Pilot Circuits
Oil for the pilot circuits flows from the steering pump section. The oil flows from the
pump to a pressure reducing valve. Then the oil flows into an accumulator and on to the
pilot control valves. The return oil passes through a filter with a replacement element.
The hydraulic control lockout lever is used to lock the control levers in their neutral or

The hydraulic pump group is made up of three sections. Steering system section (1) is a
load sensing axial piston type pump. The steering section provides the oil needed to
operate the steering hydraulic system. The steering section also is the source for pilot
system oil. Oil from the steering section flows to a pressure reducing valve.
NOTE: For more information on the steering system pump section of pump group (17),

Specifications and SENR6728, 924F Wheel Loader and IT24F Integrated Toolcarrier,
Steering System System Operation, Testing And Adjusting.
Brake system section (4) is a cartridge vane-type pump. The brake section provides the
oil needed to operate the service and parking brake circuits.
NOTE: For more information on the brake system pump section of pump group (17),

Specifications and SENR6730, 924F Wheel Loader and IT24F Integrated Toolcarrier,
Brake System System Operation, Testing And Adjusting.
Attachment system section (2) is a cartridge vane-type pump. The attachment section
provides the oil needed to operate the bucket/attachment and any attachments in the
attachment hydraulic system.
All three pump sections rotate on a common shaft. The steering and attachment sections
draw oil from the hydraulic tank through an inlet on the opposite side of steering section
pressure outlet (5). Each section has its own outlet.
Brake section (4) has its own inlet and outlet.
Both ends of the vanes are connected by passages (7) in the rotor. The oil found in these
passages keeps the pressure even on both ends of the vanes and permits the oil behind
the vanes to escape as the vanes are pushed back in.
Pilot Circuits
Tilt Pilot Control Valve
With the engine running, oil flows from the steering section of the hydraulic oil pump to
port (30) of the pressure reducing valve. The oil acts against reducing valve (26) then
flows in three directions.
Part of the oil flows out port (28) and on to the accumulator. Check valve (27) prevents
oil stored in the accumulator from flowing back to the pump or hydraulic tank in the
event of pump or engine failure.
Part of the oil flows out port (25) and returns to the hydraulic tank.
The rest of the oil flows out port (24) and on to the hydraulic lockout valve in the pilot
control valve group. When the hydraulic lockout lever is in the up position, the oil is
blocked at the lockout valve. When the lever is in the down position, the oil flows
through the lockout valve and on to the pilot control valves.
NOTE: The pilot control valves for the 924F and IT24F are all similar and operate in
the same manner. The optional auxiliary control valve on the 924F and the coupler
control valve on the IT24F do not have kickout coils. The lift control valves for both
machines have two kickout coils. Only the tilt control valve will be discussed here.
When the valve is in the HOLD position, centering springs (7), (8), (13) and (14) keep
pivot plate (1) in its centered position, as shown. Pump oil flows from the hydraulic
lockout valve through port (21) to metering stems (17) and (18). In this position the
metering stems block the flow of oil to the main control valve and causes it to flow
through port (20). Then the oil flows back to the hydraulic tank.
When the control lever is moved to the DUMP position, pivot plate (1) causes upper
plunger (3) to move down. As plunger (3) moves down, the force on retainer (6)
overcomes spring (8) allowing plunger (3) to contact plunger (10).
Plunger (3) causes plunger (10) to also move down. As plunger (10) moves down, it
forces retainer (12) to overcome spring (14). As plunger (10) moves down it causes
metering spring (16) and metering stem (18) to move down.
When the metering stem moves down, slots in the metering stem allow pilot oil to flow
from port (21) out port (22) to the main control valve.
Centering springs (7) and (13) and metering spring (15) force metering stem (17), lower
plunger (9) and upper plunger (2) to move up.
When the control lever is moved to the TILT BACK position, pivot plate (1) causes
upper plunger (2) to move down. As plunger (2) moves down the force on retainer (5)
overcomes spring (7) allowing plunger (2) to contact plunger (9).
Plunger (2) causes plunger (9) to also move down. As plunger (9) moves down, it forces
retainer (11) to overcome spring (13). As plunger (9) moves down, it causes metering
spring (15) and metering stem (17) to move down.
When the metering stem moves down, slots in the metering stem allow pilot oil to flow
from port (21) out port (19) to the main control valve.
Coil assembly (4) is activated by the bucket positioner. The bucket positioner cause
pivot plate (1) to move from the TILT BACK position to the HOLD position.
NOTE: See the subject Bucket Positioner for additional information on the operation of
the bucket positioner.
Centering springs (8) and (14) and metering spring (16) force metering stem (18), lower
plunger (10) and upper plunger (3) to move up.
The pilot system uses low pressure oil to operate the main control valves. The main
components of the pilot system are pump group (17), pressure reducing valve (14),
accumulator (15), lockout valve (24) and pilot valves (25), (26) and (27).
With the engine running, oil flows from hydraulic tank (23) to the steering section of
pump (17). The oil flows from the pump through pressure reducing valve (14) to
hydraulic lockout valve (24). The pressure reducing valve maintains pilot system
pressure at 3100 140 kPa (450 20 psi).
NOTE: For more information on the steering system pump section of pump group (17),
see SENR6727, 924F Wheel Loader and IT24F Integrated Toolcarrier, Steering System
Specifications and SENR6728, 924F Wheel Loader and IT24F Integrated Toolcarrier,
Steering System System Operation, Testing And Adjusting.
From the hydraulic lockout valve the oil flows into the pilot control valves. Tilt control
pilot valve (26) is a closed center valve that has three positions, TILT BACK, HOLD
and DUMP. The oil can not flow through the valve when it is in the HOLD position
because it is a closed center valve.
Oil lines connect the output of the tilt control pilot valve to the pilot inlets on tilt main
control valve (20).
When the control lever on the tilt control pilot valve is moved to the DUMP position, oil
flows through oil lines to the ends of the tilt main control valve. This causes the main
control valve spool to move. Movement of the spool opens passages for implement
pressure oil to flow to the rod end of the tilt cylinder.
Spool movement also opens a passage for return oil from the head end of the tilt
cylinder to flow back to hydraulic tank (23). Implement pressure oil acts on the rod end
of the tilt cylinder and, because the head end of the cylinder is now vented to tank, the
bucket will dump.
When the control lever on the tilt control pilot valve is moved to the TILT BACK
position, oil flows through oil lines to the ends of the tilt main control valve. This causes
the main control valve spool to move in the opposite direction.
Movement of the spool in this direction opens passages for pressure oil to flow to the
head end of the tilt cylinder. Spool movement also opens a passage for return oil from
the rod end of the tilt cylinder to flow back to the hydraulic tank. Implement pressure oil
acts on the head end of the tilt cylinder and because the rod end of the cylinder is now
vented to tank, the bucket will tilt back.
Control valves (19), (20) and (21) control the auxiliary, lift and tilt operations of the
bucket. They are all pilot operated and each valve controls the flow of oil from the
attachment section of pump group (17).
The tilt control lever is attached to tilt pilot control valve (26). When the lever is moved
it causes the tilt main control valve to route oil from the attachment pump section of
pump group (17) to the rod end or the head end of tilt cylinder (2).
The lift control lever is attached to lift pilot control valve (27). When the lever is moved
it causes the lift main control valve to route oil from the attachment pump section to the
head ends or the rod ends of lift cylinders (3).
The optional auxiliary control lever is attached to auxiliary pilot control valve (26).
When the lever is moved it causes the auxiliary main control valve to route oil from the
attachment pump section of pump group (17) to the rod ends or the head ends of
optional attachment cylinders (1).
Relief valves (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) maintain attachment system pressure and reduce
the possibility of damage to the circuit components when the control valves are
actuated. The tilt circuit control valve relief valves (both head end and rod end)
maintain the circuit pressure when the tilt control valve is in the HOLD position.
The main relief valve is located in the inlet section of the main control valve. The
pressure setting for the 924F main relief valve is 24 800 700 kPa (3600 100 psi).
The relief valve is a pilot type valve. Pressure oil flows into passage (1) and into the
spring chamber. The oil acts against the left side of pilot valve (5) which is held closed
by the force of spring (8).
Pump oil in the spring chamber combines with the force of spring (4) and holds valve
(3) closed.
When an outside force causes pressure in any of the cylinders to rise, that increase in
pressure is also felt in passage (1). As the pressure rises above valve setting the oil
overcomes the force of spring (8) and causes pilot valve (5) to move to the right.
The oil in spring (4) chamber flows through the open pilot valve and through passage
(2) back to the hydraulic tank. The oil flows back to the tank faster than the oil can flow
through passage (1) so the force of the oil against valve (3) increases.
The pressure of the oil acting on the left side of valve (3) is now greater than the force
of spring (4) and the valve moves to the right. Oil flows around valve (3), through outlet
(2) and returns to the hydraulic tank.
The pressure in the cylinders can not increase any more. When oil pressure returns to
below relief valve setting, springs (4) and (8) move valves (3) and (5) back to the left
onto their seats.
Pressure is adjusted by removing a cap, loosening inner locknut (6) and turning
adjusting screw (7) clockwise to increase pressure setting and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure setting.
The relief valve is also a makeup valve. When the pressure of the pump oil in the
cylinders is less than the pressure of the return oil from the cylinders, the pressure of oil
through passage (1) into spring (4) chamber is also less. When the pressure of the return
oil has more force on the left side of valve (3) than spring (4) has on the right side, the
valve will open. Then the oil flows through valve (3) into pump oil. The pressure of the
pump oil and return oil is now the same.

Control valves (21), (22) and (23) control the coupler, lift and tilt operations of the
attachment. They are all pilot operated and each valve controls the flow of oil from the
attachment section of pump group (19).
The tilt control lever is attached to tilt pilot control valve (22). When the lever is moved
it causes the tilt main control valve to route oil from the attachment pump section of
pump group (19) to the rod ends or the head ends of tilt cylinders (2).
If the machine is equipped with the optional fourth function circuit, diverter valve group
(3) is installed in the tilt lines. When switch (24) in the operator station is pushed, the
solenoid valve in the diverter valve group is activated. When the spool in the solenoid
valve shifts, it blocks oil flow to the tilt cylinders and routes it to the attachment.
NOTE: For more information on the fourth function switch, see SEBU6833, IT24F
Integrated Toolcarrier, Operation & Maintenance Manual.
The lift control lever is attached to lift pilot control valve (29). When the lever is moved
it causes the lift main control valve to route oil from the attachment pump section to the
head ends or the rod ends of lift cylinders (4).
The coupler control lever is attached to coupler pilot control valve (27). When the lever
is moved it causes the coupler main control valve to route oil from the attachment pump
section of pump group (19) to the rod ends or the head ends of coupler cylinder (1).
Relief valves (9), (10), (11), (12) and (13) maintain attachment system pressure and
reduce the possibility of damage to the circuit components when the control valves are
actuated. The tilt circuit control valve relief valves (both head end and rod end)
maintain the circuit pressure when the tilt control valve is in the HOLD position.
The main relief valve is located in the inlet section of the main control valve. The
pressure setting for the IT24F main relief valve is 17 300 300 kPa (2510 45 psi).
The relief valve is a pilot type valve. Pressure oil flows into passage (1) and into the
spring chamber. The oil acts against the left side of pilot valve (5) which is held closed
by the force of spring (8).
Pump oil in the spring chamber combines with the force of spring (4) and holds valve
(3) closed.
When an outside force causes pressure in any of the cylinders to rise, that increase in
pressure is also felt in passage (1). As the pressure rises above valve setting the oil
overcomes the force of spring (8) and causes pilot valve (5) to move to the right.
The oil in spring (4) chamber flows through the open pilot valve and through passage
(2) back to the hydraulic tank. The oil flows back to the tank faster than the oil can flow
through passage (1) so the force of the oil against valve (3) increases.
The pressure of the oil acting on the left side of valve (3) is now greater than the force
of spring (4) and the valve moves to the right. Oil flows around valve (3), through outlet
(2) and returns to the hydraulic tank.
The pressure in the cylinders can not increase any more. When oil pressure returns to
below relief valve setting, springs (4) and (8) move valves (3) and (5) back to the left
onto their seats.
Pressure is adjusted by removing a cap, loosening inner locknut (6) and turning
adjusting screw (7) clockwise to increase pressure setting and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure setting.
The relief valve is also a makeup valve. When the pressure of the pump oil in the
cylinders is less than the pressure of the return oil from the cylinders, the pressure of oil
through passage (1) into spring (4) chamber is also less. When the pressure of the return
oil has more force on the left side of valve (3) than spring (4) has on the right side, the
valve will open. Then the oil flows through valve (3) into pump oil. The pressure of the
pump oil and return oil is now the same.
The auxiliary/coupler control valves are similar and operate the same way. Each valve is
a three position valve, HOLD, OPEN and CLOSED. The IT24F has a rotary shutoff
valve installed in the coupler lines that is manually activated. When the rotary shutoff
valve is in the off position, the coupler control valve causes the coupler cylinder to
extend or retract. When the rotary shutoff valve is in the on position, the coupler control
valve controls operation of an attachment, such as a broom.
The auxiliary/coupler control valve is one of three separate control valves in the main
control valve group. One controls the auxiliary/coupler cylinders, one the tilt cylinder
and the other controls the lift cylinders. They are assembled with the auxiliary/coupler
control valve on the side with the pump inlet.
In the 924F machine this arrangement gives a priority series connection for the flow of
auxiliary pressure oil. This means that when the auxiliary valve is activated there is no
flow of oil to either the tilt or lift valves. Also when the tilt valve is activated there is no
flow of oil to the lift valve.
In the IT24F machine this arrangement is a parallel/series connection for the flow of
coupler pressure oil. This means that when the coupler valve is activated there is still
some flow of oil to either the tilt or lift valves. However, when the tilt valve is activated
there is no flow of oil to the lift valve.
With the engine running, oil flows from the pump and enters pump port (5). Then the oil
flows to the auxiliary/coupler valve. If the auxiliary/coupler valve is in the HOLD
position the oil flows through port (5) and around spool (3).
The oil flows through passages and on to the tilt valve. If the tilt and lift valves are also
in the HOLD positions the oil flows through the tilt valve into the lift valve. Then the oil
flows through the lift valve out port (11) and returns to the hydraulic tank. There is a
common passage through the valve sections to the tank.
In the HOLD position no pilot oil is flowing into either port (2) or port (9). With no
pilot oil acting against valve spool (3) the spool blocks the flow of oil in ports (1) and
(7). With the oil in the circuits to the auxiliary/coupler cylinders stopped, the cylinders
can not move until the control lever and valve spool (3) are moved to either the
CLOSED or OPEN position.
Spring (8) on the end of valve spool (3) is compressed when pilot oil acts against the
spool and it is moved to either the CLOSED or OPEN position. When the pilot control
lever is placed in the HOLD position and pilot oil flow stops, spring (8) will return the
valve spool to the HOLD position.
Relief Valves
There are relief valves mounted in the control valve in ports (1) and (7). The valves in
each port are the same. If line pressure rises above 22 100 kPa (3210 psi) on 924F
machines, or 19 300 kPa (2800 psi) on IT24F machines, the relief valve lifts and sends
oil through either port (4) or (10) back to tank.
Spring (9) on the end of valve spool (3) is compressed when pilot oil acts against the
spool and it is moved to either the TILT BACK or DUMP position. When the pilot
control lever is placed in the HOLD position and pilot oil flow stops, spring (8) will
return the valve spool to the HOLD position.
when pilot oil acts against the spool and it is moved to the TILT BACK position. When
the pilot control lever is placed in the HOLD position and pilot oil flow stops, spring
(10) will return the valve spool to the HOLD position.
Makeup Valve
A makeup valve is located in passage (9) to the rod ends of the lift cylinders. The
makeup valve functions when the control valve spool is in either the FLOAT or
LOWER position.
A spring combines with oil pressure to hold the makeup valve closed. The makeup
valve opens only when the rod ends of the lift cylinders require more pump oil flow
than the pump can supply oil to the cylinders. This prevents cavitation in the lift
cylinders.
When the flow of oil to the rod ends of the cylinders is not enough, the pressure of the
oil in passage (9) is low. The higher return oil pressure in the passage to the tank opens
the valve and allows more oil to flow to the rod ends of the cylinders.
Kickout Systems
Lift Kickout
The lift kickout group consists of solid state switch (2) (located on right side of the
loader frame), magnet assembly (3) (located on lift arm pivot) and electromagnet (4)
detent (part of the lift pilot control valve). Solid state switch (2) is normally closed and
only opens when magnet assembly (3) makes contact.
When the operator moves the lift pilot control lever to the RAISE position, plate (6)
contacts energized electromagnet (4). The electromagnet will hold the plate which keeps
the lift pilot control lever in RAISE position.
As the bucket/attachment lifts, magnet assembly (3) on the lift arm pivot moves in the
direction of normally closed solid state switch (2) on the loader frame. When the
magnet assembly gets near the switch, it opens the switch. This stops the flow of current
flow to the electromagnet and breaks the electric circuit.
With no current flow, electromagnet (4) no longer is able to hold plate (6). Spring (7)
moves the valve spool (8) and the pilot control lever to the HOLD position.
The lift arms stop just before the lift cylinder rods are fully extended. The lift arms will
stay at this position until the operator places the lift control lever in the LOWER
position.
When the operator moves the lift control lever to the LOWER position the lift arms will
lower. As magnet assembly (3) moves away from solid state switch (2), the switch will
return to its normally closed position.

The bucket positioner group consists of positioner control group (2), located under tilt
cylinder (3), tube assembly (3) and electromagnet (4) (part of tilt pilot control valve).
When the operator moves the tilt pilot control lever to the TILT BACK position,
electromagnet (4) is energized. The electromagnet holds plate (5) and causes tilt control
valve spool (7) to stay in TILT BACK position.
As the bucket tilts back, tube assembly (3) moves in the direction of the normally closed
solid state control group (2) located under tilt cylinder (3). When the tube assembly gets
near the control group, it opens a switch. This stops the flow of current flow to the
electromagnet and breaks the electric circuit.
With no current flow, electromagnet (4) is no longer is able to hold plate (5). Spring (6)
moves the pilot valve spool and the control lever back to the HOLD position.
The bucket stops at the correct angle to operate. The bucket will stay in this position
until the operator places the control lever in the DUMP position.

Loader, Operation & Maintenance Manual.
Control Panel
(9) Control switch.
The bucket positioner group consists of positioner switch holder assembly (2) (located
on the right side tilt cylinder), solid state switches (1) and (3) (mounted in switch holder
assembly), magnet assembly (4) (located on the right side tilt cylinder rod end),
electromagnet (5) (part of tilt pilot control valve) and control switch (9) (located in the
operator compartment).
Solid state switch (1) is for attachment operation and switch (3) is for bucket/attachment
operation. Control switch (9), located in a panel in the operator compartment, will allow
the use of either the bucket or attachment positioner switch for operation. This will
permit the operator to change attachments without readjusting the position of the
switches in the control group.
When the operator places control switch (9) in the bucket position and moves the tilt
control lever to the TILT BACK position, plate (6) contacts energized electromagnet
(5). The electromagnet will hold the lift pilot control lever in TILT BACK position.
As the bucket tilts back, magnet assembly (4) on the right side tilt cylinder rod end
moves in the direction of normally closed solid state switch (3). When the magnet
assembly gets near the switch, it opens the switch. This stops the flow of current flow to
the electromagnet and breaks the electric circuit.
With no current flow, electromagnet (5) no longer is able to hold plate (6). Spring (7)
moves pilot control valve spool (8) and the pilot control lever back to the HOLD
position.
The bucket stops at the correct angle to operate. The bucket will stay in this position
until the operator places the control lever in the DUMP position.
When the operator places control switch (9) in the attachment position and moves the
tilt control lever to the TILT BACK position, plate (6) contacts energized electromagnet
(5). The electromagnet will hold the lift pilot control lever in TILT BACK position.
As the attachment tilts back, magnet assembly (4) on the right side tilt cylinder rod end
moves in the direction of normally closed solid state switch (1). When the magnet
assembly gets near the switch, it opens the switch. This stops the flow of current flow to
the electromagnet and breaks the electric circuit.
With no current flow, electromagnet (5) no longer is able to hold plate (6). Spring (7)
moves pilot control valve spool (8) and the pilot control lever back to the HOLD
position.
The attachment stops at the correct angle to operate. The attachment will stay in this
position until the operator places the control lever in the DUMP position.

The optional ride control system provides a means for absorbing and dampening the
bucket/attachment forces which produce the pitching motion as the machine travels on
rough terrain. The main components of the ride control system are lift cylinders (1),
solenoid valve (2) and accumulator (3).
Solenoid valve (2), accumulator (3) and return line (7) on located on the front frame of
the loader just ahead of the articulation joint.
Control switch (8) is mounted in the control panel in the operator's station.
Solenoid valve (2) is a normally closed valve. When the lift control valve is in the
HOLD position and the switch in the operator panel is in the OFF position, the solenoid
valve coil is not energized. A spring in valve holds the spool inside the valve in the up
position. In this position oil that flows from the head ends of lift cylinders (1) can also
flow through an orifice inside the solenoid valve to accumulator (3).
Rod end oil is blocked at the solenoid valve and flows back to hydraulic tank (6)
through lift control valve (5). When the lift control valve is in the HOLD position and
the switch in the operator panel is pushed to the ON position, the solenoid coil is
energized. When the coil is energized it causes the spool inside the valve to overcome
spring tension and move down. When the spool moves down it opens a path for both
head and rod end oil to flow through the solenoid valve.
As the machine moves across a rough terrain with a loaded bucket/attachment, the
forces of the load act against the lift cylinders. When the load acts against the head end
of the cylinders, that oil tries to flow into the accumulator.
The accumulator has a nitrogen precharged bladder that resists the oil flow and acts as a
shock absorber. Rod end make up oil can flow through the solenoid valve and line (7).
