GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
MOUNTING
Any unrestricted mounting position acceptable.
Horizontal mounting preferred. The mounting hub
and two-bolt mounting flange conform to SAE
mounting standards.
Continental Hydraulics does not recommend direct
rigid connection of piston pumps to the Prime Mover.
Use of a flexible coupling, a coupling that allows for
minor misalignment is recommended.
If the shaft connection to the Prime Mover is rigid, the
mounting face diametric concentricity and squareness
must be within .001 inch (0.03 mm) T.I.R. for a flange
mounted pump.
The HPV Piston Pump is designed for in-line drive.
Angle drive creates side loads on the shaft, and is not
acceptable.
SHAFT INFORMATION
Splined:
The coupling interface must be lubricated.
Continental Hydraulics recommends lithium
molydisulfate, or similar grease. The female coupling
should be hardened to 27-45 Rc, and must conform
to ANSI B92.1 Class 5 Fillet or Flat Root Side Fit.
Keyed:
High strength heat treated keys must be used.
Replacement keys must be hardened to 27-34 Rc.
Key corners must be chamfered .030 - .040 inch (.75
- 1.0 mm) at 45° to clear radii in the keyway.
PLUMBING
Connect inlet and outlet lines to the pump’s cover.
HPV fluid connections are SAE straight thread, SAE
flange or BSPP.

Maximum case pressure is 10 psi (0.70 bar). Case
pressure must never exceed inlet pressure by more
than 15 psi (1.0 bar). To prevent fluid drain-down
from the pump when idle, make certain that case
drain plumbing passes above the highest point of the
pump before entering the reservoir. Or, install a 5 psi
(.3 bar) case pressure check valve to assure that the
pump is always filled with hydraulic fluid.
The case drain line must be big enough to prevent
back pressure in excess of 10 psi (0.70 bar).
Form No. R92.00 Rev. 10/03

Page 2
PLUMBING (continued...)
Hydraulic fluid from the case drain line should be
returned to the reservoir below the fluid level, and as
far from the supply intake as possible. All fluid lines
(whether pipe, tubing or hose) must be of adequate
size and strength to assure free flow through the
pump. Do not tee return lines together.
SYSTEM RELIEF VALVES
Although HPV series pumps have a very fast offstroke compensator response, fast acting relief valves
are recommended in all cases for safety. They also
help reduce transient pressure spikes.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
Note: The following fluid recommendations
and specifications apply to HPV series
pumps only. Assure that all other
components in the hydraulic system have
compatible requirements.
Petroleum-based, and most phosphate esters. Fluids
should be designated by the manufacturer for use in
hydraulic systems. Fluids should be formulated with
oxidation inhibitors, anti-rust, anti-foam and
deaerating agents. Other fluids may be acceptable,
but special O-rings may be required. Nitrile (Buna)
seals are standard.
VISCOSITY
Maximum at full power . . . . . . .750 SUS (160 Cst)
Optimum for maximum life . . . .140 SUS (30 Cst)
Minimum at full power . . . . . . . 60 SUS (10 Cst)
VISCOSITY INDEX
90 V.I. minimum. Higher values extend the operating
temperature range, but may reduce fluid service life.
Fluid Operating Temperature – Operating
temperature should be determined by the viscosity
characteristics of the fluid used. Fluid temperature in
the reservoir during operation should be kept between
100° F. and 130° F. (38° C. and 54° C.) Because high
temperature degrades seals, reduces service life and
creates hazards, fluid temperature should not exceed
180° F. (82° C.) at the case drain.
CAUTION – Fluid temperatures in excess of
120° F. (49° C.) can cause serious burns and
scalding. Allow fluid to cool before
performing any repairs or maintenance.
Fluid Cleanliness – Control particle contamination by
changing or cleaning all filter elements periodically
BEFORE they become clogged and start to by-pass.
Fluid must be cleaned before and continuously during
operation to a cleanliness level of ISO 18/16/13 or
better. This level of cleanliness can usually be
accomplished by use of 10 micron filters. Better fluid
cleanliness will significantly extend component life.
Since contaminant generation varies with each
application, each must be analyzed to determine
proper filtration to maintain required cleanliness.
After Extended Shutdowns – Some types of
hydraulic fluids become tacky after long periods of
non-use. If possible, hand turn the pump several
times after extended shutdowns to assure that all
components move freely before powering up.
CAUTION – Before hand turning any pump,
be sure that any resulting machine function
will not endanger persons or equipment.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This pump is self-lubricating. Preventive maintenance
is limited to keeping the system fluid clean by
changing filters regularly. Since filtering needs can
vary depending on applications, filters used with this
pump should be equipped with indicators that show
when changes are needed. Do not operate the pump
in a system with clogged or bypassing filters.
Keep all fittings and screws tight. Do not operate this
pump at pressures or speeds in excess of stated
limits. If the pump does not operate properly, check
the Trouble Shooting Section of this manual before
attempting to overhaul the pump.
Overhauls are relatively simple, and are covered in
the Repair Procedures Section of this manual.
Note: It is especially important to keep
suction or inlet piping and fittings tight
and in good repair. Air drawn into the
system through loose or damaged intake
fittings can cause the pump to fail.
START UP PROCEDURE FOR NEW INSTALLATION
1. Read and understand the Service Manual. Identify
components and their
functions.
2. Visually inspect system
Case Drain
Ports
components and lines for
possible damage.
3. Check reservoir for
cleanliness. Drain and
clean as required.
4. Check reservoir fluid
level and fill as required
with filtered fluid that
Figure 3
meets or exceeds ISO 18/16/13 cleanliness level. Fill
pump through either Case Drain Port (Figure 3).
5. Check drive alignment.
6. Check and activate oil cooler (if included in circuit).
Check fluid temperature.
7. Reduce relief valve pressure settings. Make sure
accurate pressure readings can be made at
appropriate places.
8. If the system includes solenoids, check for proper
actuation.
9. Jog electric motor to confirm proper rotation.
Jogging the electric motor primes the pump and
bleeds air from the system.
10. Start pump drive. Look for leaks, and listen for
excessive noise at the pump. If leaks, chattering or
other noises are observed, immediately turn the pump
off. Corrective actions are covered in the Trouble
Shooting Section.
11. Cycle unloaded machine at low pressure, and
observe actuation (at low speed, if possible).
12. Increase pressure settings gradually. Check for
leaks in all lines, especially in the pump inlet line.
13. Adjust system pressure as needed.
14. Gradually increase system speed to normal
operating level. Be alert for trouble as indicated by
noise, sound changes, system shocks, leaks, or air
bubbles in the reservoir.

Page 3
START UP PROCEDURE (continued...)
15. When the system is running normally, check fluid
level and temperature at the reservoir. Repeat these
checks periodically. Excessive fluid temperatures will
damage the pump. If fluid temperature does not
stabilize at 140° F (60° C.) or less, stop the system
and take appropriate corrective action.
16. System is operational. Follow appropriate
maintenance procedures to assure fluid cleanliness
and proper operating temperature.
REPLACEMENT PUMP INSTALLATION
To prevent premature pump failure, make
sure that the entire hydraulic circuit is
flushed completely clean before
installing and operating a replacement
pump.
Simply draining the reservoir or relying on the
system’s filters is not enough to adequately clean the
fluid. Debris trapped in other components or lines
may damage the components themselves, or be
drawn into the pump. Failure to properly flush the
system before installing a replacement pump voids
the pump’s warranty.
The following procedures checklist will help you
replace a hydraulic pump with confidence that it will
provide satisfactory pump life.
1. Determine the cause of the failure (be sure you
have found the cause, and not simply a symptom).
2. Eliminate the cause of the failure.
3. Drain the entire circuit, including cylinders, motors,
reservoirs, control valves, heat exchangers, and
filters.
4. Remove system lines and components. Flush with
a compatible solvent, or clean filtered oil to remove
contamination that may have entered the system
when the pump failed. Be certain that fluid has been
flushed from cylinders.
5. Visually inspect components for possible
contamination, and for proper operation. Pay special
attention to wipers on cylinder rods. Be sure that the
rods are free of nicks and scratches.
6. Flush the reservoir using pressurized solvent. Use
clean, dry, lint-free cloths to ensure a clean interior.
Inspect the filler/breather (if used) and the suction
strainer for cleanliness.
7. Install a new filter with a 10 micron or better
element, and low Beta ratio. If the machine does not
have a filter, install one that meets these
specifications.
8. Fill the reservoir with new, FILTERED oil of the
recommended type. Be certain to monitor the fluid
level, since the entire system (not just the reservoir)
must be filled.
9. Re-install all system lines. Visually inspect to make
sure they are clean, and free of contamination. Be
sure that all inlet fittings are tight and clean.
10. Install the new pump.
11. Follow the start-up procedures given on pages 2
and 3 of this manual.
12. Cycle all cylinders and operate all motors at
normal operating speeds for 20 minutes. While
operating, observe the reservoir fluid level, since all
components will be filling with hydraulic fluid.
13. Replace the filter element, and check the fluid
level. Add new, clean, filtered oil if required.
To assure that your replacement pump performs at
the same level as the original pump, check daily for
proper fluid level, filter condition and leaks. Change
fluid at recommended intervals. Good fluid
maintenance is especially important when using other
than mineral based fluids.

Control Option Adjustment Procedures - Remote
Compensator
1. Be sure the pin (24) is not in the compensator
spool. See Figure 16.
2. Attach a vent line, with needle valve, into the vent
line, between the compensator and tank.
Figure 11
3. Close the valve in the vent line.
4. Start the pump and adjust the load to deadhead
(no flow). If there is a check valve installed before the
pressure gauge, allow some flow in the circuit (up to
10% of full flow).
5. Open the vent valve, and set the “minimum
pressure adjustment screw” (see Fig. 11) to 250 ± 25
psi (17 ± 1.7 bar).
6. Close the vent valve. Set the “upper pressure limit
adjustment” to the maximum desired compensator
setting. See Figure 11 for adjuster location.
7. Open and close the vent port several times. When
the valve is open, discharge pressure should drop to
the differential setting of 250 ± 25 psi (17 ± 1.7 bar).
When it is closed, discharge pressure should go to
the maximum compensator setting. Cycle the pump
from deadhead to full flow with the compensator
vented or unvented.
8. If flow is within accepted limits, and no leaks are
detected, remove the needle valve from the vent port.
9. The pump is now ready for remote control.
1. Make sure the pin (24, Fig. 16) is in the
compensator spool.
2. Install a sense line between the load valve and the
speed valve.
3. Open the load valve.
4. Back the upper pressure limit adjustment screw out
two (2) turns. (Fig. 12, page 16)
5. Using a speed valve, adjust the pump to zero flow
(deadhead). Note: if there is a check valve installed
before the pressure gauge, allow some flow in the
circuit (up to 10% of full flow).
6. Adjust the pressure differential adjustment screw to
∆250 ± 25 psi (17 ± 1.7 bar). (Fig. 12)
7. Using the speed valve, adjust the pump to partial
flow (25-50% of full flow).
8. Close the load valve.
9. Set the upper pressure limit adjustment to the
desired compensator setting.
10. Open and close the load valve several times.
When the load valve is open, discharge pressure
should drop down to the pressure differential setting
of ∆250 ± 25 psi (17 ± 1.7 bar). When the load valve
is closed, discharged pressure should go to the
maximum compensator setting.
11. Using the load valve, adjust the discharge
pressure from 500 psi (34.5 bar) to 2500 psi (172.4
bar). The differential pressure should be at ∆250 ± 25
psi (17 ± 1.7 bar) throughout the range.
12. Using the speed valve, cycle the pump from zero
flow (deadhead) to full flow.
13. If flow is within accepted limits, and no leaks are
detected, the compensator is ready for operation.

5. Start the pump.
6. Using the Compensator Override Adjustment (Fig.
13), set the compensator 500 psi (34.5 bar) above the
desired pressure (P1). Note: if the pump is not at
zero flow, adjust the relief valve until zero flow is
achieved.
7. Adjust the relief valve to the desired pressure (P1).
8. Adjust the High Pressure Flow Adjustment (Fig. 13)
to achieve full flow at 95% of the desired pressure
(P1). Note: if the discharge pressure drops below the
desired value, readjust it using the relief valve.
9. Adjust the relief valve to the desired pressure (P1)
plus 1/2 turn.
10. Using the Compensator Override Adjustment, set
the pump at the desired pressure (P1). Note: the
pump should be at zero flow.
11. Adjust the pump to the desired flow (F2). At the
same time, use the High Flow Pressure Adjustment to
set the discharge pressure to the corresponding full
flow pressure (P2).
12. Check the flow at 95% of P1. If it is not as
desired, adjust it by using the High Flow Pressure
Adjustment.
