Hydraulic System
8.12.5 Shuttle Valve
The shuttle valve (Fig. 8-55, 1) is attached to the brake
valve (2) with a tee fitting (3). The shuttle valve joins the
the brake valve load-sense line (4), the shuttle-in line
from the main control valve (5) and the steering valve
shuttle-in line (6). The shuttle valve contains a pressure-
dependent two-way check and is a non-serviceable item.
It must be replaced in its entirety if defective.
Figure 8-55 Shuttle Valve Location
a. Shuttle Valve Removal
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface, fully retract
all hydraulic cylinders, ground the attachment (if
any), place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL,
place the neutral lock lever in the (N) NEUTRAL
LOCK position, engage the park brake switch and
shut the engine OFF.
2. Place an Accident Prevention Tag on both the
ignition key switch and the steering wheel, stating
that the vehicle should not be operated. Refer to
Section 1.5, “Accident Prevention Tag Usage.”
3. Unlock and open the rear door. Allow the hydraulic
fluid to cool.
4. To remove the shuttle valve (Fig. 8-55, 1), remove
the left front dash panel on the front dash. Refer to
Section 4.5, “Cab Removal,” for information on
removing the dash panel.
5. Disconnect, label and cap all hydraulic fittings and
hoses during removal from the shuttle valve
(Fig. 8 -55, 1). Disconnect the brake valve load-
sense line (4) and pull the shuttle valve assembly
forward. Disconnect the main control line (5) and the
steering valve line (6). Wipe up any hydraulic fluid
spillage.
b. Shuttle Valve Cleaning, Inspection and
Reassembly
1. Clean the shuttle valve with a suitable cleaner before
inspection.
2. Inspect internal passageways and the shuttle valve
overall for wear, damage, etc. If inner surfaces of the
component DO NOT display an ultra-smooth,
polished finish, or are damaged in any way, replace
the shuttle valve. Often, dirty hydraulic fluid causes
failure of internal seals and damage to the polished
surfaces within the shuttle valve.
3. Replace a defective shuttle valve with a new part.
