Solenoid Valve (Proportional Reducing) - Calibrate - Boom Down Regeneration
The boom hydraulic circuit contains a regeneration circuit. This regeneration circuit allows the return oil from the head end of the boom cylinders to be supplied to the rod end of the boom cylinders during the BOOM DOWN operation. The proportional reducing valve (PRV) for the boom regeneration valve controls the amount of pilot pressure from the joystick to the boom down regeneration valve. The PRV for the boom regeneration valve is controlled by the machine ECM.
