Hydrostatics Servicing Overview
This manual includes information on installation, maintenance, and minor repair of these pumps. It
includes a description of the unit and its individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor
repair procedures.
Performing minor repairs may require the unit to be removed from the vehicle/machine. Thoroughly
clean the unit before beginning maintenance or repair activities. Since dirt and contamination are the
greatest enemies of any type of hydraulic equipment, follow cleanliness requirements strictly. This is
especially important when changing the system filter and when removing hoses or plumbing.
A worldwide network of Danfoss Global Service Partners is available for major repairs. Danfoss trains and
certifies Global Service Partners on a regular basis. You can locate your nearest Global Service Partner
using the distributor locator at http://www.danfoss.com.
Attention
Major repairs requiring the removal of a unit’s center section, servo sleeves, or front flange voids the
warranty unless a Danfoss Authorized Service Center performs them.
General instructions
Remove the unit
If necessary, remove the unit from the vehicle/machine. Chock the wheels on the vehicle or lock the
mechanism to inhibit movement. Be aware that hydraulic fluid may be under high pressure and/or hot.
Inspect the outside of the pump and fittings for damage. Cap hoses after removal to prevent
contamination.
Keep it clean
Cleanliness is a primary means of assuring satisfactory pump life, on either new or repaired units. Clean
the outside of the pump thoroughly before disassembly. Take care to avoid contamination of the system
ports. Cleaning parts by using a clean solvent wash and air drying is usually adequate.
As with any precision equipment, keep all parts free of foreign materials and chemicals. Protect all
exposed sealing surfaces and open cavities from damage and foreign material. If left unattended, cover
the pump with a protective layer of plastic.
Lubricate moving parts
During assembly, coat all moving parts with clean hydraulic fluid. This assures that these parts are
lubricated during start-up.
Replace all O-rings and gaskets
Danfoss recommends that you replace all O-rings, seals and gaskets. Lightly lubricate all O-rings with
clean petroleum jelly prior to assembly.
Secure the unit

AX00000244en-000201
For repair, place the unit in a stable position with the shaft pointing downward. It will be necessary to
secure the pump while removing and torquing end covers, controls, and valves.
Safety Precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Unintended Machine Movement
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
Secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism while servicing to protect against unintended
movement.
Flammable Cleaning Solvents
Some cleaning solvents are flammable.
Do not use cleaning solvents in an area where a source of ignition may be present to avoid possible fire.
Fluid Under Pressure
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns.
Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your
hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Personal Safety
Protect yourself from injury whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.
Hazardous Material
Hydraulic fluid contains hazardous material.
Avoid prolonged contact with hydraulic fluid. Always dispose of used hydraulic fluid according to state,
and federal environmental regulations.

Recommended installation position
Pump installation position is discretionary, however the recommended control position is
on the top or at the side with the top position preferred. If the pump is installed with the
control at the bottom, flushing flow must be provided through port M14 located on the
EDC, FNR, NFPE, NFPH and MDC control. Vertical input shaft installation is acceptable. The
housing must always be filled with hydraulic fluid. Recommended mounting for a multiple
pump stack is to arrange the highest power flow towards the input source. Consult
Danfoss for non-conformance to these guidelines.

MP1 high pressure relief valve (HPRV) and charge check
All pumps are equipped with a combination high pressure relief and charge check valve. The high-
pressure relief function is a dissipative (with heat generation) pressure control valve for the purpose of
limiting excessive system pressures. The charge check function acts to replenish the low-pressure side of
the working loop with charge oil. Each side of the transmission loop has a dedicated HPRV valve that is
non-adjustable with a factory set pressure. When system pressure exceeds the factory setting of the
valve, oil is passed from the high pressure system loop, into the charge gallery, and into the low pressure
system loop via the charge check.
The pump order code allows for different pressure settings to be used at each system port. The system
pressure order code for pumps with only HPRV is a reflection of the HPRV setting.
HPRV´s are factory set at a low flow condition. Any application or operating condition which leads to
elevated HPRV flow will cause a pressure rise with flow above a valve setting. Consult factory for
application review. Excessive operation of the HPRV will generate heat in the closed loop and may cause
damage to the internal components of the pump.
P400353

Low Pressure
Bypass Function
The bypass function allows a machine or load to be moved without rotating the pump shaft or prime
mover. The single pump HPRV valve also provides a loop bypass function when each of the two HPRV hex
plugs are mechanically backed out three full turns.
Engaging the bypass function mechanically connects both A & B sides of the working loop to the
common charge gallery.
Possible damage to drive motor(s).
Excessive speeds and extended load/vehicle movement must be avoided. The load or vehicle should be
moved not more than 20% of maximum speed and for a duration not exceeding 3 minutes. When the
bypass function is no longer needed, care should be taken to re-seat the HPRV hex plugs to the normal
operating position.

MP1 charge pressure relief valve (CPRV) function
An internal charge pressure relief valve (CPRV) regulates charge pressure within the hydraulic circuit. The
CPRV is a direct acting poppet valve that regulates charge pressure at a designated level above case
pressure.
The charge pressure relief valve setting is specified within the model code of the pump. pumps with
charge pump have the CPRV set at 1800 rpm while MP1 pumps without charge pump have the CPRV set
with 18.9 l/min [5.0 US gal/min] of external supply flow. The charge pressure rise rate, with flow, is
approximately 1 bar/10 liter [5.4 psi/US gal].

Loop flushing valve
pumps are available with an optional integral loop flushing. A loop flushing valve will remove heat and
contaminants from the main loop at a rate faster than otherwise possible.
The loop flushing design is a simple spring centered shuttle spool with an orifice plug. The shuttle shifts
at approximately 3.9 bar [55.7 psi]. The flushing flow is a function of the low loop system pressure
(charge) and the size of the plug.

Electrical displacement control (EDC)
EDC principle
An EDC is a displacement (flow) control. Pump swashplate position is proportional to the input command
and therefore vehicle or load speed (excluding influence of efficiency), is dependent only on the prime
mover speed or motor displacement.
The Electrical Displacement Control (EDC) consists of a pair of proportional solenoids on each side of a
three-position, four-way porting spool. The proportional solenoid applies a force input to the spool,
which ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a double acting servo piston. Differential pressure across
the servo piston rotates the swashplate, changing the pump‘s displacement from full displacement in
one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction. Under some circumstances, such as
contamination, the control spool could stick and cause the pump to stay at some displacement.
A 170 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.

EDC operation
EDC’s are current driven controls requiring a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. Pulse width
modulation allows more precise control of current to the solenoids. The PWM signal causes the solenoid
pin to push against the porting spool, which pressurizes one end of the servo piston, while draining the
other. Pressure differential across the servo piston moves the swashplate.
A swashplate feedback link, opposing control links, and a linear spring provide swashplate position force
feedback to the solenoid. The control system reaches equilibrium when the position of the swashplate
spring feedback force exactly balances the input command solenoid force from the operator. As
hydraulic pressures in the operating loop change with load, the control assembly and servo/swashplate
system work constantly to maintain the commanded position of the swashplate.

Operation

AX00000244en-000201
The EDC incorporates a positive neutral deadband as a result of the control spool porting, preloads from
the servo piston assembly, and the linear control spring. Once the neutral threshold current is reached,
the swashplate is positioned directly proportional to the control current. To minimize the effect of the
control neutral deadband, we recommend the transmission controller or operator input device
incorporate a jump up current to offset a portion of the neutral deadband.
The neutral position of the control spool does provide a positive preload pressure to each end of the
servo piston assembly.
When the control input signal is either lost or removed, or if there is a loss of charge pressure, the spring-
loaded servo piston will automatically return the pump to the neutral position.

Control Response
H1controls are available with optional control passage orifices to assist in matching the rate of swash-
plate response to the application requirements.
The time required for the pump output flow to change from zero to full flow (acceleration) or full flow to
zero (deceleration) is a net function of spool porting, orifices, and charge pressure.
H1 pumps are limited in mechanical orifice combinations. Mechanical servo orifices are to be used only
for fail-safe return to neutral in a case of an electrical failure.
A swash-plate response times table is available for each frame size. Testing should be conducted to verify
the proper orifice selection for the desired response. Typical response times at the following conditions:
Δ p = 250 bar [3626 psi]
Charge pressure = 20 bar [290 psi]

Manual Over Ride (MOR)
Electro-hydraulic controls are available with a Manual Over Ride (MOR) either standard or as an option for
temporary actuation of the control to aid in diagnostics.
Initial actuation of the o-ring seal MOR plunger will require a force of 45 N. Additional actuations typically
require less force to engage the MOR plunger. Proportional control of the pump via the MOR is not
intended. The MOR plunger has a 4 mm diameter and must be manually depressed to be engaged.
Depressing the plunger mechanically moves the control spool which allows the pump to go on stroke.
Unintended MOR operation can cause the pump to go into stroke.
The vehicle or device must always be in a safe condition (example: vehicle lifted off the ground) when
using the MOR function. The MOR should be engaged anticipating a full stroke response from the pump.
Refer to control flow table for the relationship of solenoid to direction of flow.

Swash Plate Angle Sensor for EDC Controls
The angle sensor detects the swash plate position with an accuracy dependent upon the calibration
effort done for the application and direction of rotation from the neutral position. At minimum the sensor
can be used for forward, neutral and reverse (FNR) detection.
The sensor works on the hall-effect technology. The implemented technology is based on a
measurement of the magnetic field direction in parallel to the chip surface. This field direction is
converted to a voltage signal at the output.
Enhanced calibration of the non-linear behavior leads to more exact calculation of the pump swash plate
angle.
The 4-pin DEUTSCH connector is part of the sensor housing.
The swash plate angle sensor is available for all EDC controls for 12 V and 24 V.

Calibration of the sensor output within the software is mandatory. Vehicle neutral thresholds in the
software (±0.5°) are vehicle dependent and must consider different conditions, example: system
temperature, system pressure and/or shaft speed.
For safety function: If the sensor fails (invalid signal <10% or >90% of supply voltage), it must be sure
that the ECU will go into a diagnostic mode and shift into limited mode in order for the driver to take the
full control or the mechanical breaks should be activated.
Strong magnetic fields in the proximity of the sensor can influence the sensor signal and must be
avoided.

Manual displacement control
MDC principle
An MDC is a Manual proportional Displacement Control (MDC). The MDC consists of a handle on top of a
rotary input shaft. The shaft provides an eccentric connection to a feedback link. This link is connected on
its one end with a porting spool. On its other end the link is connected the pumps swashplate.
This design provides a travel feedback without spring. When turning the shaft the spool moves thus
providing hydraulic pressure to either side of a double acting servo piston of the pump.
Differential pressure across the servo piston rotates the swash plate, changing the pump’s displacement.
Simultaneously the swashplate movement is fed back to the control spool providing proportionality
between shaft rotation on the control and swashplate rotation.

MP1

AX00000244en-000201 | 19
The MDC changes the pump displacement between no flow and full flow into opposite directions. Under
some circumstances, such as contamination, the control spool could stick and cause the pump to stay at
some displacement.
A 170 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.
The MDC is sealed by means of a static O-ring between the actuation system and the control block. Its
shaft is sealed by means of a special O-ring which is applied for low friction. The special O-ring is
protected from dust, water and aggressive liquids or gases by means of a special lip seal.

20 N•m [177 lbf•in]
MDC Operation
The MDC provides a mechanical deadband required to overcome the tolerances in the mechanical
actuation. The MDC contains an internal end stop to prevent turning the handle into any inappropriate
position.
The MDC provides a permanent restoring moment appropriate for turning the MDC input shaft back to
neutral position only. This is required to take the backlash out of the mechanical connections between
the Bowden cable and the control.
High case pressure may cause excessive wear and the NSS to indicate that the control is not in neutral
position. In addition, if the case pressure exceeds 5 bar there is a risk of an insufficient restoring moment.
The MDC is designed for a maximum case pressure of 5 bar and a rated case pressure of 3 bar.
•
Customers must install some support to limit the setting range of their Bowden cable to avoid an
overload of the MDC.
•
Customers can apply their own handle design but they must care about a robust clamping
connection between their handle and the control shaft and avoid overload of the shaft.
•
Customers can connect two MDC’s on a tandem unit in such a way that the actuation force will be
transferred from the pilot control to the second control. The kinematic of the linkages must ensure
that either control shaft is protected from torque overload.
C Caution
Using the internal spring force on the input shaft is not an appropriate way to return the customer
connection linkage to neutral, or to force a Bowden cable or a joystick back to neutral position. It is not
applicable for any limitation of the Bowden cable stroke, except the applied torque to the shaft will never
exceed 20 Nm.

Non-Feedback, Proportional Hydraulic (NFPH) Control
The Non-Feedback Proportional Hydraulic (NFPH) control is a hydraulic proportional control in which an
input pressure signal directly controls the pump servo piston to achieve pump displacement.
pumps with NFPH control have a special servo cylinder capable of providing proportional control with a
hydraulic input.
Swashplate position is proportional to the differential signal pressure at ports X1 and X2, but
displacement is also dependent on pump speed and system pressure. This characteristic of non-feedback
controls provides a natural power limiting function by reducing the pump swashplate angle as system
pressure increases. The accompanying graph shows typical operating characteristics.
The system may require tuning through the pump orifice combinations, control pressure supply line
sizing, actuation device output pressure and flow adjustments to achieve proper vehicle performance
characteristics.

pressure to the control, allowing the servo springs to de-stroke the pump regardless of the pump´s
primary control input. There is also a hydraulic logic port, X7, which can be used to control other machine
functions, such as spring applied pressure release brakes. The pressure at X7 is controlled by the control
cut off solenoid. The X7 port would remain plugged if not needed.
In the normal (de-energized) state of the solenoid charge flow is prevented from reaching the controls. At
the same time the control passages and the X7 logic port are connected and drained to the pump case.
The pump will remain in neutral, or return to neutral, independent of the control input signal. Return to
neutral time will be dependent on oil viscosity, pump speed, swashplate angle, and system pressure.
When the solenoid is energized, charge flow and pressure is allowed to reach the pump control. The X7
logic port will also be connected to charge pressure and flow.
The solenoid control is intended to be independent of the primary pump control making the control cut
off an override control feature. It is however recommended that the control logic of the CCO valve be
maintained such that the primary pump control signal is also disabled whenever the CCO valve is de-
energized. Other control logic conditions may also be considered.
All EDC and MDC controls are available with a CCO valve.
The response time of the unit depends on the control type and the control orifices used.
The CCO-valve is available with 12 V or 24 V solenoid.

CCO solenoids are design for battery voltage application within the voltage range in the table above, in
consideration of a wide range of environmental temperature common for known hydraulic applications.
Closed loop PWM current supply can be also applied and is helpful in case that the voltage range is
exceeded, or ambient temperature could rise in an unusual manner.

C Caution
It is not recommended to use brake port for any external flow consumption to avoid malfunction of CCO
function.
Displacement limiter
All pumps are designed with optional mechanical displacement (stroke) limiters factory set to max.
displacement.
The maximum displacement of the pump can be set independently for forward and reverse using the
two adjustment screws to mechanically limit the travel of the servo piston. Adjustment procedures are
found in the Service Manual. Adjustments under operating conditions may cause leakage. The
adjustment screw can be completely removed from the threaded bore if backed out to far.

Minimum speed is the lowest input speed recommended during engine idle condition. Operating below
minimum speed limits pump’s ability to maintain adequate flow for lubrication and power transmission.
Rated speed is the highest input speed recommended at full power condition. Operating at or below
this speed should yield satisfactory product life.
Maximum speed is the highest operating speed permitted. Exceeding maximum speed reduces product
life and can cause loss of hydrostatic power and braking capacity. Never exceed the maximum speed
limit under any operating conditions.
Operating conditions between Rated speed and Maximum speed should be restricted to less than full
power and to limited periods of time. For most drive systems, maximum unit speed occurs during
downhill braking or negative power conditions.
During hydraulic braking and downhill conditions, the prime mover must be capable of providing
sufficient braking torque in order to avoid pump over speed. This is especially important to consider for
turbocharged and Tier 4 engines.
W Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
Exceeding maximum speed may cause a loss of hydrostatic drive line power and braking capacity. You
must provide a braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission, sufficient to stop and hold the
vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic drive power loss.
System Pressure
System pressure is the differential pressure between system ports A and B. It is the dominant operating
variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High system pressure, which results from high load, reduces
expected life. Hydraulic unit life depends on the speed and normal operating, or weighted average,
pressure that can only be determined from a duty cycle analysis.
Application pressure is the high pressure relief setting normally defined within the order code of the
pump. This is the applied system pressure at which the driveline generates the maximum calculated pull
or torque in the application.
Maximum working pressure is the highest recommended Application pressure. Maximum working
pressure is not intended to be a continuous pressure. Propel systems with Application pressures at, or
below, this pressure should yield satisfactory unit life given proper component sizing.
Maximum pressure is the highest allowable Application pressure under any circumstance. Application
pressures above Maximum Working Pressure will only be considered with duty cycle analysis and factory
approval. Pressure spikes are normal and must be considered when reviewing maximum working
pressure.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure. Subtract low loop
pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
Minimum low loop pressure (above case pressure) is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe
working condition in the low side of the loop.

An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. Charge pressure maintains a minimum pressure
in the low side of the transmission loop.
The charge pressure setting listed in the order code is the set pressure of the charge relief valve with the
pump in neutral, operating at 1800 min-1 [rpm], and with a fluid viscosity of 32 mm2/s [150 SUS]. Pumps
configured with no charge pump (external charge supply) are set with a charge flow of 15.0 l/min [4.0 US
gal/min] and a fluid viscosity of 32 mm2/s [150 SUS].
The charge pressure setting is referenced to case pressure.
Charge Pump Inlet Pressure
At normal operating temperature charge inlet pressure must not fall below rated charge inlet pressure
(vacuum).
Minimum charge inlet pressure is only allowed at cold start conditions. In some applications it is
recommended to warm up the fluid (e.g. in the tank) before starting the engine and then run the engine
at limited speed until the fluid warms up.
Maximum charge pump inlet pressure may be applied continuously.
Case Pressure
Under normal operating conditions, the rated case pressure must not be exceeded. During cold start case
pressure must be kept below maximum intermittent case pressure. Size drain plumbing accordingly.
C Caution
Possible component damage or leakage
Operation with case pressure in excess of stated limits may damage seals, gaskets, and/or housings,
causing external leakage. Performance may also be affected since charge and system pressure are
additive to case pressure.
Temperature
The high temperature limits apply at the hottest point in the transmission, which is normally the motor
case drain. The system should generally be run at or below the rated temperature.
The maximum intermittent temperature is based on material properties and should never be
exceeded.
Cold oil will not affect the durability of the transmission components, but it may affect the ability of oil to
flow and transmit power; therefore temperatures should remain 16 °C [30 °F] above the pour point of the
hydraulic fluid.
The minimum temperature relates to the physical properties of component materials. Size heat
exchangers to keep the fluid within these limits. Danfoss recommends testing to verify that these
temperature limits are not exceeded.
Ensure fluid temperature and viscosity limits are concurrently satisfied.

To prevent premature wear, ensure that only clean fluid enters the hydrostatic transmission circuit. A
filter capable of controlling the fluid cleanliness to ISO 4406, class 22/18/13 (SAE J1165) or better, under
normal operating conditions, is recommended.These cleanliness levels cannot be applied for hydraulic
fluid residing in the component housing/case or any other cavity after transport.
Filtration strategies include suction or pressure filtration. The selection of a filter depends on a number of
factors including the contaminant ingression rate, the generation of contaminants in the system, the
required fluid cleanliness, and the desired maintenance interval. Filters are selected to meet the above
requirements using rating parameters of efficiency and capacity.
Filter efficiency can be measured with a Beta ratio (βX). For simple suction-filtered closed circuit
transmissions and open circuit transmissions with return line filtration, a filter with a β-ratio within the
range of β35-45 = 75 (β10 ≥ 2) or better has been found to be satisfactory. For some open circuit systems,
and closed circuits with cylinders being supplied from the same reservoir, a higher filter efficiency is
recommended. This also applies to systems with gears or clutches using a common reservoir. For these
systems, a charge pressure or return filtration system with a filter β-ratio in the range of β15-20 = 75 (β10 ≥
10) or better is typically required.
Because each system is unique, only a thorough testing and evaluation program can fully validate the
filtration system. Please see Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness Technical Information,
520L0467 for more information.

Follow this procedure when starting-up a new pump installation or when restarting an installation in
which the pump has been removed and re-installed on a machine. Ensure pump has been thoroughly
tested on a test stand before installing on a machine.
W Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism
while servicing.
Prior to installing the pump, inspect for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
MP1 start-up procedure
Follow this procedure when starting-up a new pump installation or when restarting an installation in
which the pump has been removed and re-installed on a machine.
Prior to installing the pump on a machine, inspect for damage and ensure pump has been thoroughly
tested on a test stand before installing on a machine.
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
Ensure the machine is secured or disable/disconnect the mechanism while servicing.
1. Ensure that the machine hydraulic oil and system components (reservoir, hoses, valves, fittings, and
heat exchanger) are clean and free of any foreign material.
2. Install new system filter element(s) if necessary. Check that inlet line fittings are properly tightened
and there are no air leaks.
3. Install the pump. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] gauge in the charge pressure gauge port M3.
4. Fill the housing by adding filtered oil in the upper case drain port. If the control is installed on top,
open the construction plug in the top of the control to assist in air bleed.
5. Fill the reservoir with hydraulic fluid of the recommended type and viscosity. Use a 10-micron filler
filter. Fill inlet line from reservoir to pump. Ensure construction plug in control is closed after filling.
6. Disconnect the pump from all control input signals.
7. Close construction plug removed in step 4.
C Caution
After start-up the fluid level in the reservoir may drop due to system components filling. Damage to
hydraulic components may occur if the fluid supply runs out. Ensure reservoir remains full of fluid
during start-up.
Air entrapment in oil under high pressure may damage hydraulic components. Check carefully for
inlet line leaks.
Do not run at maximum pressure until system is free of air and fluid has been thoroughly filtered.
8. Use a common method to disable the engine to prevent it from starting. Crank the starter for several
seconds. Do not exceed the engine manufacturer’s recommendation. Wait 30 seconds and then crank
the engine a second time as stated above. This operation helps remove air from the system lines.
Refill the reservoir to recommended full oil level.
9. When the gauge begins to register charge pressure, enable and start engine. Let the engine run for a
minimum of 30 seconds at low idle to allow the air to work itself out of the system. Check for leaks at
all line connections and listen for cavitation. Check for proper fluid level in reservoir.
10. When adequate charge pressure is established (as shown in model code), increase engine speed to
normal operating rpm to further purge residual air from the system.

This section offers instruction on inspection and adjustment of pump components. Read through the
entire topic before beginning a service activity. Refer to Pressure measurements, for location of gauge
ports and suggested gauge size.
Standard Procedures
C Caution
Contamination can damage internal components and void your warranty. Take precautions to ensure
system cleanliness when removing and reinstalling system lines
1. With the prime mover off, thoroughly clean the outside of the pump.
2. If removing the pump, tag each hydraulic line. When you disconnect hydraulic lines, cap them and
plug each open port to prevent contamination.
3. Ensure the surrounding area is clean and free of contaminants like dirt and grime.
4. Inspect the system for contamination.
5. Check the hydraulic fluid for signs of contamination: oil discoloration, foam in the oil, sludge, or metal
particles.
6. If there are signs of contamination in the hydraulic fluid, replace all filters and drain the hydraulic
system. Flush the lines and refill the reservoir with the correct filtered hydraulic fluid.
7. Before re-installing the pump, test for leaks.
Charge Pressure Relief Valve
This procedure explains how to check and adjust the charge pressure relief valve. Refer to model code
located on serial number plate for charge relief setting.
1. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] pressure gauge in charge pressure gauge port M3. Install a 10 bar [100 psi]
gauge at case pressure port L1, L2. Operate the system with the pump in neutral (zero displacement)
when measuring charge pressure.
Listed pressures assume a pump speed of 1800 min-1 (rpm) and charge flow of 26.5 l/min [7 US gal/
min]. At higher pump speeds or higher charge flows the charge pressure will rise over the rated
setting.

2. Use a 4mm internal hex wrench to hold the neutral adjusting screw stationary while loosening the
locknut with a 13mm wrench.
3. Observe pressure gauges. If necessary, turn adjusting screw to reduce any pressure differential.
A small pressure differential of 1.5 bar [22 psi] or less is acceptable. Achieving zero differential is
usually not possible.
Adjustment of the EDC is very sensitive. Be sure to hold the hex wrench steady while loosening the
locknut. Total adjustment is less than 120 degrees.

Mechanical/Hydraulic Neutral Adjustment
Servo Adjustment
1. Run prime mover at 1800 min-1(rpm).
2. If using a PWM signal, ensure the signal is off. Check the servo pressure gauges. Ensure the differential
between M4 and M5 is less than 1.5 bar [22 psi].

3. Unthread both servo cylinders 2-3 turns using servo can tool (Tool ID DLD-6247). This step ensures
the servo cylinders have no contact with the servo piston.
4. Stroke the pump by turning the adjusting screw (or supplying current to solenoid C1) until the servo
pressure at port M4 is 1 to 2 bar [14– 29 psi] greater than at port M5 and the system pressure gauges
indicate displacement. Pressure should be greater at port MA for clockwise rotation, or MB for
counter clockwise rotation. This also indicates the servo piston is in contact with the servo cylinder on
side M5.
A small pressure differential of 1.5 bar [22 psi] or less is acceptable. Achieving zero differential is
usually not possible.
5. Slowly thread the servo cylinder on the M5 side in until the system pressure differential starts to
decrease. Maintain servo pressure differential between 1-2 bar [14-29 psi] during this step. Continue
turning the servo cylinder in until the system pressure differential (between ports MA/MB) is less than
1.5 bar [22 psi]. This procedure sets the servo and swashplate to mechanical neutral on the M5 side.
6. To complete setting neutral, repeat steps 1-5 but stroke the pump in the opposite direction by
turning the adjusting screw in the opposite direction, or by supplying current/hydraulic pressure to
solenoid C2. Reverse gauge locations (M4 for M5, MB for MA) from those stated above since the
pump is now stroking the other direction.
7. Remove all gauges and replace gauge port plugs.

Verify neutral setting
1. If using a PWM signal to set mechanical neutral, check that servo pressure differential is less than 1.5
bar [22 psi]. Refer to TS-422 or Control neutral adjustment.
2. To verify mechanical neutral, provide current to solenoid C1, or turn neutral adjusting screw, until the
servo pressure differential is 3 bar [43 psi]. The system pressure differential must be below 1.5 bar [22
psi]. Repeat test on solenoid C2 side.
3. The current required to set the servo pressure differential to 3 bar [43 psi] should be the same for
each solenoid. Refer to TS-422.
4. If using neutral adjusting screw to set mechanical neutral, reset control neutral.
Servo Adjustment Side M4
1. Run prime mover at 1800 rpm.
2. If using a PWM signal to set mechanical neutral, start with the electronic control testing tool off (no
current/hydraulic pressure to either solenoid). Check to be sure the servo pressure differential is less

instructions.
3. Turn neutral adjusting screw (or supply current/hydraulic pressure to solenoid C2) until the servo
pressure at port M5 is less than 1.5 bar [22 psi] greater than at port M4.
4. The system pressure differential must be greater than zero and the pressure at port A (B for clockwise
rotation) must be greater than the pressure at port B (A for clockwise rotation). This step ensures the
servo is in contact with the servo cylinder on side M4.
5. Slowly turn in the servo cylinder on the M4 side until the system pressure differential starts to
decrease. The servo pressure differential must be less than 1.5 bar [22 psi] during this step. Continue
turning in the servo cylinder until the system pressure differential is less than 1.5 bar [22 psi]. This
procedure sets the servo and swashplate to mechanical neutral.

Take precautions to ensure system cleanliness when removing and installing system lines.
1. With the prime mover off, thoroughly clean all dirt and grime from the outside of the pump.
2. Tag, disconnect, and cap each hydraulic line connected to the pump. As hydraulic lines are
disconnected, plug each open port, to ensure that dirt and contamination do not get into the pump.
3. Remove the pump and its auxiliary pump (if applicable) as a single unit.
Be careful, do not damage solenoids and electrical connections when using straps or chains to
support the pump.
4. Ensure the work surface and surrounding area are clean and free of contaminants such as dirt and
grime.
5. Inspect the system for contamination.
6. Look at the hydraulic fluid for signs of system contamination, oil discoloration, foam in the oil, sludge,
or metal particles.
7. Before replacing the pump, replace all filters and drain the hydraulic system. Flush the system lines
and fill the reservoir with the correct, filtered hydraulic fluid.
8. Fill the pump with clean, filtered hydraulic fluid.
9. Attach the pump to the prime mover. Torque mounting screws according to the manufacturers
recommendation.
