Joystick Circuit
Joystick hydraulic circuit (Fig. 9– 43) commands are 
achieved through electric and hydraulic signals via a set 
of cartridge-type, solenoid-operated control valves 
mounted in an array at the pilot select manifold
(Fig. 9– 42).
The cartridge valves shift to allow hydraulic oil to flow to 
the proper circuit as commanded by joystick position. 
Hydraulic oil flows from the joystick valve to the pilot 
select manifold (Fig. 9– 41), then to the appropriate
working section of the main control valve.
The valve plate assembly is provided in either standard 
(Fig. 9– 44) or optional auxiliary hydraulics (Fig. 9– 45) 
configurations. The valve plate assembly includes the 
pilot select manifold and the main control valve.
