For a swashplate axial piston pump controlling crane boom lift, which consequence results when debris contaminates the proportional control valve?

A)Unintended boom descent occurs
B)Reduced pump volumetric efficiency
C)Elevated hydraulic fluid temperature
D)Increased pump cavitation vulnerability

💡 Explanation

Contamination prevents spool movement within the valve controlling fluid flow to the lift cylinder, leading to uncontrolled descent because internal leakage dumps pressure; therefore boom lowering happens rather than stable positioning. Back pressure check valves also fail.
