Introduction

Overview

Warranty

This manual includes information for the installation, maintenance, and minor repair of Series 90 axial piston closed circuit pumps. It includes a description of the unit and its individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor repair procedures.
Performing minor repairs requires you remove the unit 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 (GSPs) is available for major repairs. Danfoss trains GSPs and certifies their facilities on a regular basis. You can locate your nearest ASC using the distributor locator at www.DanfossPower Solutions.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 or side cover voids the warranty unless done by a Danfoss Authorized Service Center.

General instructions

Follow these general procedures when repairing this product.

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.

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
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.

Introduction

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.

Design

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.
Danfoss Series 90 closed circuit piston pumps convert input torque into hydraulic power. The input shaft transmits rotational force to the cylinder block. Bearings support the input shaft at the front and rear of the pump. The shaft is splined into the cylinder block. A lip-seal at the front end of the pump prevents leakage where the shaft exits the pump housing. The spinning cylinder block contains nine reciprocating pistons. A ball joint at one end connects each piston to a brass slipper. Fixed-clearance hold-down brackets keep the slippers in contact with the swashplate. The reciprocating movement of the pistons occurs as the slippers slide against the inclined swashplate during rotation. The valve plate connects one half of the cylinder block to low pressure and the other half to high pressure. As each piston cycles in and out of its bore, fluid is drawn from the inlet and displaced to the outlet thereby imparting hydraulic power into the system. A small amount of fluid flows from the cylinder block/valve plate and slipper/ swashplate interfaces for lubrication and cooling. Case drain ports return this fluid to the reservoir.
The angle of the swashplate controls the volume of fluid displaced into the system. The servo piston forces the swashplate into an inclined position. The pump control, acting on input from the operator, by modulating pressure balance across the servo piston, sets displacement in the system circuit.

The system circuit

The basic closed circuit

Hydraulic lines connect the main ports of the pump to the main ports of the motor. Fluid flows in either direction from the pump to the motor then back to the pump in this closed circuit. Either of the hydraulic lines can be under high pressure. In pumping mode the position of the pump swashplate determines which line is high pressure as well as the direction of fluid flow.

Case drain and heat exchanger

The pump and motor require case drain lines to remove hot fluid from the system. The topmost port drains the motor to ensure the case remains full of fluid. Fluid routes through the lower drain port on the pump and out the topmost port to the reservoir. A heat exchanger, with a bypass valve, cools the case drain fluid before it returns to the reservoir.

Operation

S90 charge pump operation

The charge pump is necessary to supply cool fluid to the system, to maintain positive pressure in the main system loop, to provide pressure to operate the control system, and to make up for internal leakage. Charge pressure must be at its specified pressure under all conditions to prevent damage to the transmission.
The charge pump is a fixed-displacement, gerotor type pump driven off the main pump shaft. The charge relief valve limits charge pressure.
Pump charge system

S90 charge relief valve operation

S90 multi-function valve operation

The charge relief valve on the pump maintains charge pressure at a designated level. A direct-acting poppet valve relieves fluid when charge pressure reaches a certain level. This level is nominally set referencing case pressure at 1500 rpm. This nominal setting assumes the pump is in neutral (zero flow). In forward or reverse, charge pressure is lower. The pump model code specifies the charge relief valve setting.
Charge pressure relief valve
The multi-function valve incorporates the system check valve, the pressure limiter valve, the high pressure relief valve, and the bypass valve in a replaceable cartridge. These functions are described separately. There are two multi-function valve cartridges in each Series 90 pump to handle functions in either direction. See corresponding sections for adjustments and repairs.

S90 pressure limiter/high pressure relief valve operation

Series 90 pumps have a sequenced pressure limiting system and high pressure relief valves. When the system pressure reaches the preset, the pressure limiter system rapidly de-strokes the pump to limit system pressure. For unusually rapid load application, the high pressure relief valve immediately limits system pressure by cross-porting system flow. The pressure limiter valve acts as the pilot for the high pressure relief valve spool. The high pressure relief valve is sequenced to operate at approximately 35 bar (500 psi) above the level that initiates the pressure limiter valve.
Circuit diagram showing pressure control mechanism
For some applications, such as dual path vehicles, the pressure limiter function may be defeated so that only the high pressure relief valve function remains.

S90 system check valve operation

The system check valves allow pressurized flow from the charge pump to enter the low pressure side of the loop. This is needed as the pump generally loses system pressure due to lubrication/cooling flow and other factors. Since the pump operates in either direction, the system uses two check valves to direct the charge supply into the low pressure lines. The system check valves are part of the multi-function valve assembly.

S90 bypass valves operation

You can operate the bypass valves to move the vehicle or mechanical function when the pump is not

S90 speed sensor operation

S90 filtration options

An optional speed sensor can provide unit speed information. The sensor reads a magnetic ring on the unit’s cylinder block. See the corresponding section to locate, install, and adjust the speed sensor.
Series 90 pumps may have either suction or charge pressure filtration to filter the fluid entering the circuit.
The suction filter is in the circuit between the reservoir and the inlet to the charge pump, as shown below. The use of a filter contamination monitor is recommended.

The suction filter is in the circuit between the reservoir and the inlet to the charge pump, as shown above. The use of a filter contamination monitor is recommended.
S90 charge pressure filtration operation
Filtration options R, T, P, and L are pressure filters mounted on the pump or remotely for ease of servicing. You will typically find a 100-125 µm mesh screen, in the reservoir or the charge inlet. This system requires
a filter capable of withstanding charge pressure (reference to atmosphere - add case pressure).
Charge pressure filtration

S90 pressure override (POR) operation

The pressure override valve is only available for the 180cc frame size only. The Pressure OverRide valve (POR) modulates control pressure to maintain a pump displacement which
produces a system pressure level less than or equal to the POR setting. For unusually rapid load

application, the high pressure relief valve function of the multi-function valves is available to also limit the pressure level.
The pressure override consists of a three-way normally open valve which operates in series with the pump displacement control. Control supply pressure normally ports through the POR valve to the

displacement control valve. If the system demands a pressure above the override setting, the POR valve overrides the control by reducing the pressure to the displacement control. As the control pressure reduces, the internal forces rotating the swashplate overcome the force of the servo pistons and decreases the pump’s displacement.
POR-Valve (180 frame size only)

S90 MDC operation

The manual displacement control converts a mechanical input signal to a hydraulic signal using a spring centered four-way servo valve. This valve ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a dual-acting servo piston. The servo piston rotates the cradle swashplate through an angular rotation of ±17°, varying the pump’s displacement from full in one direction to full in the opposite direction. The angular position of the pump swashplate is proportional to the rotation of the control input shaft.

S90 non-linear MDC operation

The non-linear manual displacement control operates in the same manner except that it is designed so the change in the angular position of the pump swashplate progressively increases as the control input shaft is rotated toward its maximum displacement position.

S90 MDC solenoid override valve operation

A solenoid override valve option is available for the MDC. This safety feature returns the swashplate to zero displacement. It is available in normally open (activate to allow) or normally closed (activate to disallow) options.

Neutral start switch (NSS) for MDC

The neutral start switch is an optional feature available with the MDC. When connected properly with the vehicle’s electrical system, the neutral start switch ensures that the prime mover can start only when the control is in neutral position.

S90 HDC operation

14 | © Danfoss | February 2020 AX152886483063en-000203
The hydraulic displacement control uses a hydraulic input signal to operate a spring-centered four-way servo valve. This valve ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a dual-acting servo piston. The servo piston rotates the cradle swashplate through an angular rotation of ±17°, thus varying the pump’s displacement from full displacement in one direction to full displacement in the opposite direction. The angular position of the pump swashplate is proportional to input pressure.

Service Manual
Series 90 Pumps
Operation

S90 EDC operation

The electric displacement control uses a Pressure Control Pilot (PCP) valve to modulate pressure balance across the spring-centered four-way servo valve. The PCP valve converts a DC electrical input signal to a hydraulic signal. The servo valve ports hydraulic pressure to either side of a dual-acting servo piston. The servo piston rotates the swashplate through an angular rotation of ±17°, varying the pump’s displacement. The angular position of the swashplate is proportional to the EDC input.

S90 Automotive control (FBA II B) operation

The automotive control allows the operator to drive a vehicle similar to an automobile with an automatic transmission. The automotive control includes a three-position electric control to provide direction control.

S90 3-Position (FNR) electric control operation

This control utilizes a 12 or 24 Vdc electrically operated spool valve to port pressure to either side of the pump servo piston. Energizing one of the solenoids causes the pump to go to its maximum displacement in the corresponding direction. All functions of the three-position (FNR) electric control are preset at the factory

High Current Electrical Displacement Control (HCEDC)

HCEDC Principle

An HCEDC 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 High Current Electrical Displacement Control (HCEDC) 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.

Operation
HCEDC schematic
A serviceable 125 μm screen is located in the supply line immediately before the control porting spool.

HCEDC Operation

S90 HCEDC’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.
The HCEDC incorporates a positive neutral deadband as a result of the control spool porting, pre-loads 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.

Manual OverRide (MOR)

The neutral position of the control spool does provide a positive pre-load 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 spring­loaded servo piston will automatically return the pump to the neutral position.
All high current controls are standard with Manual Over Ride (MOR), used for temporary actuation of the control to aid in diagnostics.
Unintended MOR operation will cause the pump to go into stroke. The vehicle or device must always be in a safe condition (i.e. vehicle lifted off the ground) when using the MOR function. 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. The MOR should be engaged anticipating a full stroke response from the pump.
Warning
An O-ring seal is used to seal the MOR plunger where initial actuation of the function will require a force of 45 N to engage the plunger. Additional actuations typically require less force to engage the MOR plunger. Proportional control of the pump using the MOR should not be expected.
Refer to the control flow table for the relationship of solenoid to direction of flow.

Operating parameters

S90 Input speed

There are three acceptable input speeds that the S90 pump should operate in. The input speeds are Minimum speed, Continuous speed and Maximum speed.
Minimum speed is the lowest input speed recommended during engine idle condition. Operating below minimum speed limits the pump’s ability to maintain adequate flow for lubrication and power transmission.
Continuous 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.
When determining speed limits for a particular application see Danfoss publication BLN-9884 Pressure and speed limits.
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.

S90 system pressure

S90 charge 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.
Continuous pressure is the average, regularly occurring operating pressure. Operating at or below this pressure should yield satisfactory product life.
Maximum pressure is the highest intermittent pressure allowed. Maximum machine load should never exceed this pressure. For all applications, the load should move below this pressure.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure. Subtract low loop pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
System pressure must remain at or below continuous pressure during normal operation to achieve expected life.
An internal charge relief valve regulates charge pressure. The charge pump supplies the control with pressure to operate the swashplate and to maintain a minimum pressure in the low side of the transmission loop.
Minimum charge pressure is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe working condition in the low side of the loop. Minimum control pressure requirements are a function of speed, pressure, and swashplate angle, and may be higher than the minimum charge pressure shown in the operating parameters table.
Maximum charge pressure is the highest charge pressure allowed by the charge relief adjustment, and provides normal component life. You can use elevated charge pressure as a secondary means to reduce the swashplate response time.
The charge pressure setting 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/sec (150 SUS). The charge pressure setting is referenced to case pressure. Charge pressure is the differential pressure above case pressure.

Operating parameters

S90 charge inlet pressure

Case pressure

Temperature and viscosity

At normal operating temperature charge inlet pressure must not fall below rated charge inlet pressure. Minimum charge inlet pressure is only allowed at cold start conditions. In some applications it may be
necessary to warm up the fluid by running the engine at limited speed until the system fluid temperature reaches an acceptable level.
Under normal operating conditions, do not exceed the rated case pressure. During cold start, maintain the case pressure below maximum intermittent case pressure.
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 loop, which is normally the motor case drain. Maintain system temperature below the quoted rated temperature.
Never exceed the maximum intermittent temperature. Cold oil will generally 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. Test heat exchangers to verify that these temperature limits are not exceeded.
Viscosity
For maximum efficiency and bearing life, ensure the fluid viscosity remains in the recommended range. Minimum viscosity should be encountered only during brief occasions of maximum ambient temperature
and severe duty cycle operation. Maximum viscosity should be encountered only at cold start.

Fluid and filter recommendations

To ensure optimum pump life, perform regular maintenance of the fluid and filter. Contaminated fluid is the main cause of unit failure. Maintain fluid cleanliness when servicing.
Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water, and rancid fluid odor. Fluid contaminated by water may appear cloudy or milky or free water may settle in the bottom of the reservoir. Rancid odor indicates the fluid has been exposed to excessive heat. Change the fluid immediately if these conditions occur. Correct the problem immediately.
Inspect vehicle for leaks daily. Change the fluid and filter per the vehicle/machine manufacturer’s recommendations or at the intervals
shown in the table. Change fluid after first 500 hours.

Caution
High temperatures and pressures result in accelerated fluid aging. Change fluid more frequently if operating under extreme conditions.
Change the fluid more frequently if it becomes contaminated with foreign matter (dirt, water, grease, etc.) or if the fluid is subjected to temperature levels greater than the recommended maximum.
Dispose of used hydraulic fluid properly. Never reuse hydraulic fluid.
Change filters whenever the fluid is changed or when the filter indicator indicates a filter change. Replace all fluid lost during filter change.

Initial start-up procedure

General

Start-up procedure

Follow this procedure when starting-up a new pump installation or when restarting an installation in which the pump was removed.
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 shipping damage.
1. Ensure that the hydraulic fluid and system components (reservoir, hoses, valves, fittings, and heat
exchanger) are clean and free of contamination.
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 M
4. Fill the housing by adding filtered fluid in the upper case drain port. Open the case plug in the top of
the control to assist with 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.
6. Disconnect the pump control input signal.
After start-up the fluid level in the reservoir may drop due to filling of the system components. Check the level in the reservoir to maintain a full fluid level throughout the start-up procedure.
Caution
Damage to hydraulic components may occur from failure to maintain fluid supply.
7. Use a common method to disable the engine to prevent the engine from starting. Crank the starter
for several seconds. Do not to exceed the engine manufacturer’s recommendation. Wait 30 seconds and then crank the engine a second time. This operation helps remove air from the system lines. Refill the reservoir to recommended full fluid level.
8. When charge pressure reaches 3.5 bar [50 psi], 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.
Caution
Air entrapment in fluid under high pressure may damage hydraulic components. Do not run at maximum pressure until system is free of air and fluid has been thoroughly filtered.
9. 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.
10. Shut off the engine. Connect the pump control signal. Start the engine, checking to be certain the
pump remains in neutral. Run the engine at normal operating speed and carefully check for forward and reverse control operation.
11. Continue to cycle between forward and reverse for at least five minutes to bleed all air and flush
system contaminants out of loop.
Normal charge pressure fluctuation may occur during forward and reverse operation.
12. Check that the reservoir is full. Remove charge pressure gauge. The pump is now ready for operation.

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 connected to the pump. If hydraulic lines are
disconnected, plug each open port with a clean plug, to ensure that dirt and contamination do not get into the pump.
3. Ensure the surrounding areas are clean and free of contaminants.
4. Inspect the system for contamination.
5. Visually inspect the hydraulic fluid for signs of system contamination, fluid discoloration, foam in the
fluid, sludge, or small metal particles.
6. If there are signs of contamination in the hydraulic fluid, replace all filters, drain and flush the
hydraulic system, and fill with the correct filtered hydraulic fluid.
7. Flush the lines before replacing the hydraulic fluid.

Adjustments

This section offers instruction on inspection and adjustment of pump components. Read through the entire related section before beginning a service activity. Refer to Pressure measurement for location of gauge ports and suggested gauge sizes.

Charge pressure relief valve adjustment

The following procedure explains how to check and adjust the charge pressure relief valve.
Warning
The following procedure may require the vehicle/machine to be disabled (wheels raised off the ground, work function disconnected, etc.) in order to prevent injury to the technician and bystanders. Take necessary safety precautions before moving the vehicle/machine.
1. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] pressure gauge in the pump charge pressure gauge port (M3). Install a 10

Adjustments
1. Install two 1000 bar (or 10 000 psi) pressure gauges in the high pressure gauge ports (M1 and M2).
Install a 50 bar (or 1000 psi) pressure gauge in the pump charge pressure gauge port (M3).
2. Start the prime mover and operate at normal speed.
3. Loosen locking nut.
4. Insert an internal hex wrench into the pressure adjusting screw.
A plastic dust plug is installed in the adjusting screw.
5. The model code shows the factory preset pressure limiter setting. It is referenced to charge pressure,
so the pressure limiter setting is the difference between the high and low pressure sides of the system loop. Activate or move the control input so that pressure increases in the high pressure side of the closed circuit to the pressure limiter pressure setting. The pressure limiter setting is reached when the pressure stops increasing and remains steady at a given pressure level (as shown on the gauges).
6. Return the pump to its neutral (zero flow) position and adjust the pressure limiter setting by rotating
the pressure adjusting screw with an internal hex wrench. Clockwise rotation of the pressure adjustment screw increases the pressure setting, and
counterclockwise rotation decreases the pressure setting. Each complete rotation of the pressure adjusting screw changes the pressure as shown in the following table.

7. To verify the actual pressure setting, actuate or move the control input so that the pump again
develops pressure in the high pressure circuit to the newly adjusted pressure limiter pressure setting: then read the high pressure gauge. Allow the pump to return to its neutral position. The pressure in the high pressure circuit should return to the charge pressure setting.
8. While holding the pressure adjusting screw stationary, tighten the pressure adjusting screw lock nut.
Torque as shown in the table.
Do not overtorque.
9. Shut down the prime mover, remove the gauges and install the gauge port plugs. Replace the plastic
dust plugs (if used).
Use the same procedure for setting the pressure limit of the other multi-function valve. Move or activate the control input signal in the opposite direction so that high pressure develops in the opposite side of the closed circuit.

Engaging the bypass function

The multi-function valve cartridges perform the bypass function. Shut down the prime mover when engaging the bypass function. Open both the bypass valves to engage the bypass function.
Caution
Damage to the pump and motor can result from rotating these components without charge flow for lubrication. Bypass valves are intended for moving a machine or vehicle for very short distances at very slow speeds. They are not tow valves.

Pressure override (POR) valve pressure adjustment (option for 180 frame size)

Pressure override valve operation is explained in the Operation section.
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.
1. Install two 1000 bar [10 000 psi] pressure gauges in the high pressure gauge ports (M1 and M2).
Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] pressure gauge in the pump charge pressure gauge port (M3).
2. Start the prime mover and operate at normal speed.
3. With the pump operating at approximately 20% displacement, load the work function and note the
pressure as the POR valve operates (pump displacement reduces to zero).
4. Adjust the pressure override setting by loosening the lock nut with a 9/16 inch hex wrench and
turning the adjustment screw with a 3/16 inch internal hex wrench. Set the POR setting to at least 50 bar [750 psi] below the high pressure relief valve setting of the multi-function valves.
5. Torque the lock nut to 43 N•m [32 lbf•ft].
6. Shut down the prime mover and remove the gauges and install the gauge port plugs.

Displacement limiter adjustment

You can limit the maximum displacement in either direction.
1. Loosen the lock nut (F212) while holding the adjusting screw (F213) steady.
2. Rotate the adjusting screw some amount (using information in the following table). Rotating the
adjusting screw clockwise decreases the maximum displacement of the pump while rotating the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases the maximum displacement.
Caution
Take care in adjusting displacement limiters to avoid undesirable flow or speed conditions. Re-torque lock nut (F212) after every adjustment to prevent an unexpected change in operating conditions and to prevent external leakage during unit operation.
3. One turn of the adjusting screw changes the maximum displacement as shown in table below
4. After establishing the desired maximum displacement setting, torque the lock nut to the torque
shown in table below.

All functions of the Hugh Current Electric Displacement Control (HCEDC) are preset at the factory. Adjust the pump to neutral with the pump running on a test stand or on the vehicle/machine with the prime mover operating. If adjustment fails to give satisfactory results, you may need to replace the control or coils. See Minor repair for details.
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.
1. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] gauge in each of the two servo gauge ports (M4 and M5). Disconnect the
external control input (electrical connections) from the control. Start the prime mover and operate at normal speed.
2. Use a 4mm internal hex wrench to hold the neutral adjusting screw (M015) stationary while loosening
the locknut (M060) with a 13mm wrench.
3. Observe pressure gauges. If necessary, turn adjusting screw (M015) to reduce any pressure
differential.
Adjustment of the HCEDC is very sensitive. Be sure to hold the hex wrench steady while loosening the locknut. Total adjustment is less than 120 degrees.

the angular position of the wrench. Then rotate the neutral adjusting screw counter clockwise until the pressure increases by an equal amount on the other gauge. Again note the angular position of the wrench.
Neutral adjustment (HCEDC) (bottom view)
Illustration shows how cam on adjusting pin rotates to adjust for neutral position after pump is re­installed.
5. Rotate the neutral adjusting screw clockwise half the distance between the wrench positions noted
above. The gauges should read the same pressure, indicating that the control is in its neutral position.
6. Hold the neutral adjusting screw stationary and tighten the lock nut (M060). Torque to 10 Nm [7
lbf•ft]. Do not over torque the nut.
7. When the neutral position is set, stop the prime mover, remove the gauges, and install the gauge
port plugs. Reconnect the external control input.
A small pressure differential of 1.5 bar [22 psi] or less is acceptable. Achieving zero differential is usually not possible.

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].
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.
4. If using neutral adjusting screw to set mechanical neutral, reset control neutral.

Servo Adjustment Side M4

1. Run prime mover at 1500 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

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.

Standard manual displacement control (MDC) adjustment

There are no adjustable elements in the manual displacement control. Centering springs and washers on each end of the control spool hold it in its neutral position. Since there is no centering spring on the control input shaft, the shaft automatically assumes the appropriate position when the control is installed on the pump.

Non-linear manual displacement control (MDC)

A centering spring, located on the control input shaft, locates the control shaft in its neutral position. A bias spring on the control spool maintains a force on the spool and the control linkage to eliminate free­play in the linkage.
Neutral adjustment is the only adjustment that can be made on the nonlinear manual displacement control. All other functions are preset at the factory. Perform neutral adjustment on a test stand or on the vehicle/machine with the prime mover operating.
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.

Disconnect the external control linkage from the control handle and make certain the control shaft is in its neutral position. Start the prime mover and operate at normal speed.
2. Loosen the lock nut (M90) on the neutral adjusting screw (M72) with a 13 mm hex wrench.
3. Using a 4 mm internal hex wrench, rotate the neutral adjusting screw clockwise until the pressure
increases on one of the pressure gauges. Note the angular position of the wrench. Then rotate the adjusting screw counterclockwise until the pressure increases by an equal amount on the other gauge. Note the angular position of the wrench.
4. Rotate the adjusting screw clockwise half the distance between the locations noted above. The
gauges should read the same pressure, indicating that the control is in its neutral position.
5. Hold the adjusting screw stationary and tighten the lock nut to 13.5 N•m [10 lbf•ft]. Do not overtorque
the nut.
6. Once the neutral position is set, stop the prime mover, remove the gauges, and install the gauge port
plugs. Reconnect the external control linkage.

MDC Neutral start switch (NSS) adjustments

The Neutral Start Switch (NSS) provides a means to prevent the system prime mover from starting while the pump control handle is in-stroke. When the control input shaft is in its neutral position, the switch pin engages a slot on the eccentric cam attached to the control shaft. This allows the spring loaded NSS to close, completing the electrical starting circuit for the prime mover. When the control input shaft is not in its neutral position, the eccentric cam opens the NSS switch.
The neutral start switch is threaded into the special lock nut for the eccentric plug. Turning the NSS clockwise (CW) moves the NSS closer to the switch cam on the control shaft, and narrows the NSS deadband. Turning the NSS counterclockwise (CCW) moves the NSS farther from the switch cam on the control shaft, widening the NSS deadband. The switch pin is located in an eccentric plug which is turned to move the center of the NSS deadband.

Since you cannot adjust the position of the control deadband, you must adjust the position of the NSS deadband to match it.
2. The NSS deadband must be wide enough so the NSS will not open within the loose area of control
handle movement caused by normal operating clearances in the control linkage (control shaft free­play).
By setting the NSS to open outside this area, the control spool springs or control shaft centering spring can always return the handle to neutral and re-close the NSS.
3. The NSS deadband must be narrow enough so the NSS will open before the unit builds 7 bar [100 psi]
differential system pressure in either direction.

1. Hold the switch and eccentric plug from turning and use a 11/8 inch wrench to loosen the lock nut.
Remove the neutral start switch.
Warning
Do not start the prime mover while the neutral start switch is removed from the control. Case pressure will force the pin out of the eccentric plug, causing oil loss.
2. Note the slots on the eccentric plug for the adjustment tool. Hold the eccentric plug in place with the
adjustment tool, and loosen the lock nut with a 1-1/8 inch wrench.
3. Position the eccentric plug so the switch pin is offset toward the control mounting surface. This will
provide the best contact between the pin and the cam on the control shaft.
4. Hold the control shaft in its neutral position (in the center of the control shaft free-play area). Locate
the switch pin in the slot of the switch cam by turning the eccentric plug while checking the pin position (depth) in the plug. When the pin engages the cam slot, the pin will be at its maximum depth in the plug. Hand tighten the plug lock nut to hold the eccentric plug in position.
5. Turn the control shaft an equal amount in either direction from neutral. The switch pin should move
out of the eccentric plug an equal distance when the control shaft is turned. Turn the eccentric plug to center the switch pin with the cam slot. Only a small amount of adjustment in either direction is needed to center the pin.
6. While holding the eccentric plug in place, tighten the eccentric plug lock nut to 27 N•m [20 lbf•ft].
Reinstall and adjust the switch as outlined in the previous section.
The eccentric plug normally requires between 5-1/2 and 6-1/2 turns to install into the control housing.

NSS deadband adjustment (conditions ii & iii)
The NSS deadband must be wide enough so the NSS will not open within the control shaft free-play area, and it must be narrow enough so the NSS will open before the unit builds 7 bar (100 psi) differential system pressure in either direction.
1. Install two 1000 bar [10 000 psi] pressure gauges in the system pressure gauge ports M1 and M2.
2. Using two 1-1/8 inch wrenches, hold the neutral start switch from turning and loosen the lock nut.
3. Disconnect the external control linkage and make certain the control shaft is in its neutral position.
4. Attach a continuity checker to the terminals of the switch. With the control shaft in its neutral
position, turn the switch clockwise (CW) until the switch opens, then turn the switch counterclockwise (CCW) until it closes. Turn the switch counterclockwise (CCW) an additional 1/4 turn (90°) after the switch closes.
5. Hold the switch in place and tighten the lock nut to 27 N•m (20 lbf•ft) torque.
6. With the continuity checker attached to the switch, rotate the control handle (or the control shaft) in
each direction to assure the switch opens when the control is not in the neutral position.
7. If the switch closes in neutral and satisfactorily opens in each direction, proceed to check the switch
with the prime mover running. The switch must open before the unit builds 7 bar [100 psi] differential system pressure in either direction.
If the switch opens after the unit builds system pressure in either direction, loosen the switch lock nut and turn the switch clockwise (CW) 1/12 turn (30°). Tighten the switch lock nut and recheck the switch operation. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
8. If the switch does not open with an equal movement of the control handle in each direction, turn off
prime mover, remove the pressure gauges, and continue with the next section.
9. If neutral start switch operation is satisfactory, turn off the prime mover, remove the pressure gauges,
and reconnect the external control linkage.

Checking switch continuity

Hydraulic displacement control (HDC) and electric displacement control (EDC) adjustment

1. Install a 50 bar [1000 psi] gauge in each of the two servo cylinder gauge ports (M4 and M5). Attach a
continuity checker to the terminals of the neutral start switch.
2. Energize the starter circuit, and start the prime mover.
3. While operating at normal speed and with the pump in its neutral (zero flow) position, note the
pressure reading on the gauges. Note this reading as the base pressure.
4. Slowly move the control handle in one direction while observing the pressure gauges and the
continuity checker. The switch must open before the pressure on either gauge increases more than 1 bar [15 psi] from the base pressure obtained at neutral.
5. Slowly move the control handle in the opposite direction. Again, The switch must open before the
gauge pressure increases more than 1 bar [14.5 psi] from base pressure.
6. Verify continuity again when the control is returned to neutral.
7. If the switch does not open at base pressure plus 0 to 1 bar [0 to 14.5 psi] in either direction, stop the
prime mover and readjust the eccentric plug as described in the previous section. If the pressure difference is equal in each direction but greater than 1 bar [14.5 psi], loosen the switch lock nut and turn the switch clockwise 1/12 turn (30°) to increase the sensitivity. Retighten the lock nut and recheck pressure differences and continuity.
8. After verifying proper control and switch operation, stop the prime mover. Remove the continuity
checker and pressure gauges. Reinstall the servo pressure port plugs and reconnect the electrical leads from the machine starter circuit to the NSS. Install and adjust, the external control linkage if necessary.
The neutral adjustment is the only adjustment that can be made on hydraulic and electric displacement controls. All other functions are preset at the factory.

Shaft removal
1. Position the pump with the shaft facing up.
If the unit is positioned horizontally, or moved or jarred while the shaft is out, the cylinder block could move out of place, making shaft installation difficult.
2. Remove the three or four screws (L70) holding the retainer plate (L60) and seal carrier (L30) to the
housing, using a 10 mm hex wrench (042 unit), a 5 mm internal hex wrench (055 through 100 units), or a 6 mm internal hex wrench (130 through 250 units). Remove the retainer plate.
Certain earlier production units use a one piece retainer plate and seal carrier.
3. After removing the screws, the spring force on the shaft may move the seal carrier out of its bore by
approximately 5 mm [1/4 inch]. If the seal carrier does not move from its bore, pry it from its bore and/or lightly tap the end of the shaft with a soft mallet.
4. Remove the O-ring (L50) from the seal carrier and discard.
5. Place seal carrier and seal in an arbor press and press out the seal (L40).
6. Remove shaft (L100) and roller bearing assembly (L10) from pump. You can transfer the bearing
assembly to the new shaft.
7. Using snap-ring pliers, remove the retaining ring (L20) that secures the roller bearing assembly.

5. Remove the charge pump gerotor assembly (H05).
6. Remove the alignment pin (H40).
7. Remove the inner port plate (H31).
Inspection
Inspect all parts for abnormal wear or damage and replace if necessary.
If installing a different displacement charge pump, the gerotor assembly, gerotor outer eccentric ring, and inner port plate (early and late production pumps) or outer spacer plate(s) (intermediate production pumps) must be replaced together. If different thickness port plates are used in an early production charge pump assembly, the thicker plate is the inner port plate (installed next to the pump end cap).
Different production charge pump assemblies include a different quantity / type of port plates and spacer plates.
Reassembly
Be sure to install the charge pump in the proper orientation. If unsure of charge pump rotation, refer to the model code.
The orientation of the gerotor assembly outer eccentric ring and the location of the alignment pin in the end cap determine the charge pump rotation..
Do not mix charge pump parts from different production periods. Always install as a complete assembly.
Orienting alignment pin
1. Install the inner port plate (H31) and the gerotor assembly outer ring.
2. Install the alignment pin (H40) to properly orient the port plates and outer eccentric ring for
corresponding pump rotation.
3. Prior to installation, lubricate the I.D., O.D., and side faces of the gerotor assembly.
4. Install the gerotor assembly (H05).
5. Install the outer port plate (early production and intermediate production pumps only).
6. Install the spacer plate, if present (intermediate production pumps).
7. Install the charge pump drive key (H60) into the charge pump coupling (H50) and retain with
petroleum jelly.
Intermediate production 75 cm³ and 100 cm³ pumps use the same charge pump coupling. Two keyways are provided in the coupling for the charge pumps used in these units. The rear keyway (with identifier groove) is used in 75 cm³ pumps. The front keyway (closest to the internally splined end of the shaft) is used in 100 cm³ pumps.

8. Install the charge pump coupling. The internally splined end of the coupling must engage the main
pump shaft.
The outside diameter of the internally splined end of some early production charge pump couplings were chamfered. Early production end caps may not be machined to accept a non-chamfered coupling. Always use a chamfered charge pump coupling in pumps with the early endcap.
9. For pumps with an auxiliary mounting pad, install the auxiliary drive coupling.
10. For pumps with no auxiliary pad, install a new O-ring (J40) onto charge pump cover. (If an auxiliary
pad is installed, an O-ring is not used on the cover.)
11. Carefully remove the alignment pin from the charge pump parts. Install the pin in its hole in the
charge pump cover (J15) (see previous page for correct orientation) and retain with petroleum jelly. Install the cover (with alignment pin) into the end cap and aligned charge pump parts. (Take care not to damage the cover O-ring, if used.)
Caution
In order to avoid loss of charge pressure in pumps with an auxiliary mounting pad, always install the charge pump cover with the pad drain hole located on the same side of the end cap as the charge inlet port. Refer to the section “Auxiliary Pad Installation” for details.
12. Install the charge pump cover retainer (H70) and the six internal hex screws (H80). Torque the screws
per the table at the right..
