MAVERICK 3/09 Operation Section 3-23

OPERATION
The electrical power can be “ON” or “OFF” for the emergency controls to work. Using a punch or nail press the
gold button to get the movement desired. The electrical wires may be left connected or may be disconnected;
the button will operate the function in either case. The code on the wires can be used to identify the valve
function.
NOTE: The “Head Tilt Down” control will not operate because of the lock-valve on that function. All other
function will operate at a speed greater than the speed of the movement when controlled with the “Joystick”.
The speed of movement is not variable due to the bypass of the “Joystick” function. Post an
observer on the boom side of the tractor, out of harms way, to assist with direction of boom
movement.
6.1 Maverick Boom Control System
Operating the boom control functions is done so by means of a load sensing electronic over hydraulic system.
There are three main areas of that system, the electronic network, instrumentation and the hydraulic
components.
System Components
• The hydraulic system
• The electronic network
• The instrumentation
• Operator Interface OPS-B- 0031
The Hydraulic System
The hydraulic components are responsible for transferring mechanical power into hydraulic power. There are
two separate hydraulic circuits, the boom circuit, and the mower head circuit.
How the Boom is controlled
The system progression starts with operator input at the joystick (fig 1) or other instrumentation. Input is
received at the CAN module (fig 2) and joins on the network. That information is transferred via the network to
the valve solenoid (fig 3), which activates and moves the spool sending hydraulic fluid to the cylinder (fig 4)
and moves the load. OPS-B- 0046
