Main Hydraulic System
Description and Operation
The main hydraulic system consists of the hydraulic
sump tank, main hydraulic pump, hydraulic oil filter, main
control valve, steering priority demand valve and
associated hydraulic lines and hoses.
The hydraulic sump is a separate, removable tank
installed in the right-hand side compartment of the truck
frame. It has a large opening at the top with a removable
cover which includes the fill filter return tube/ breather, oil
level dipstick, and oil line. The cover is held on with a V-
band clamp for positive sealing and ease of servicing.
The sump breather is a standard Clark part. From the
sump tank, oil is fed by the main gear-type pump through
the steering priority demand valve to the main control
valve. The priority demand (flow control) valve diverts
the necessary flow to the steering system. From the
main control valve oil is directed to either the lift cylinders
or the tilt cylinders. Oil returns to the sump tank through
the full-flow return line filter. The spin-on, throwaway
hydraulic oil filter fits on a threaded adapter base
mounted near the sump tank cover. The main hydraulic
pump is mounted to an SAE pad on the transmission
driven by either a silent chain or direct gear drive train
from the engine.
