A.2 Forward/reverse high-pressure relief valves

The purpose of the high-pressure relief valves is to regulate the increase in HP pressure. They protect the transmission components (hydrostatic motors and pump).

(A)

Coupler and clutch functions inactive: identical pressure in both chambers. The spool is held in closed position
by the spring.
Coupler and clutch functions active: the pressure drop caused by the restrictor (nozzle) applies a force to the
spool that is greater than the force of the spring. The spool moves to the right, bringing PH into contact with
ES (charge).
HP pressure is limited by the coupler and clutch spools.

A.3 Flushing valve

This valve "rinses" the oil inside the hydrostatic loop.
