Abstract
A hydraulic actuator; a control valve that controls supply and discharge of hydraulic oil to and from the hydraulic actuator; a pilot operation valve connected to the operation valve by a pair of pilot lines; a proportional solenoid pressure-reducing valve provided on at least one of the pair of pilot lines; an operation detector that outputs an operation amount signal in accordance with an inclination angle of an operating lever of the pilot operation valve; and a controller that controls the proportional solenoid pressure-reducing valve such that, from immediately after a change amount per unit time in the operation amount signal outputted from the operation detector has decreased by a threshold value or more, a pilot port pressure of the control valve gradually decreases to zero due to communication of a secondary pressure port and a tank port of the proportional solenoid pressure-reducing valve with each other.
