Main Control Valve

(1) Attachment Control Valve

(2) Auxiliary Control Valve

(3) Auxiliary Control Valve (Medium Pressure)

System 1, System 5, System 15 and System 16 use only attachment control valve (1) .

System 2, System 3 and System 3 Prime use only attachment control valve (1) and auxiliary control valve (2) .

System 11, System 14 and System 17 use attachment control valve (1), auxiliary control valve (2), and the auxiliary control valve (medium pressure) (3) .

320C, 322C and 325C excavators can have a tool control system on the machine. Refer to the table in order to determine the tool control system. The tool control system is set by the factory and stored in the ECM.

Refer to the Systems Operation for a description of each system.

The tool control system should only be changed on the monitor if certain components on the machine are changed first.

Each tool control system has five “TOOL#s”. Some tool control systems have parameters that can be set for each “TOOL#”. In order to customize the “TOOL#” for a particular work tool, change the parameter values for the work tool. The default parameters of the work tool that can be changed are explained for each tool control system.

The correct “TOOL#” must be selected during the operation of the work tool. Parameters for the “TOOL#” must be properly programmed. Refer to the specifications of the manufacturer in order to set the parameters of the “TOOL#”.
