35 ft and 40 ft there are two.
Equipped with an inlet strainer for filtering oil when added. A filter is built into
the tank for filtering oil returning from the hydraulic system. A sensor is also
in the tank to monitor the oil temperature.
2.
HYDRAULIC PUMP. A gear type, driven by the engine. Supplies oil to
the control valve for distribution to the hydraulic system.
3.
FILTER. Protects the system in the event of a pump failure. It is a
replaceable screen type.
4.
CONTROL VALVE. Directs high pressure oil to hydraulic
cylinders, depending on the position of one of the five control
handles. The five control valves activate the mast up and down,
tilt forward and back, slide shift left and right, slide tilt, and the
container locks. All valves contain an oil pressure relief valve to
return extra oil pressure back to the hydraulic tank when the
mast is fully tilted, fully raised, fully shifted or fully rotated.
