Travel Control
Final drive
(53) Track
(54) Sprocket(55) Final drive
The output flow from the idler pump flows through the swivel to the right travel motor. The
output flow from the drive pump flows through the swivel to the left travel motor. The pump
delivery flow causes rotation of the travel motors. The torque of the travel motors is transmitted
to the final drives. The rotational speed of the travel motors is reduced by gear reduction in the
final drive. Final drive (55) increases the torque and the rotational force drives track (53) via
sprocket (54).
Keypad (right console)(56) Travel speed control switch
The travel speed can be adjusted by the slight operation of the travel levers/pedals. The travel
speed can also be controlled by travel speed control switch (56). This changes the travel speed
when the travel levers/pedals are moved to the maximum position. The travel speed control
switch can be set at the LOW SPEED position or the HIGH SPEED position. When the travel
speed control switch is set at the LOW SPEED position, the tortoise appears on the default
message display of the monitor. When the travel speed control switch is set at the HIGH SPEED
position, the rabbit appears on the default message display of the monitor. During travel on a flat
surface or during gradual downhill travel, the travel speed is set at the HIGH SPEED position in
order to realize increased mobility.
When travel speed control switch (56) is set at the HIGH SPEED position, the pressure sensors
for pump delivery pressure detect the change in pump load. If the pressure sensors detect a high
load, the travel speed is automatically adjusted to LOW SPEED. If the pressure sensors detect a
small load, the travel speed is automatically adjusted to HIGH SPEED.

(61) Cab(62) Reverse travel
The direction of travel is relative to the position of the lower structure. For normal travel, idler
(59) is positioned in front of cab (61) and travel motors (1) and (15) to the rear of the cab. With
the machine in the normal position of travel, move the travel levers/pedals (58) and (60) forward.
The machine will travel in forward direction (57). This movement is called forward travel. When
the travel levers/pedals (58) and (60) are moved toward the operator, the machine travels in
reverse direction (62). This direction is called reverse travel.
When cab (61) is rotated by 180 degrees, travel motors (1) and (15) are positioned in front of the
cab. The direction of travel and the operation of the travel levers/pedals (58) and (60) are
reversed from the normal travel direction.
When the machine is in the normal position of travel and when one of the travel levers/pedals
(58) or (60) is moved forward, the respective track travels forward. The machine turns because
the stationary track acts as the pivot point. This is called a pivot turn.
This machine will spot turn in order to change the travel direction of the machine in a narrow
space. To complete a spot turn operation, move one travel lever/pedal to the rear and move the
other travel lever/pedal forward at the same time. One track will travel to the rear and the other
track will travel forward. The machine will spot turn around the center axis of the machine.

When travel speed control switch (56) is set at the LOW SPEED position, an electrical signal is
sent to engine and pump controller (C). The engine and pump controller does not energize travel
speed solenoid valve (48) and pilot system oil pressure does not flow through pilot line (27) to
displacement change valve (12). The spool in the displacement change valve does not shift. As a
result, swashplate (2) is at the maximum displacement position. One rotation of motor rotary
group (3) displaces a larger amount of oil flow. The rotational speed of the left travel motor
decreases. The left track moves slowly and better traction is achieved.
The return oil from motor rotary group (3) flows through passage (11), counterbalance valve (8),
line (28) and swivel (30). The return oil then flows through line (34), passage (36), left travel
control valve (38), return passage (37) and return line (45) to the hydraulic tank.
Right travel motor (15) receives the oil delivery from the idler pump. The right travel motor
functions in the same manner as the left travel motor in the LOW SPEED position.
