TM 5-3805-261-20PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION.1-29.HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.d.LockCheckValve(Figure 1-48). There is a lock check valve between the control valve and the hydrauliccylinder (of motor) in each of the hydraulic systems. The purpose of each lock check valve is the same, but severaldesigns are used because of the different systems requirements. Lock check valves prevent hydraulic cylinder rods fromdrifting when the controls are in HOLD (neutral) position by locking the hydraulic pressure in against ball check valves.Outlet chokes in lock check valves serve to slow down the hydraulic flow when needed. Relief valves serve to preventoverloading the system.The circle drive and leaning wheel systems use lock check valves without chokes or relief valves.The centershift, articulation, and right hand lift systems use lock check valves with chokes and without relief valves.The left hand lift system and the scarifier system use lock check valves with chokes and a relief valve.The tip and sideshift systems use lock check valves with relief valves but without chokes.When the control valve is in HOLD position, the oil in lines is stopped and the rod in the cylinder cannot move. Thesprings against balls, and the oil in lines, keep the balls on seats. The oil in lines is at tank pressure.Figure 1-48.1-45
