Patent ID: 7927060

Claim:
A refuse collection vehicle hydraulic system, the system comprising: a hydraulic pump in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid tank; a main hydraulic fluid line, the hydraulic pump operable to create hydraulic pressure in the main hydraulic fluid line; a refuse cart lifter; a refuse cart lifter hydraulic supply line in fluid communication with the main hydraulic fluid line; a diverter control assembly, the diverter control assembly in fluid communication with the refuse cart lifter hydraulic supply line, the diverter control assembly comprising: a pressure sequence valve, the pressure sequence valve configured to sense the hydraulic pressure in the main hydraulic fluid line; wherein the pressure sequence valve is configured to direct hydraulic fluid flow downstream of the refuse cart lifter into the main hydraulic fluid line without passing through the hydraulic fluid tank when the hydraulic pressure sensed by the pressure sequence valve is below a predetermined set point.
