Five Functions of the SH200-3 Pilot Valve:
- Controls Hydraulic Signal Flow:
The pilot valve directs low-pressure hydraulic signals to the main control valve, enabling precise movement of the excavator’s attachments. - Enables Smooth Operator Control:
It translates joystick or lever inputs into hydraulic actions, giving the operator responsive and accurate control over the boom, arm, bucket, and swing. - Reduces Operator Fatigue:
By using low pressure to control high-pressure systems, the pilot valve minimizes the physical effort required to operate the machine. - Protects Main Hydraulic Components:
The pilot valve helps manage system pressure and flow, reducing wear and preventing damage to critical components like the main control valve and pumps. - Improves Machine Efficiency and Safety:
Accurate control of hydraulic functions leads to smoother operations, improved productivity, and safer machine handling on the job site.
