the hydraulic load. With no
functions operating, the LS pressure should be 0 PSI. There will only be a LS pressure if a function is operating.
Boost / Differential Pressure – The boost or differential (pressure) is the difference between the Pump and the
Load Sense Pressures. Typical load sense hydraulic systems require a boost between 200 and 300 PSI. The boost
pressure is required to overcome the pressure drop across the valves. Using a gear pump, the boost pressure is
set using the boost pressure cartridge. Using a Piston Pump, the boost pressure is adjusted at the pump.

Pump Gage Port (PGP) – Indicates the inlet pressure from the pump. This pressure will be approximately 200 to 300
PSI higher than the Load Sense pressure.
Load Sense (LS2) – Indicates the pressure of the load. If more than one function is operating, the higher load pressure
will be observed. There will only be a pressure from the LS port if a function is operating. Remember, the Pump Gauge
will display a pressure approximately 200 PSI higher than the LS Gauge while a function is operating.
EV1 (Plugged when used with a piston pump) – unloading pressure compensating cartridge. EV1 is a normally closed
-two position - two way -pilot cartridge. It can provide a low pressure path for pump ow to escape to tank. This is its
primary function when the pump is bypassing (no functions operating). The bypass pressure of the pump in this state
will vary from about 20-60 PSI depending upon the pump ow. This pressure will show at PGP. The path to tank is
opened by pump pressure being applied to the left side pilot of EV1 which forces the valve open. The right side pilot
line of EV1 is drained to tank through the TS3 when not engaged (Electrically Actuated Main Relief Valve) to allow the
EV1 valve to open fully.
TS3 – Electrically Actuated Main Relief Valve. TS3 is a normally open two position - two way solenoid operated relief
valve. When its solenoid is not energized it provides a drain path for the pilot pressure on the right side of EV1. This
allows for pilot pressure on the left side of EV1 to push it open and expose a low pressure path for the pump ow to
escape to tank.
TS3 - will energize whenever any function of the Advantage Plus is operating. This closes the pilot drain on the right
side of EV1 and that in-turn causes EV1 to begin shutting off the pump ow escape to tank. Pump ow is now forced to
move toward the actuators as required. If TS3 was energized by itself or manually overridden without any other system
valves functioning, the pressure at PGP would be approximately 200 PSI to 300 PSI. The L.S. port would not show
pressure.
In addition, the TS3 valve is used as the main relief. It is an electrically adjustable relief that can be adjusted up to a
maximum setting of 3000 PSI.
RV1 (Plugged when used with a piston pump) – Boost Pressure Relief Valve. RV1’s purpose is to raise the
differential or boost pressure between PGP and LS by a margin of approximately 200 to 300 PSI. It comes into
play when TS1 is energized. At that point the pilot pressure on the right side of EV1 can only drain through RV1.
RV1’s internal bias spring is set for 200 PSI. That means the pressure of EV1’s pilots (both sides) must build to at
least 200 PSI before the right side pilot can drain through RV1 and allow EV1 to begin to open. This boost pressure
is required to allow ow to get through other cartridge valves in the system to operate functions.
When RV1 has a load-sense pressure applied to its right side, which is communicated from the array of LS check
valves (CV2, CV3, CV4, CV5, CV7, CV11, etc) this will add to the pressure required for EV1 to drain its right side
pilot and open. For example, if the load-sense pressure for a spreader motor is 1000 PSI, this will be added to the
(200 PSI) spring bias pressure of RV1. Now EV1 cannot begin to open its path to tank until the pump pressure has
achieved something slightly higher than 1200 PSI. PGP would display 1200 PSI and L.S. port would display 1000
PSI. In this way the system will always attempt to sustain a differential or boost pressure of approximately 200 PSI.
FR1– Load sense drain orice. FR1 provides a controlled drain for the load-sense pilot line. Its function is to
ensure that the pressure cannot be trapped in this pilot and result in EV1 not being able to fully open at low
pressure when required.
Post Compensators (EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4) – The post compensators ensure that all functions will operate
simultaneously during low pump ow situations (when the circuit requires more oil than the pump can provide).
The pilots of the post compensators are directly tied to the LS pressure network. Each compensator will modulate
ow by restricting or allowing ow to pass to achieve a constant differential. This differential across all of the
compensators allows all of the functions to work with each other to prevent any one function from coming to a
complete stop.
RV2 – Clipper Relief – The purpose of this valve is to provide redundant pressure protection and clip any pressure
spikes that occur due to load shocks. Therefore, when a shock load occurs within the system, this relief will clip
any pressure beyond its set point.

EXPLANATION OF SPREADER CIRCUIT
HYDRAULIC
Proportional Valve (SP3) – Spinner ow control valve. SP3 is a proportional solenoid ow control valve.
In its un-energized state it provides a blocked path between the pump ow and the spinner work port. When it is
energized it provides an increasing orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric current to its solenoid coil.
Proportional Valve (SP2) – Auger/Conveyor ow control valve. SP2 is a proportional solenoid ow control valve. In its
non-energized state it provides a blocked path between the pump ow and the auger/conveyor work port. When it is
energized it provides an increasing orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric current to its solenoid coil.
Relief Valve (RV3) – Spreader Pressure Relief. RV3 limits the pressure of the spreader motor circuits. It is located in
the pilot load-sense line of the spreader work ports. It ultimately limits the pressure at the RV1 and therefore EV1 which
opens to dump pump ow to tank. RV3 is adjustable. Its pressure setting will be displayed at the LSGP if a spreader
motor load exceeds the relief setting or a blockage of a spreader work port occurs.
CV8 & CV9 – CV8 and CV9 are back-to-back check valves. Their purpose is to communicate the higher of the two
spreader motor pressures of the hoist circuit back to the RV1 boost pressure relief.
CP1 – Auger Reverse Cavity – This cavity can be populated with a solenoid actuated, 2 position / 2 way cartridge to
reverse the auger ow.

12
EXPLANATION OF PLOW CIRCUIT
HYDRAULIC
PE2 – Plow Angle Directional Control Valve – PE2 has a neutral position and two actuated positions. The actuated
positions alternately switch the tank and pressure lines connected to the cylinders to provide opposing angle directions.
This valve is known as a motor spool, therefore in its normal position it blocks the pump ow from passing. However, it
allows the pressure from the counterbalance valves to drain back to tank.
Plow Angle Pilot Controls – EH1 and EH2 – Pilot pressure control valves. EH1 and EH2 are solenoid operated pilot
valves. Their purpose is to provide hydraulic pilot shifting force to move the PE2 spool that in turn provide directional
control of the plow angle. When an EH valve is energized it completes a path from the pump to the end of the PE
directional control. Two EH valves are used for each PE valve. One actuates the PE to angle left and the other actuates
the PE spool to angle right. The EH valves use very little to no ow since they are pilot controls. When the EH valves
are not energized they drain any residual pressure from the actuation ends of the PE valves.
Plow Angle CounterbalanceValves – CB1 and CB2. The plow angle counterbalance valves provide several functions.
First, they provide crossover relief or cushion control for the plow angle cylinders. They prevent the circuit from being
damaged by shock loads. At 2750 PSI, they will relieve pressure and drain to tank. In addition, they are zero leakage
valves that prevent any sort of induced backpressure to unintentionally elevate the LS pressure network. These valves
are piloted open when the directional control shifts.
CV4 and CV5 – Check Valves – These valves allow the LS signal from the plow angle circuit to be relayed back to the
RV1. However, they prevent the LS signal from back feeding. They only allow oil to travel in one direction.
Plow Raise Flow Control (SP1) – SP1 is an electrically actuated proportional two position / two way valve. During its
non-energized state, it blocks pump ow from reaching the plow lift cylinder. When energized, it provides an increasing
orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric current to its solenoid coil. When this valve opens, it allows oil
to ow from the pump to the cap side of the cylinder.
Plow Lower Flow Control (SP6) – SP6 is an electrically actuated proportional two position / two way valve. During
its non-energized state, it blocks the oil from draining from the cap end of the cylinder back to tank. When energized, it
provides an increasing orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric current to its solenoid coil.

13
EXPLANATION OF PLOW DOWN CIRCUIT
HYDRAULIC
Plow Down Relief – The TS2 valve is a two position / three way proportional pressure valve. It serves multiple functions.
In its non-energized state, it provides a constant 100 PSI of down force on the rod side of the cylinder. When the plow
is raising, the oil from the rod side of the cylinder is drained back through this valve.
This valve is energized when lowering a DA cylinder. Its purpose is to provide an adjustable pressure to the rod-side of
the cylinder. The pressure setting of this valve is adjustable as a function of electrical current.
RV5 – Upside Pressure Relief – This is an adjustable relief valve that protects the cap side of the plow cylinder. This
is set at the factory at 2000 PSI. The valve will only open if the pressure at the cylinder reaches 2000 PSI.
CV1 – Load Holding Check – The purpose of CV1 is to hold the plow in the up position after oil has passed through the
SP1 cartridge. It will not allow oil to back feedback through the SP1.
CV3 & CV2 – CV3 and CV2 are back-to-back check valves. Their purpose is to communicate load sense pressures of
the plow circuit back to the RV1 boost pressure relief.
EXPLANATION OF PLOW DOWN CIRCUIT
SP4 – Hoist Raise Flow Control – SP4 is an electrically actuated proportional two position / two way valve. During its
non-energized state, it blocks pump ow from reaching the hoist cylinder. When energized, it provides an increasing
orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric current to its solenoid coil. Its function is to raise the hoist. When
this valve opens, it allows oil to ow from the pump to the cap side of the cylinder.
SP5 – Hoist Lower Flow Control – SP5 is an electrically actuated proportional two position / two way valve. Its
function is to lower the hoist. During its non-energized state, it blocks the oil from draining from the cap end of the
cylinder back to tank. When energized, it provides an increasing orice opening to ow as a result of increasing electric
current to its solenoid coil.
RV4 - Upside Hoist Pressure Relief – This is an adjustable relief valve that protects the cap side of the Hoist cylinder.
This is set at the factory at 2500 PSI. The only time it will allow oil to drain back to tank is if the pressure reaches
2500 PSI.

14
EXPLANATION OF HOIST DOWN CIRCUIT
HYDRAULIC
Hoist Down Relief – The TS1 valve is a two position / three way proportional pressure valve. It serves multiple
functions. In its non-energized state, it provides a constant 100 PSI of down force on the rod side of the hoist cylinder.
When the hoist is raising, the oil from the rod side of the cylinder is drained back through this valve.
This valve is energized when lowering a DA hoist cylinder. Its purpose is to provide an adjustable pressure / down
force to the rod-side of the cylinder. The pressure setting of this valve is adjustable as a function of electrical current
(Maximum setting = 1000 PSI).
CP2 – Provisional Cavity – This cavity can be used to populate another SP valve in order to achieve faster hoist lower
speeds.
CV7 and CV11 – CV7 and CV11 are back-to-back check valves. Their purpose is to communicate the higher of the two
hoist pressures back to the RV1 boost pressure relief.
CV6– Hoist Shuttle Cartridge – Load Holding Check – The purpose of this valve is to hold the hoist suspended in the
air after oil has passed through the SP4.
