Frame Sway Circuit Description
Hydraulic flow is applied in the frame sway circuit (see 
page 8.90 or page 8.92, and page 8.94 or page 8.96) by 
the secondary section of the hydraulic gear pump to the 
“Inlet” Port on the Main Control Valve. The primary 
section of the pump provides hydraulic flow to the “P” Port 
on the Accumulator Charge/Secondary Function Valve 
out the “EF” Port to the “Inlet” Port at the Main Control 
Valve. System pressure is directed to either side of the 
frame sway cylinder by the shifting of the spool in the 
Main Control Valve. The spool is shifted by pilot pressure 
from the Accumulator Charge/Secondary Function Valve 
Out the “PIL” Port, to the “P” Port of the Frame Sway 
Joystick. Pressure is regulated by the position of the 
joystick.
A secondary function of this circuit is to maintain oil 
pressure in the Stabilizer Cylinder as the Frame Sway 
function is used and/or when the vehicle moves along 
uneven Terrain. System pressure from the “P Gauge” 
Port on the Main Control Valve enters the “P” Port on the 
Stabilizer Cylinder Block and passes a Pressure Relief 
Valve. From here the oil will fill the Rod End or Base End 
of the Stabilizer Cylinder depending on which end 
requires the oil. This is regulated by the position of the 
Rear Axle and the amount of oil pressure in the circuit. Oil 
Pressure of 100 PSI (6,89 bar) is maintained in the circuit 
by the Pressure Relief Valve which will dump excess 
pressure out the “T” Port of the Stabilizer Cylinder Block 
and send it to the Hydraulic Reservoir unfiltered.
a. Frame Sway LEFT (See page 8.90 or page 8.92)
With the Joystick moved to the LEFT, pilot 
pressure from Port “1,” (SN 18460 and Before) 
or Port “2” (SN 18461 and After), shifts the 
spool in the Frame Sway section of the Main 
Control Valve. System pressure from the Pump is 
directed to the Main Control Valve then to the Frame 
Sway Cylinder “FTB” Port. Oil passes through a 0.048" 
Orifice at the Frame Sway Cylinder base end.
Return oil flows from the rod end of the cylinder through 
a 0.041" Orifice and Check Valve to the Stabilizer 
Cylinder “FTR” Port. Oil passes through a Solenoid Valve 
in the Stabilizer Cylinder Block Port “V” and returned to 
the Main Control Valve out the “Outlet” Port, then through 
the Oil Cooler, to the Return Filter and then to the 
Hydraulic Reservoir.
b. Frame Sway RIGHT (See page 8.94 or page 8.96)
With the Joystick moved to the RIGHT, pilot 
pressure from Port “1”, (SN 18460 and Before) 
or Port “2” (SN 18461 and After), shifts the 
spool in the Frame Sway section of the Main 
Control Valve. System pressure from the Pump is 
directed to the Main Control Valve then to the Stabilizer 
Cylinder “V” Port. Oil passes through Solenoid Valve and 
Stabilizer Cylinder base end before exiting through the 
“FTR” Port.
Return oil flows to the “FTR” Port on the Frame Sway 
Cylinder through a 0.041" Orifice to the base end of the 
cylinder. Oil exits the Frame Sway Cylinder through a 
0.048" Orifice and Check Valve at the “FTB” Port and 
returns to the Main Control Valve out the “Outlet” Port, 
then through the Oil Cooler, to the Return Filter and then 
to the Hydraulic Reservoir.
