circuit. Off course, when the steering is not used,
most of the flow rate is available for the secondary
circuit.
The priority line of the valve (41) powers the steering
rotating actuator (42) which is mechanically linked
to the steering wheel.
The scope of this actuator is to send a flow rate
to the steering cylinders which is proportional, in
addition to the actuator displacement, also to the
steering wheel rotational speed.
The actuator is also provided with a pressure relief
valve, which is adjusted to 190 bar, and two anti-
shock relief valves, which are adjusted to 260 bar.
The machine is provide with 3 distinct steering
modes (2 wheel, 4 wheels and crab steering) which
are implemented in the circuit by the 4 ways/3
positions electrical selector valve (43).
When the valve is not energized the 2 wheels
steering mode is selected, when one solenoid of
the valve is energized the 4 wheels is selected
and when the other solenoid is energized the crab
steering model is selected.
The secondary line of the valve (41) is linked to the
telescopic boom, turret and undercarriage main
valve (44).
This valve is a pressure compensated, modular,
flow sharing type valve controlling the boom and
attachments functions, the slewing turret and the
stabilizers operations. It mainly consists of one
inlet manifold, containing the main 3 ways pressure
compensator, the maximum pressure relief valve,
adjusted to 280 bar, the pressure reducing valve
feeding the spools actuators and the 2 enabling
function electrical valves, of 5 modules having
electro-proportional controls and of one module
having electrical on/off type control.
The first section of the valve, pressure compensated,
controls the boom up/down functions and is linked
to the telescopic boom lift cylinder (45) through the
single over-center safety valve (46).
The hydraulic accumulator (47), having a capacity
of 0.5 liters and a nitrogen pre-charge pressure of
35 bar, is installed on the boom down hydraulic line
to prevent any oscillation of the boom during the
boom-down movement.
The second section of the valve, not pressure
compensated, controls the forks tilt up/down
functions and is linked to the forks tilt cylinder (48)
through the double over-center safety valve (49).
On the same line of the forks tilt cylinder (48)
is installed, in parallel, the forks self-leveling
articulation slave cylinder (50) provided with a
double over-center safety valve (51).
This cylinder, which is linked to the boom and to
the turret, works as a pump and maintain leveled
the forks articulation when the boom is moved up
and down.
The output lines of the valve second section are
protected by 2 pressure relief valves, adjusted to
320 bar.
The third section of the valve, pressure
compensated, controls the boom telescoping in/out
functions and is linked to the second section boom
telescopic cylinder (52) through the double over-
center safety valve (53).
On the GTH-4016 SR only, the second section
boom telescopic cylinder (52) is linked to the third
section boom telescopic cylinder (70), provided
with a single over-center safety valve (71).
The fourth section of the valve, not pressure
compensated, controls the attachment quick
coupling device (optional) and is used to power
optional attachments requiring an hydraulic flow to
work.
This section is linked to the forks attachment quick
coupling cylinder (56) through the double piloted
safety valve (57) and the quick coupling hydraulic
ports (58).
The fifth section of the valve, pressure compensated,
controls the turret slewing functions and is linked to
the turret rotation hydraulic motor (54) through the
special double over-center safety valve (55).
The hydraulic motor is installed on a planetary type
gear, for the turret slewing, provided by an internal
negative type brake which is capable to maintain
the turret locked when no pressure is applied to the
hydraulic motor.
The sixth section of the valve, provided by an
electrical on/off type control, drives the stabilizers
through the stabilizers electrical selector valves
