Overview
General
Auxiliary equipment require power take-offs, either when the truck is stationary or when it is in motion. Various power take-off
alternatives can be chosen, depending on the bodywork.
The work is generally carried out by equipment which is powered by a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, together with a
pump and associated equipment, form the basis of the hydraulic system. The pump, which provides the hydraulic pressure
and flow to the motor, is the heart of the hydraulic system.
All power take-offs covered by this chapter are available factory installed. Some variants can also be ordered.
It is important to design an optimum hydraulic system, and to specify the correct pump size to provide sufficient oil flow and
prevent overloading of the power take-off.
Power Take-off
There are a number of different power take-off variants available, with single or double outlets. The power take-off is supplied
with one of several output drives, keyed shaft, SAE drive flange or internal splined DIN.
Power take-offs are classified into two family variants: Clutch dependent and Clutch independent

For the purposes of this manual, PTO (Power Take–off) is a function to maintain engine speed regardless of engine load.
Think of it as cruise control for the engine - only instead of maintaining a steady vehicle speed, it is maintaining engine
speed. It is most often used to provide increased steady engine speed when operating auxiliary equipment such as hydraulic
pumps or compressors. The term "PTO" has come to mean both the function of maintaining constant engine speed during
use of auxiliary equipment, as well as a term for the auxiliary equipment itself.
There are two types of PTO engine speed control used in Mack trucks:
Electronic Hand Throttle
(EHT/PTO 0)This type of PTO is standard equipment; it is initiated and controlled using the cruise control "ON/
OFF", "SET / Decel or Resume / Accel switches. Manufacturers refer to this function by different
names - Mack calls it "Electronic Hand Throttle" (EHT), even though some of the parameters for
programming this function will refer to it as "high idle". (Note that in the North American market, the
term "high idle" usually refers to the maximum possible engine speed under no-load conditions).
"Physical" or
"Wired" PTO
How each of these different PTO functions operate will depend upon the installed engine. For Mack engines, the PTO functions are split between the Engine ECU and VECU.
This type of PTO is most commonly associated with the engagement of engine- or transmission"Wired" PTO driven accessories, where the user wishes to "remotely" activate the engine speed
control function. It is usually accomplished by wiring the auxiliary equipment to the PTO function
controller (VECU, BBM ECU, or Transmission ECU) so that engaging one will automatically activate the other.
Notes
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
PTO Control functionality, which is in the
Transmission Control Unit (TCU) in AMT-D,
has been removed in AMT-F. Therefore, this
functionality needs to be provided in the vehicle through the VECU for single PTO and
with Body Builder Module (BBM) when using
Dual PTOs.
• This is added to support dual PTOs with
the AMT-F and AMT-FX transmissions.
• MACK BBM is located on the doghouse
BIW with a mounting plate, under the plastic doghouse cover not visible to the driver.

A "PTO" icon will appear in the instrument cluster only when 'Remote' ('Wired') PTO is engaged.
Electronic Hand Throttle PTO
The VECU reads the cruise control PTO switch status, and commands the engine into PTO mode when conditions are right.
These conditions are program in the VECU and might include a maximum vehicle speed, park brake set or not, etc.
The engine PTO 'set speed' is selected by either pressing the cruise control "RESUME" button, or by using the accelerator
pedal to get the desired engine speed and pressing one of the cruise control "SET" buttons (either SET / Decel or Resume /
Accel). Once the PTO function is active, the SET / Decel or Resume / Accel buttons can be used to adjust the PTO engine
speed (within limits).
Physical or Remote/Wired PTO
This PTO function is activated by applying an external signal to a dedicated PTO input pin on the VECU. The set speed can
be adjusted using the cruise control SET / Decel or Resume / Accel buttons, as above.
The Mack VECU allows for up to 4 PTO speed controls plus the PTO (EHT) without the use of a BBM. Each PTO can be independently selected and controlled by separate speed settings as well as independent engagement and disengagement
requirements.
A sub-function of the 'wired' PTOs in the VECU is the ability to activate PTO "outputs". Traditionally, the auxiliary device
(PTO pump, bypass solenoid, etc.) is wired so as to be activated by the same switch which initiates the engine speed control
function. This means that the hardware will be engaged whenever the switch is on, even if the engine speed is not being controlled. There also is no protection against an input switch that has been accidentally activated.
With the mDrive transmission the PTO "Output Control" function of the VECU and BBM ECU, it is possible to prevent engagement of the auxiliary equipment until certain conditions are met - park brake set, engine speed within a certain range,
etc. This is accomplished by controlling the auxiliary equipment with the VECU, instead of directly from a switch. The ECUs
still read the switch input, though, and will only allow the auxiliary device to engage when conditions are right.

Clutch dependent power take-offs are designed to work when the truck is parked. Common applications are dump trucks,
mobile cranes, tank trucks, etc. They are mounted on the transmission and stop rotating when the clutch pedal is depressed.
Note: The clutch pedal must be depressed (if equipped), to engage or disengage the power take-off.

The mDrive is an automated manual transmission. When you have the PTO engaged and put the transmission into gear by
pressing the service brake and selecting D on the shift pad, the TECU commands the clutch to be released and engages the
countershaft brake. This stops the countershaft, which in turn stops the rotation of the PTO when the driver releases the
brake pedal and applies the throttle. The clutch will re-engage and the countershaft will start to rotate along the PTO.
When the driver stops the truck, the clutch will disengage if “R” is selected. The transmission will shift into reverse and when
the driver releases the service brake and depresses the throttle, the clutch will re-engage and the PTO will start to spin
again.
This is something any manual transmission would require, but the clutch would be depressed and released by the driver.
The mDrive with transmission–mounted PTO may not be the solution for the Roll Off Chassis. The REPTO (MP only) unit is
best suited for this application, where the truck is moved and uses the hydraulics at the same time. (This was possible with
an Allison Transmission).
If the driver wants to operate the PTO while driving the truck, the transmission will only be able to operate in the starting gear
that was selected. Depending on the vehicle options and starting gear selected, the maximum vehicle speed is usually
around 6 mph.

solenoids), not the outputs on the PTO.
Note: When installing an mDrive Transmission mounted PTO, contact MACK Tech Support 1–800–888–2039 to secure the
correct software for the Transmission Electrical Control Module (TECU).
32. After the TCM has been programmed with its software, it is necessary to perform the “Transmission and Clutch Calibration” using the scan tool.
33. Perform PTO parameter programming. For more information, refer to the “PTO Programming” bulletin found in the electrical section of the Body Builders Manual.
Note: It will be necessary to change the vehicle electronic control unit (VECU) default parameter for PTO position mounting
from engine1 to transmission1.
36. Run the vehicle and re-check the transmission fluid level. Top off the transmission as needed so the fluid level is between
minimum and maximum of the sight glass.
Note: The PTO shares the transmission fluid for lubrication. The PTO will retain about 0.8 qt (0.75 L), of transmission fluid
after initially being run. Always top off the transmission fluid after installing a new PTO.
Note: For PTO 2 Switch an overlay harness may be required. Contact your local MACK dealer for parts.

Rear-mounted Power Take-off Description and Operation
Description
There are two types of MACK T300/T200 series rear-mounted PTO units, direct drive and optional ratio. Both PTOs are driven by a quill shaft which engages the transmission front countershaft. Therefore, the PTO output shaft speed is fixed at the
pre-set percent of engine speed, regardless of which transmission gear is selected. Engagement and disengagement of both
PTOs is accomplished by a field-fabricated control arrangement (rod or cable) or by a MACK air-operated PTO control. In either case, engagement is by means of a sliding clutch arrangement. For both units, the vehicle must be stopped and the
clutch disengaged before the PTO can be engaged.
Direct Drive PTO
A direct drive PTO can be installed in any of the rear countershaft positions — upper left, upper right or lower center. Depending on which position the PTO unit is mounted, it affects whether the unit mounts upright or is slanted right or left. This
positioning affects draining and filling units with lubricant. Direct drive PTO draining and filling procedures will be covered in
the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
W0040845

The output speed (as a percentage of engine speed) of the direct-mounted PTO depends on which T300/T200 transmission
it is mounted on and is fixed at that percentage, regardless of which transmission gear is selected. Refer to the following
chart for PTO speed percentage of engine rpm as related to transmission.

Rear-mounted PTO in-Service Guidelines
In the past, transmission PTO applications were considered for intermittent service, which means run for several minutes
and then shut down and allowed to cool before reuse. More and more, varied applications are causing transmission PTOs to
be used continually, or for longer periods of time.
The following recommendations are for MACK rear-mounted PTO applications:
• Intermittent Service — The PTO unit is operated, under load, for only 5 minutes out of every 15 minute time period.
• Continuous Service — The PTO unit is operated, under load, for more than 5 minutes straight. Units that are operated
for more than 5 minutes in a 15 minute time period are also considered continuous service.
Rear-mounted PTO units expected to operate under the continuous service guideline, must have the torque or horsepower
ratings reduced by 30%, to prevent premature wear of the unit.
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
The optional ratio PTO for the T300/T200 series transmission is available only in the lower center position. Additionally, this
PTO is available only on the following transmission models, the T2110B, T2180A, T310ME, T313L21/T318L21, T313LR21/
T318LR21, and T31321/T31821. Only these transmissions are built with the dual-tapered roller bearing output housing
which allows space for the drive yoke to fit past the PTO unit.
This optional ratio PTO is available in three ratios, all as a percentage of engine speed and is fixed at that percentage regardless of which transmission gear is selected. Refer to the chart below for PTO speed percentage of engine rpm as related to
transmission.

Trucks used for certain applications, such as cement mixers or dump trucks, may be equipped with a rear—mounted engine
PTO (REPTO). PTOs of this type are installed on the rear of the engine, and are driven by the crankshaft. They are intended
for use when the vehicle is moving or stationary.
REPTOs have been designed to accomplish a number of performance-related objectives:
• They have eliminated unnecessary parts (e.g., additional Front-mounted PTO equipment).
• They deliver efficient, clutch independent power.
• They allow specification of a lengthened wheelbase without exceeding overall length restrictions.
Example: two trucks with the same frame length must meet the same overall length of 10 m (40 ft). The truck with a front-engine PTO requiring a hydraulic pump in front of the engine (or bumper) will limit the wheelbase approximately 46 – 53 cm (18
– 21 in) compared to the vehicle with REPTO. This results in an increase in payload under the federal Bridge Law of 545 –
680 kg (1200 – 1500 lb).
This performance is possible because REPTOs are designed as an integral bearing housing that is mounted on the right,
rear of the engine.
Note: The REPTO rotates in the same direction as the engine.
Note: The REPTO access hatch is tied to the REPTO variant. Whenever a REPTO is requested the access hatch is pro-
vided. Therefore, the customer does not need to request the hatch.
W8116059
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
• Eliminate the need for extended frame or bumper.
• Permits shorter hydraulic lines.
• Simplifies maintenance (REPTO need not be removed for clutch service)
• Eliminates need for modification to radiator and radiator supports for PTO shaft clearance.
REPTOs permit the operator to engage or disengage the PTO even when the vehicle is moving. Unlike transmissionmounted PTOs, REPTOs are dependent only on the engine.
Rear Engine-mounted PTO with Flange SAE 1410/ ISO 7647
Option T1-A1 is a clutch independent, rear-mounted, engine power take-off with a SAE1300/1400 flange connection for shaft
driven accessories. The power take-off consists of a bearing housing that is mounted on the right rear side of the engine gear
train. It is suited to types of transport in which the power take-off must be clutch independent. This means that the power is
taken directly from the engine. The power take-off can operate both when the vehicle is in motion and when it is stationary,
resulting in high vehicle productivity.

2 The engagement of the hydraulic pump must not give any pressure peaks exceeding the rated pressure.
Note: Low stiffness of the prop shaft and big inertia on the pump will give low resonance frequency, which can be triggered
by the frequency in the engine.
The engagement time has to be so long that no pressure peaks will occur, and the best way to verify this is to measure the
pressure close to the pump.
Resonance Frequency
CAUTION
The minimum torsional resonance frequency is 300 Hz for the system propeller shaft to PTO pump. Failure to not follow
this may cause severe engine component damage.

Resonance frequency (f) for a propeller shaft driven PTO is calculated as:
f = resonance frequency (Hz)
k = stiffness of prop shaft and coupling(s) (Nm/rad)
J = hydraulic pump and coupling mass moment of inertia (kgm2)
Example:
k = 2,8 x 105 Nm/rad

Rear Engine-mounted PTO with Splined Shaft Groove (Female) DIN 5462
The PTO consists of a bearing housing that is mounted on the right rear side of the engine gear train. It is suited to types of
transport in which the power take-off must be clutch independent. This means that the power is taken directly from the engine, and the engagement/disengagement can be done while the vehicle is being driven. It can also operate both when the
vehicle is in motion or stationary. The PTO has few moving parts high performance and is especially suited to MACK's engines for high availability.

mounting locations at both the 1 o’clock and 8 o’clock positions (when viewed from the back of the transmission as seen in
figure below).
On conventional models, mounting a PTO unit in the 1 o’clock position places the unit only inches below the cab floor. Due to
the proximity of the PTO unit to the cab floor, any noise generated by the PTO will be easily heard inside the cab. While vehicle occupant(s) may find this noise objectionable, there has been no identified degradation of performance or durability with
this transmission/PTO mounting arrangement. Since most PTO systems are installed by body builders or aftermarket suppliers, Mack Trucks, Inc. cannot restrict or control installation of these systems. Because of this, Mack Trucks, Inc. will not address any noise-related issues associated with this type of transmission/PTO arrangement.
If interior cab noise is a concern, it is strongly recommended that the rear engine-mounted PTO (REPTO) be used on any Allison automatic transmission-equipped conventional models which require a PTO. The SAE flange-type REPTO allows the
use of a driveshaft to power a remote-mounted, electric clutch-type hydraulic pump/valve system. This type of system allows
the same ON/OFF functionality as a transmission-mounted electric clutch-type PTO. Depending upon specific needs or customer preferences, the REPTO option should be used in lieu of a transmission-mounted PTO for conventional models
equipped with an Allison automatic transmission.

There are two types of connections for hydraulic pumps:
• Din Drive pumps
• Flange mounted
Din Drive Pumps
Plugged-in pumps are connected directly to the power fake-off via a splined shaft. Connection is done according to

Hydraulic System and Pumps
Dimensioning of Hydraulic System and Hydraulic Pumps
Note: The body builder should enclose an information binder, delivered with the truck, including hydraulic system data
(system dimensioning description and dimensioning criteria).
Service, function and safety descriptions should also be enclosed.
It is important to dimension an optimum hydraulic system, and to specify the correct pump size to provide sufficient oil flow
and prevent overloading of the power take-off.
Pipes, Lines, and Hoses
DANGER
Hoses and pipes should not be routed too near the warm points in the truck. Avoid crossed pipes which could cause chafing. Failure to follow this guide line increases the risk of fire if leakage occurs, and allows undue heat transfer to the hydraulic oil.
Connected to the hydraulic pump are a high-pressure hose, suction and drain lines.
When dimensioning the hydraulic system, it is important that:
• Hoses and lines must be connected to the pump with unions. O-ring seals must be used between pump and union.
• Tapered fittings should be avoided.
• Teflon tape or similar must not be used since pieces can break off and get into the hydraulic system and eventually cause
damage.
• If steel piping is used, it must be installed so that movements and vibrations do not cause leakage. Normally hoses must
be used nearest the pump.
• Oxide scale must be removed from pipes which have been heat-bent or welded. Flush or blow the pipes clean before in-
stalling them.
Notes
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
These hoses must have a minimum of four steel wire coil inserts in order to withstand the high pressure in the hydraulic
system.
When mounting a high-pressure hose:
• Make sure the hoses are not twisted when connected up.
• Make sure the hoses are long enough.
• Strive to get as few bends as possible on a hose.
• Avoid kinks by using correct unions. Only pressed unions may be used when replacing hose unions.
Note: Check for oil leakage and for high noise levels in the system when the truck is in motion.
Suction Line
The suction line is made of piping or armored hose which retains its shape even when there is vacuum in the line.
To avoid cavitation:
• The suction line should be as short as possible and should not exceed 4 meters (13.12 ft.). In the event longer lines are
required, larger line dimensions must be used.
• The suction line should connect to the bottom of the tank and must be correctly tightened to prevent air getting into the oil.
• The suction line must have a wide diameter and must be free from kinks and constrictions. Do not use reducer fittings with
restrictions.
Note: Avoid suction lines of high-pressure hooks and hooks made locally from pipe pieces welded together. They could
cause unnecessary suction resistance.
Suitable suction line sizes at different flow quantities and with a flow speed of less than 0,8 m/s:
Inner diameter Ø mm (inches)
50 (2.0)0–120 (0–32)
64 (2.5)101–150 (27–40)
75 (3.0)> 150 (40)
Flow up to liter/minute (gallons/minute)
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
If the hydraulic pump is installed to a constantly running PTO (i.e. — engine PTO), it is provided with a bypass valve.
The bypass valve reduces the oil flow through the pump to obtain proper lubrication, low heat generation and to avoid
cavitation.
Fixed Displacement Pump
HPE-FXX (F1 single flow)
In order to prevent heat build-up in the pump during transportation, it is important that at least 5 liter/minute (1.32 gallons/minute) comes out of the filter at “q” (refer to the schematic below). This applies to an “open center” system when the valve is in
the bypass mode (non-activated solenoid).
Note: If the flow at “q” is less than 5 liter/minute (5.28 quarts/minute) (caused e.g. by a high pressure drop in the main system) when the valve is in the bypass mode or if the hydraulic system is of the “closed center” type, then an external drain line
must be installed from the bypass valve drain port directly to the hydraulic tank.
HPE-TXX (F2 twin flow)
In order to secure a cooling flow through the system, a separate drain line is already connected to the bypass valve from factory and the other end of the hose is temporary plugged. At final assembly the hose should be connected to the hydraulic
tank, entering below oil level (preferable to the filter housing on the oil tank).
Bypass Valve
For the fixed displacement hydraulic pumps the bypass valve is attached directly on top of the end cap of the hydraulic pump.
It is electrical operated and the valve function must only be activated or released at no-load (below 20 bar) system pressure.
For F2- twin flow hydraulic pump it can be used when, temporarily, one of the two circuits is not required; the power loss is
thus reduced as the non-required flow is not forced through lines and “open center” valves.

At final assembly, since the control valve on the hydraulic pump is not internally drained, there must be an external drain line
installed between port “T” and the hydraulic tank.
Bypass Valve
For variable displacement pump the bypass is, from factory, attached to the temporary oil reservoir and connected to the hydraulic pump via a hose to the port for gauge outlet, (on VP1-45 and VP1-75 port beside suction port and on the VP1-120
port “M”on the control valve).
The valve, which requires no additional control valve, allows the pump to operate on- or off-load up to its maximum self–priming speed.
When a load sensing valve function is engaged, the bypass flow is cut off (as port 'X' is being pressurized).

The tank must be large enough to avoid cavitation and overheating. A suitable volume is 1,5 times the nominal pump flow
per minute.
The tank includes:
1 Air filter, fitted (as required) in a tube and provided with a non-return valve
2 Level gauge
3 Suction connector equipped with full-flow tap
4 Angled, perforated plate on which air bubbles accumulate and rise to the surface
5 Return oil filter
T9008314
Illustration is for reference only. May differ on specific vehicle.
When installing a hydraulic tank:
• The volume of the hydraulic tank must be dimensioned 1,5 times the nominal pump flow during normal working
conditions.
• Make sure that the placing of the hydraulic tank does not limit the performance of the hydraulic pump.
For example: The suction fitting must not be placed below the inlet of the return pipe.
• It is important that the deaeration surface is big enough. Prevent external dust and dirt from entering the hydraulic system.
The inside of the tank must be well cleaned. To prevent dust getting into the system, the air filter should have the same filtration degree as the return oil filter.
• Oil is topped-up through the return oil filter, preferably via a rapid joint on the return line where the oil can be pumped in.
• Check oil level and ensure that it is oil of recommended type and viscosity.
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
Note: The filter must be replaced at least once a year.
A return oil filter should be installed in the tank or in the return line. The filter should be dimensioned for a capacity which is
approximately twice that of the pump flow.
Recommended filtration level:
• A 28 micron filter should be used with lower pressures of 0–200 bar (0–2900 psi).
• A 10 micron filter should be used with higher pressures of 200–300 bar (2900–4351 psi).
Check return pipe and filter condition and check for oil leakage.
Hydraulic Oil
Note: Do not mix oils of different quality.
Hydraulic fluids type HLP (DIN51524), automatic transmission fluid (ATF) Dextron II and engine oil type API/CD can be
used.
Recommended viscosity:
• 20-30 mm²/s (.78–1.18 inches²/s) (cSt) .
Starting Up
CAUTION
Make sure the suction connector always is below the minimum level of the hydraulic oil. Failure to do so may result in component damage.
Make sure the entire hydraulic system is clean before filling it with a recommended fluid. In particular the pump, which must
be purged to remove any entrapped air in the pump housing (use the uppermost purge port). Failure to do so may result in
component damage.
Notes
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
The following information is required to dimension the hydraulic system:
• Oil flow Q=l/min (Quarts/min.), to the equipment
• Oil pressure p=bar (psi), to do the work intended
• Permissible torque or power taken from the engine
• Permissible pump speed
• PTO Gear ratio
Engine Speed
Engine speed limit for engine mounted hydraulic pumps
Vehicles specified with engine mounted hydraulic pumps will always have a maximum engine speed (rpm) pre set from
factory.
Depending of pump size and if the vehicle is equipped with BBM (Body Builder Module) or not, the setting is between 1700–
2100 rpm.
This has been done by using data parameters in the vehicle control unit, and when the hydraulic pump is in service, the maximum engine speed cannot be overridden by pressing the throttle.
If the hydraulic system is designed in such way that the self-suction speed of the hydraulic pump is reduced, then the limited
value should be modified using Premium tech tool.
Engine Speed Control
Check that the permissible speed, specified by the pump manufacturer on the pump, is not exceeded.
Pump speed per minute n is governed by engine speed ne and power take-off gear ratio Z:
n = Pump speed (rpm)
ne = Engine speed (rpm)
Z = Power take-off gear ratio
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
The maximum (self-suction) speeds given in the catalogue apply at 1.0 bar (14.5 psi) (abs.) intake pressure.
To achieve correct pump speed the following is required:
• Oil level approx. 0.5 m above pump inlet
• Correctly dimensioned suction pipe
• Original suction nipple
• Correctly designed hydraulic fluid reservoir
The flow speed in the suction pipes should be less than 1 m/s (39.36 in/hg). Poor suction conditions lead to cavitation, high
noise levels, shorter operational lifetime and, in the worst case, pump failure.
Pump Capacity
The pump capacity or size D cm³/rotation (inches³/rotation) should be able to give sufficient oil flow Q l/min (inches/min.) for
the equipment. The choice of size depends on the oil flow required, engine speed and power take-off gearing. A small pump
can give a large oil flow if the power take-off gear ratio is large, or if the engine speed is high.
Pump size is calculated as:
n = Pump speed (ne x Z)
D = Pump size cm³/rotation (inches³/rotation)
ne = Engine speed
Q = Oil flow l/min (quarts/min.)
Z = Power take-off gear ratio
ηv = volumetric efficiency
Torque Control
A certain torque, Mku is required from the power take-off at the pump shaft to drive the pump. This torque must not exceed
the permissible torque for the power take-off. Expressed in Nm, this torque is:
Mku = Torque at power take-off (Nm)
D = Pump size cm³/rotation (inches³/rotation)
p = Hydraulic working pressure bar (psi)
Mku, till. = Permissible torque for the power take-off Nm (ft-lb)
ηhm = Mechanical efficiency
< = Less than
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
Torque control of the engine Mmot must not exceed the permissible torque for the engine (please refer to the Body builder instructions “Power take-off, performance”) at a given engine speed.
Engine torque is equal to power take-off torque x gear ratio.
This type of hydraulic pump is adapted for a single circuit system with fixed volume.
The fixed displacement pump consists internally of one or two single circuit(s), from the suction port to the pressure port(s).
Examples:
• HPE / HPG-F61 (Parker F1-61)
• HPE / HPG-F81 (Parker F1-81)
• HPE / HPG-F101 (Parker F1-101)
• HPE-T53 (Parker F2-53/53)
• HPE-T42 (Parker F2-42/42)
Variable Displacement Pump
This type of hydraulic pump is also adapted for a single circuit system, from the suction port to the pressure port, but with variable displacement. When installed in a load sensing system, the variable displacement pump (VP1) supplies the correct
amount of flow required by the various work functions currently engaged. This means that the energy consumption and heat
generated are minimized and much reduced in comparison with a fixed displacement pump used in the same system.
Examples:
• HPE / HPG-V120 (Parker VP1-120)

Installation Requirements for Hydraulic Pump at Final Assembly
CAUTION
Hydraulic pumps must never be in use without oil flow in the hydraulic system. Failure to do so may result in component
damage.
Fixed displacement pump, HPE-FXX (F1 single flow)
• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure installations.
• See to that enough oil flow (minimum 5l/min) is running in the final hydraulic system back to the hydraulic tank when the
hydraulic pump is running unloaded. If not, a drain line must be installed from bypass valve to hydraulic tank entering below oil surface (to avoid “foaming” the oil).
Fixed displacement pump, HPE-TXX (F2 twin flow)
• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure installations.
• The drain hose from bypass valve, supplied loose from factory, must be connected to hydraulic tank entering below oil sur-
face (to avoid “foaming” the oil). Dimension of hose fitting is M12x1,5 DIN 20078N. It is allowable to shorten the drain
hose, but a new fitting must be attached in a proper way.
Variable displacement pump, HPE-VXX (VP1)
• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure installations.
• The bypass valve attached to the tank together with the hose between pump and by pass valve shall be kept and a drain
hose should be connected between port “T” and hydraulic tank. It is allowable to shorten the drain hose between pump
and bypass valve but a new fitting (M12x1,5 DIN 20078N) must be attached to fit onto fitting in bypass valve.
• The load signal on its way to port “LS” at the load sensing regulator on the hydraulic pump shall be connected in port “X”
on the bypass valve as well.
• A drain line must be installed between port “T” on the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic tank since the load sensing regula-
tor is not internally drained.
Permissible Pump Bending Torque
The hydraulic pump mounted to a power take-off causes bending torque at the power take-off.
A transmission mounted power take-off has the following maximum permissible torque:
PTR/PTRD/PTPT/PTR with AMT–D and AMT–F Transmission
PTOMaximum bending torque ft-lb (Nm)
PTR/PTRD30 (40)
PTPT-D30 (40)
PTR30 (40)
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
If a power take-off with coupling flange is to be used, the pump is installed by means of a bracket, either on an existing crossmember or on the sub-frame. An alternative method is to install an extra crossmember and install the pump on it. In this case,
it is important to design the crossmember so that it can withstand the forces involved when the chassis twists and bends.
The best way to achieve this is to design the crossmember as a normal, intermediate crossmember.
T9006112
The same requirements apply to power take-off propeller shafts as for drive line propeller shafts.
For best service life, the true joint angle should be kept between 0.5 – 8 degrees.
It is important that angles β1 and β2 are equal.
T9006113
Notes
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
The PTO and the hydraulic pump must be selected to function properly in the application(s) for which the truck is intended.
For example, a refrigeration unit must continue to operate while the vehicle is mobile, and the dump body must continue to
operate while the vehicle is stationary. The PTO and pump also must have sufficient flow — dependent on oil flow, pressure,
and the efficiency of the pump — to perform the designated work. The pump must be specified to achieve the flow of hydraulic oil required to ensure satisfactory operation of the equipment.
Input Data
The equipment driven by the hydraulic system requires a certain oil flow and working pressure. The components driving the
hydraulic system must not be overloaded.
Several variables affect specification of the correct PTO/pump combination for the hydraulic system. Typically, this information can be found on the hydraulic equipment manufacturer's data sheet. Equipment power requirements can include:
• Oil flow (Q) in LPM (GPM).
• Oil pressure (p) in bar (psi).
• Permitted torque/power output of the PTO.
• Permitted speed of the pump.
• Truck operating speed (spreading).

The pump capacity or size (D = cc/rev (in³/rev)) must be able to offer sufficient flow (Q = LPM (GPM)) for the proper operation
of the equipment. The selection of the pump size depends on the desired flow, engine speed, and PTO ratio. A small pump

The size (diameter and length) of the suction/pressure lines also will affect the function of the hydraulic system (see “Hydraulic Line Requirements”, page 65 ).
The suction line should be of sufficient diameter and minimum length without restrictions (pipe adapters) between the pump
and the oil reservoir connection. A pressure line with insufficient diameter will create unnecessary pressure losses in the form
of heat. A flow of 11.5 LPM (30 GPM) with a pressure drop of 9.65 bar (140 psi) will generate approximately 1.7 kW (5800
BTU).

The figures in the table show the minimum inside diameter without restrictions (pipe adapters) of a suction pipe from the tank
into the pump needed to avoid cavitation (noise). Other parts of the system can be designed differently, depending on installation requirements.

CAUTION
A suction line with insufficient diameter will create cavitation damage and low pump efficiency.
Pipe/Line Selection
To prevent cavitation (noise) damage and excessive pressure losses (heat), the inside diameter of the pipe must be the correct size. Do not exceed the maximum flow speeds.
A pressure line with insufficient diameter will create unnecessary pressure losses which will appear as heat. A flow of
113.5 LPM (30 GPM) with a pressure drop of 9.65 bar (140 psi) will generate approximately 1.7 kW (5800 BTU), which
can cause abnormal wear and damage to components.
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
As a guide, an oil reservoir tank with a capacity 1 or 2 times the pump flow/minute will be sufficient. For shorter periods of operation, a smaller capacity may be used.
Prior to installation, the oil reservoir must be cleaned to remove all manufacturing debris. The inside area should be treated
with oil-resistant paint. Prior to filling the tank, the oil should be poured through a filter to eliminate any possibility of dirt entering the tank. An oil filter with a rating of 10 microns (absolute) should be installed in the tank or return line. Oil filters should
be changed annually.
RECOMMENDATION
51 mm (2 in) suction line should be used between pump and reservoir (with no reducer fitting); suction line restrictions should be
minimized.
RECOMMENDATION
51 mm (2 in) ball valve should be used as shut-off device whenever feasible.

The F1 and F2 are piston pumps that are larger in size than the GP1, piston pumps are more efficient than gear pumps and
therefore produce less heat during the operation.
Piston pumps are 97% efficient at ~1000 rpm.

Series F2 is a further development of the twin-flow version of series F1, the very first bent-axis truck pump on the market to
feature two entirely independent flows. With a suitable build-up of the hydraulic system, the main advantage with a twin-flow
pump is that three different flows can be provided at the same engine speed. The twin- flow pump makes it possible to further
optimize the hydraulic system and offers:
• Less energy consumption
• Reduced risk of system overheating
• Lower weight when compared to installation of two pumps
• Easier installation
• Standardized system solutions
The twin-flow pump makes it possible to operate two work functions that are independent of each other while allowing higher
speed and an increased operating precision. Another requirement can be a large and a small flow, or two equal flows. All of
these alternatives are possible with the twin-flow pump.
The pump can be utilized to provide one flow at high system pressure, and, as soon as the pressure has decreased sufficiently, add the flow from the other circuit. This eliminates the risk of exceeding the PTO power rating and, at the same time,
provides an optimal driving function.

An F1 pump supplied with a bypass valve can be utilized in applications where the pump is operating constantly i.e. when
the pump is driven from the crankshaft through a driveshaft or mounted directly to a DIN 5462 REPTO or it can be installed
on a PTO. In most cases, the bypass valve allows the pump to be driven at max engine rpm during transportation at no load.
This prevents pump cavitation and high heat generation which may otherwise be encountered at large flows. The BPV valve
connects the outlet and inlet ports of the pump, and only a small oil flow goes through the system to the tank. The valve is installed directly on top of the pump port surface with ’banjo’ fittings. As the BPV valve is symmetrical it can be ’turned 180°’ to
suit either left hand or right hand pump rotation, or to prevent interference with chassis components. The valve can only be
engaged or disengaged (through a 12 VDC solenoid) at no-load system pressure.

The bypass valve is mainly utilized in applications where the F1 pump is driven from the crank-shaft through a driveshaft, or
when it is installed on a REPTO. The BPV bypass valve should be engaged during transportation when the pump is operating constantly and the engine is running at max rpm; the hydraulic system is not sized for the large flow that would otherwise
go through it. The BPV valve substantially reduces the energy loss during transportation. The valve installs directly on top of
the pump end cap with a pressure port ’banjo’ fitting and an inlet port spacer bushing with two cap screws; refer to the illustration below. As the BPV valve is symmetrical, it can be ’turned 180°’ to prevent interference with chassis components; it can
be utilized for either left hand or right hand pumps. The valve function must only be activated or released (by means of a 12V
VDC solenoid) at no-load (below 290 psi) system pressure.
Important Information
In order to prevent heat build-up in the pump during transportation, it is important that at least 1.3 gal/min comes out of the filter at ’q’ (refer to the schematic). This applies to an "open center” system when the valve is in the bypass mode (non-activated solenoid).
Note: a) If the flow at ‘q’ is less than 1.3gal/min (caused e.g. by high pressure drop in the main system) when the valve is in
the bypass mode.
b) If the hydraulic system is of the ’closed center’ type, then an external drain line must be installed from the bypass valve
drain port directly to tank as shown in the schematic; a drain kit is available.

Use of the Parker F1, F2 and GP1 pumps requires components that are not traditionally installed into NA truck hydraulic
systems.
1) To modulate the flow of oil so that the operation of the hydraulic system can be regulated traditional systems use a control
valve that is incorporated into the pump assembly. The Parker F1, F2 and GP1 require the addition of an oil flow regulator to
be installed in the circuit remotely from the pump to control the flow of the oil from the pump to the system actuator.
2) Parker F1 and F2 pumps run very tight tolerances to achieve the 97% pump efficiency so the system requires that a filter
element be installed into the return line to filter out debris as the oil returns to the tank. A pressure gauge is recommended to
be installed in the filter housing to indicate when the filter element has trapped sufficient debris that it restricts the flow of oil
back to the tank and requires the replacement of the filter.
Installation and Start-up for F1 and F2 Hydraulic Pumps
Fluids — Need to operate with a high quality, mineral based hydraulic oil. Type HLP hydraulic oil is suitable, as well as biologically degradable fluids like natural and synthetic esters and polyaphaolefins.
• SS 15 54 34
• SMR Hydraulic Oil Standard 1996-2
*Contact Parker Hannifin for further information.
Start-up — Make sure the entire hydraulic system is clean and the pump is filled (to at least 50%) with a recommended hydraulic fluid, as the internal leakage does not provide sufficient lubrication at start-up.
Drain Line — Fixed displacement pumps don’t need an external drain line as they are internally drained. However, when the
pump is mounted on an engine PTO, it is recommended to mount a drain line from the bypass valve directly to the oil tank if
in doubt.

ESC (Engine Speed Control): This is a function to maintain engine speed regardless of engine load. Think of it as cruise
control for the engine -only instead of maintaining a steady vehicle speed, it is maintaining engine speed. It is most often
used to provide steady engine speed when operating auxiliary equipment such as hydraulic pumps or compressors
There are two types of PTO engine speed control used in MACK Trucks, Inc.
“Electronic Hand Throttle”(EHT/PTO 0): This type of engine speed control is standard equipment; it is initiated and con-
trolled using the cruise control "ON/OFF", "RESUME/Accel", and "SET/Decel” switches. Manufacturers refer to this function
by different names -Mack calls it "Electronic Hand Throttle" (EHT), In this manual we will refer to it as “EHT”, even though
some of the parameters for programming this function will refer to it as "high idle" or PTO 0. (Note that in the North American
market, the term "high idle" usually refers to the maximum possible engine speed under no-load conditions).
“Wired” PTO: This type PTO is most commonly associated with the engagement of engine or transmission “Wired” PTO
driven accessories, where the user wishes to “remotely” activate the engine speed control function. It is usually accomplished by wiring the auxiliary equipment to the PTO function controller (VECU) so that engaging the equipment will automatically activate engine speed control (ESC).
PTO Functions with MACK Trucks, Inc.
A "PTO" icon will appear in the instrument cluster (conventional and later model MRU/LEU) only when ’Remote’ (’Wired’)
PTO input is active. No icon will appear while in Electronic Hand Throttle (EHT).
Electronic Hand Throttle (EHT)
The VECU reads the cruise control switch states, and activates engine speed control (ESC) when conditions are met. These
conditions are programmable in the VECU and might include a maximum vehicle speed, park brake set or not, etc. The engine ’set speed’ is selected by either pressing the cruise control "SET" button and then “Accel” button, or by using the accelerator pedal to get the desired engine speed and pressing the cruise control "SET" buttons. Once the PTO function is active,
the Accel or Decel buttons can be used to adjust the PTO engine speed (within limits). Preprogrammed set speed or single
speed control is also an option.
Physical/Wired PTO
This type of PTO speed control works similarly to EHT, except that the function is activated by applying an external signal to
a dedicated PTO input pin on the VECU. The set speed can be adjusted using the cruise control Accel or Decel buttons or
preprogrammed. Generally either PTO 1 or PTO 2 are used.
Commonly, the auxiliary device (PTO pump, bypass solenoid, etc.) is wired so as to be activated by the same switch which
initiates the engine speed control function. This means that the hardware will be engaged whenever the switch is on, even if
the engine speed is not being controlled (the hardware does not know whether the engine is running or not). There also is no
protection against an input switch that has been accidentally activated. Therefore the VECU has a sub-function. It is possible
to prevent engagement of the auxiliary equipment until certain conditions are met (park brake set, engine speed within a certain range, etc). This output is primarily controlled through the PTO 1 input.
Note: For a mDrive transmission the VECU enables a Transmission mounted PTO through the VECU output function. There-
fore, the VECU must receive the PTO 1 input switch signal. The VECU passes this on over the J1939 databus to the TECU,
depending on optional conditions.
Note: The Allison Transmission also provides a controlled output.
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
If equipment triggered engine speed control is desired, input should be wired to PTO 1 or 2 or, in limited situations, 3 or 4.
The worksheet below shows how to set up further features.
Definitions:
Temporary Dropout: These are dropout conditions which disable engine speed control and allow engine speed to fall to
idle. However when the condition is removed engine speed will ramp to previous set speed. Standard dropout conditions require reinitializing of control inputs (PTO on, Cruise on and/or set button pressed) to restart control.
Driveshaft PTO: This is a PTO where the PTO drive is after the transmission output shaft speed sensor, i.e., on a split shaft.
The VECU can suppress road speed signals (thereby stopping odometer accumulation) while the vehicle is not actually moving if the PTO feedback is input to PTO 2.

ing engine RPMs to go to the target speed, but without pressing the dash speed control set button.
Depending on programming the Cruise/engine speed control dash switch may or may not need to
be on.
At vehicle speeds above a programmable MPH, the ESC (electronic speed control) function be-
comes a cruise control in order to maintain vehicle speed, typically at highway speeds.
PTO power is diverted after the transmission output, often to a special driveshaft. The transmission
output speed sensor reads normally (drives speedometer, odometer), but typically there is no actual
vehicle speed.
When the engine speed control is being used, the condition may stop or ‘drop-out’ due to a pro-
grammed activation conditions. For example, if using the PTO engine speed control and the brake
pedal is touched, engine speed control may drop out and the engine reverts to idle, unless overrid-
den with the accelerator pedal.
Normally a drop-out requires the engine speed control set switch button to be ‘resumed’, or the PTO
reactivated to resume normal engine speed control. A temporary dropout automatically resumes the
engine speed control after the condition is removed. In the above example, if the brake pedal is re-
leased, and it is programmed as a temporary dropout, engine speed control will automatically
resume.
These terms are used interchangeably now that all engines are electronically controlled. Commonly
it refers to using the engine speed control or Cruise Control buttons on the dash, with the vehicle
stationary, to activate engine speed controls, without a PTO switch. Use of the EHT may sometimes
be referred to as PTO 0 (as opposed to PTO1, PTO2, etc.).
The VECU programming of engine speed control drives the engine speed automatically to a preset

value that is not otherwise adjustable with the speed control switches (but can be overridden with
the throttle pedal).

PTT2 has an operation called Parameter Programming which allows changes to settings in most ECU’s. Most settings of
concern to the body builder will be in the VECU which is also referred to by its J1587 designation, MID 144. Most settings are
level 4, meaning they are freely changeable by PTT2. In rare cases there may be reason to change OEM data as a level 2
parameter, in which case, an accessory kit would need to be applied or tech support would change parameters in the mainframe (VDA) and then a MID reprogramming would be required. MID reprogramming may also be necessary to bring in new
features as this also updates the main software and datasets.

Engine speed control refers to electronic hand throttle and PTO speed controls. These are controlled by the VECU.
Introduction
There are actually five programmable speed controls in the VECU. Electronic hand throttle (PTO 0 or High Idle Control) is enabled by the cruise control buttons engine speed control (ESC) is not to be confused with cruise control. The controls are basically the same however engine speed control, of course, sets engine speed while cruise control sets a road speed which
the engine attempts to maintain while the respective function is active.
The Mack VECU can be used to change engine speed based on several conditions. The “engagement” or “activation” of this
engine speed control can be started based the following depending on parameter settings:
• PTO input
• PTO input while Cruise on/off input is on. (referred to as “Autoset”)
• PTO input while Cruise on/off input is on and set button is pressed
The following can set to disable this control. There are parameters for activation, deactivation and temporary dropouts for
each. Temporary dropouts can allow engine speed control to start and stop based on the condition. Standard default setup is
to allow engine speed control in the state the truck would normally be parked in. In general, conditions not met on speed control will cause engine speed to drop to idle i.e., drop-out or deactivate.
• Road speed too high (default low).
• Engine speed too high or too low (default allows idle to governed speed).
• Service brake pressed or not (default not pressed).
• Park brake set or not (default set).
• Clutch pressed or not pressed (default not pressed).
• Transmission not in neutral(default not used).
• Secondary inputs (default not used).
Engine speed control can be started with a set speed that is equal to current speed or a programmable speed. The speed
can then either be adjustable from there or be fixed at the programmed speed by disabling the accelerator pedal and/or
buttons.
PTO 1-4 designated controls are engaged by applying 12V to the respective PTO input and may also require the cruise buttons. The PTO 1 input is usually available as a factory installed dash switch but can also be activated by input to the DCL
connector or the Bodylink III/Control Link II connectors. PTO 2 usually does not have a factory installed switch but is available in the DCL connector or the Bodylink III /Control Link II connectors. Inputs for PTO 3 and 4 are not always available and
then only in the DCL connector and may need other settings to use since the inputs are also used for other options.
Mack Body Builder InstructionsPI / CHU, AN / CXU, GR / GU, TD, LR, TE / MRU
EHT or PTO 0 can only be started when the cruise control button is on and set- is pressed. After set is pressed, the engine
may ramp to a preprogrammed speed or holding the Accel/resume button will ramp the speed up. If control is then “dropped
out” by pressing the brake pedal or changing some other dropout condition, control can be restarted by pressing Accel/resume which will command the engine speed to the previous set speed.
PTO 1-4 have options on starting speed commands. These can be summarized as follows:
• Cruise set button starts control if PTO and cruise are switched on.
• PTO input starts control if cruise control is switched on.
• PTO input starts control (regardless of cruise inputs).
Note that limits and accelerator pedal disable apply regardless of the state of engine speed control. Rather, they start based
on the PTO input state only.

Engine speed control can cause the speed to jump to a preprogrammed speed or require button controls for ramp or step
commands. Control will jump to a preprogrammed speed if the buttons are disabled for adjustment or if specifically enabled
by “jump to”. If buttons can not otherwise adjust speed, this is generally referred to as “single speed control” and also implies
disable of the accelerator pedal (shown later).
Note: A Jump to min doesn’t actually cause a jump to the minimum set speed but rather to the “resume speed” (unless the
resume speed is set below the minimum)

The accelerator pedal can be set to be ignored while either PTO is active or if hand throttle is active. Two potentially important details are here.
Use of “2 – accelerator pedal ignored” is recommended because the engine will require the PTO to be deactivated and the
pedal at 0 position before allowing accelerator pedal command. The “set to 0” will resume pedal control where ever it is. That
could potentially have the engine ramp if the pedal were to have inadvertently been pressed.
If PTO 0 is set to disable throttle pedal, the throttle pedal will remain disabled until the cruise control switch is turned off or
the resume function is disabled. The throttle pedal remains disabled while the PTO 0 is ready to resume. To disable this resume feature see parameter FGN.

If the resume/Accel button is pressed briefly and released engine set

If the set/Decel button is pressed briefly engine set speed will de-

This is the time that determines whether a press is a ramp or a step.

Hold to Nearest (Set Speed Rounding)
The engine set speed will be whatever the engine speed is when the button is released after holding for a ramp. To prevent
need to be precise about button release timing to achieve a round set speed “hold to nearest” can be used. For example, if
set to 100 rpm the set speed after a ramp will be 1200, 1300, etc. by 100s rather than 1231, 1319, or any in-between value.

There are several possible conditions that will cancel/dropout or prevent engine ramping (ESC, engine speed control). The
standard setup is to only allow engine speed control while stationary.
• Service Brakes
• Park Brake
• Road speed
• Engine speed
• Transmission state
• Clutch
• Other switch
Many of these can be set as temporary dropout. Standard dropout indicates that if the condition is not met, that engine will return to idle and PTO or cruise set will have to be reset or toggled to restart engine speed commands. Temporary dropout refers to that the engine ramp will occur as soon as the condition is cleared without any other action necessary.
Basic Brake conditions
For single control strategies these two parameters should be all that is necessary. If a PTO set speed is to be used while the
truck is in motion, then AZG (park brake condition) should be disabled. However this will affect any other PTO including hand
throttle/PTO 0. If one PTO is to be set up differently from another, the next sections parameters should be used to individually
override these parameters.
