The invention discloses a multiple-cylinder linkage hydraulic machine hydraulic system use method, and belongs to the technical field of hydraulic machines. The method comprises the control steps of main oil cylinder rapid down, main oil cylinder slow down, main oil cylinder pressure maintaining, main oil cylinder pressure release, main oil cylinder return and the like; when main oil cylinder rapid down is performed, a cartridge valve III, a cartridge valve VII and a cartridge valve VI are switched on, a cartridge valve IV is switched off, an upper cavity of a main oil cylinder is subjected tooil taking, and a lower cavity of the main oil cylinder is subjected to oil return; when main oil cylinder slow down is performed, a cartridge valve VII and a cartridge valve V are switched on, the cartridge valve VI is switched off, the upper cavity of the main oil cylinder is subjected to oil taking, the lower cavity of the main oil cylinder is subjected to oil return, and a workpiece is pressed; when main oil cylinder pressure maintaining is performed, the cartridge valve VII and the cartridge valve VIII are switched off, oil lines of the upper cavity and the lower cavity of the main oil cylinder are disconnected, and the main oil cylinder is locked; when main oil cylinder return is performed, the cartridge valve III is switched off, the cartridge valve IV and the cartridge valve VII are switched on, the lower cavity of the main oil cylinder is subjected to oil taking, and the upper cavity of the main oil cylinder is subjected to oil return. Accordingly, control over actions such as large hydraulic machine rapid down, slow down, pressure maintenance, pressure release and return can be achieved stably and reliably.
