Abstract
A travel motor hydraulic control system for a construction machine having a plurality of hydraulic pumps which supply individually pressurized fluid for a plurality of hydraulic travel motors and a plurality of flow control valves which control the flow rate of the pressurized fluid to be supplied to the motor during an ordinary work. A controller receives a control signal representative of a travel control lever stroke sensed by a position sensor and a control signal detected by a pressure sensor, determines if the vehicle is traveling up a slope, and transmits a command signal to a solenoid operated valve to move a pilot operated shut off valve toward a valve-closing position, thereby the travel hydraulic motors are individually supplied the pressurized fluid from the hydraulic pumps.
