This manual includes information for the installation, maintenance, and minor repair of the LPV pump. It includes a description of the unit and its individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor repair procedures.
Performing minor repairs requires 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 Global Service Partners are trained by the factory and certified on a regular basis. You can locate your nearest Global Service Partner using the distributor locator at www.sauer-danfoss.com. Click on the Sales and Service link.
Performing installation, maintenance, and minor repairs according to the procedures in this manual will not affect your warranty. Major repairs requiring the removal of a unit’s rear cover or front flange voids the warranty unless done by a Danfoss Global Service Partner.
Follow these general procedures when repairing Series LPV variable displacement closed circuit pumps.
Remove the unit
Prior to performing major repairs, 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, all parts must be kept 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 a film of clean hydraulic oil. This assures that these parts will be lubricated during start-up.
Replace all O-rings and gaskets

Introduction
It is recommended that all O-rings be replaced. Lightly lubricate all O-rings with clean petroleum jelly prior to assembly.
Secure the unit
For major 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 the endcap bolts.
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
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.
Flammable Cleaning Solvents
W Warning
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an area where a source of ignition may be present.
Fluid Under Pressure
W Warning
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. Use caution when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure. 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. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Personal Safety
W Warning
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.
Hazardous Material
W Warning
Hydraulic fluid contains hazardous material. Avoid prolonged contact with hydraulic fluid. Always dispose of used hydraulic fluid according to state, and federal environmental regulations.

The symbols above appear in the illustrations and text of this manual. They are intended to communicate helpful information at the point where it is most useful to the reader. In most instances, the appearance of the symbol itself denotes its meaning. The legend above defines each symbol and explains its purpose.
LPV represents a family of hydrostatic pumps for low to medium power applications with maximum pressures up to 345 bar [5000 psi]. These pumps can be applied with other products in a system to transfer and control hydraulic power.
LPV pumps provide an infinitely variable speed range between zero and maximum in both forward and reverse modes of operation. LPV pumps come in three displacements (25 cm3 [1.53 in3], 30 cm3 [1.83 in3], and 35 cm3 [2.32 in3]).
LPV pumps are compact, high power density units. All models use the parallel axial piston / slipper concept in conjunction with a tiltable swashplate to vary the pump’s displacement. Reversing the angle of the swashplate reverses the flow of fluid from the pump, reversing the direction of rotation of the motor output.
LPV pumps are provided with an internal neutral return mechanism for ease of installation, and are available with optional loop flushing for circuit flexibility. LPV pumps are designed to receive charge flow from an auxiliary circuit or from a gear pump mounted on the auxiliary mounting pad. LPV pumps feature an SAE A auxiliary mounting pad to accept auxiliary hydraulic pumps for use in complementary hydraulic systems.
LPV pumps include a trunnion style direct displacement control.

LPV pumps are equipped with a combination high pressure relief and charge check valve. The highpressure 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.
HPRV valve
P106 273E
The LPV contains a dedicated bypass valve. The bypass function is activated when the bypass valve is mechanically backed out 3 full turns (maximum). The bypass function allows a machine or load to be moved without rotating the pump shaft or prime mover.
Bypass valve
P106 286E
C Caution
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. Damage to drive motor(s) is possible. When the bypass function is no longer needed care should be taken to reseat the bypass valves to the normal operating position.

Operation
An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. Charge pressure is supplied to maintain a minimum pressure in the low side of the transmission loop.
CPRV valve
Case pressure
Charge pressure
P106 274E
Minimum charge pressure is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe working condition in the low side of the loop.
Maximum charge pressure is the highest charge pressure allowed by the charge relief adjustment, and which provides normal component life. The charge pressure setting listed in the order code is the set pressure of the charge relief valve with the pump in neutral, operating with 5 gpm of charge flow. The charge pressure setting is referenced to case pressure. Charge pressure is the differential pressure above case pressure.
LPV pumps incorporate an optional integral loop flushing valve, which removes heat and contaminants from the main loop at an increased rate.
