Tilt Circuit
The tilt circuit rotates the boom assemblies clockwise and counter-clockwise. Total boom tilt is 220° (on standard XL
4100 and XL 5100 Excavators (+/- 110° off level). Optional 270°, 360° non-continuous, and 360° continuous
rotation are available upon special order.
The tilt function is accomplished by electrical, hydraulic and mechanical energy. The right hand joystick is equipped
with an electrical switch in the handle. When the switch is engaged on the right or left side, the selected electric
solenoid end cap of the main control valve is energized shifting the spool and directing pressurized fluid to the tilt
motor. The tilt motor is a Gerotor-type.
See Figure 64
The tilt motor is fastened to a mechanical transmission located at the back of the boom cradle. The motor drives this
transmission clockwise or counter-clockwise when pressurized. The transmission drives a tilt bearing mounted to the
main boom and boom cradle. Refer to
XL 4000/5000 Upperstructure Mechanical Adjustments &
Repair Manual
(Form 29604), for additional information on the mechanical portion of this circuit.
See Appendix
B (XL 4100) or Appendix C (XL 5100)
for tilt circuit cycle time.
