Snubber operation (extension of cylinder rod ) (9) Snubber (12) Passage |
|
As the boom control lever is moved to the boom RAISE position, or the stick control lever is moved to the stick IN position, the boom cylinder (2) and stick cylinder (8) extends close to the end of the extension stroke. Passage (12) is restricted by snubber (9). The movement of the piston rod slows down before the piston rod stops.

Snubber operation (retraction of cylinder rod ) (10) Snubber (13) Passage |
|
As the stick control lever is moved to the stick OUT position, stick cylinder (8) retracts close to the end of the retraction stroke. Passage (13) is restricted by snubber (10). The movement of the piston rod slows down before the piston rod stops. The shock load is absorbed when the piston is slowed down.
