  • Patent number: 10247207
    Abstract: When an engine stall is likely to occur, the pressure of the back pressure chamber of a relief pressure valve is released to adjust the relief pressure of the relief pressure valve. This actuates a pressure compensating circuit to release the pressure in a control circuit to an oil tank. Thus, a rapid increase of the pressure due to a cargo handling operation is restricted, and an engine stall due to insufficient torque of the engine is avoided.
