Main Control Valve

The main control valve is mounted on the frame in the
engine compartment.

The main control valve assembly (1) consists of seven
working sections with their own valve assemblies, each
providing a specific hydraulic function. The section
assemblies from left to right are the outrigger (left),
outrigger (right), frame sway, auxiliary, tilt, crowd (boom
in/out), and lift sections.

All the main control valve functions are electronically
controlled through the joystick.
