Neutral position: the pump is driven by the Diesel engine, due to pump in neutral
position there is no flow delivered at either outlet of the pump.
Therefore the motor is not running, the machine does not move.
Hydraulic pump
A B
One way tramming: the pump supplies flow out of the port B to the port B of the
hydraulic motor.
The motor in now running, the machine moves.
Reverse direction: from the pump flow is now supplied from the opposite outlet port
A.
The motor runs in the opposite direction, the machine moves in reverse.
NOTE: most of the oil is recycled from the pump to the motor then back to the pump.
CAUTION: avoid contamination within the circuit so as to prevent particles of foreign
material to be recirculating many times in the H.P. loop circuit

1 - LUBRICATION FUNCTION
While engine is running if the machine is not moving, the pump does not deliver flow at either main lines A or B.
First purpose of the charge circuit is to supply pressure to lubricate all internal moving parts.
Hydraulic fresh oil from the tank enters the pump at the suction port S. The charge pump (internal gear type) is
linked to the main shaft, therefore it runs at the same RPM as the main pump (engine RPM).
At the outlet of the charge pump, oil is directed to the filter then to the charge relief valve 2 through the DA valve 1..
NOTE: The outlet of the charge pressure relief valve flows directly into the housing of the pump. This is used for
cooling all components with fresh and clean oil. From the pump housing, see drain port T1, drain oil flows to the
tank through the air cooler then directly to tank without filtration to prevent building up of back pressure.
Due to this cooling circuit a large flow can be seen at the drain line. That does not means that the tramming
component are leaking or worn out.
THE PUMP ROTATE CLOCKWISE LOOKING TO THE SHAFT SIDE. THE CHARGE FLOW PASSES THROUGH THE FILTER THEN
BACK INTO THE PUMP.
NOTE : WHEN THE FILTER ELEMENT IS CLOGGED, THE FILTER RELIEF VALVE RECYCLES THE OIL BACK TO THE CHARGE
PUMP INLET LINE. A CLOGGED FILTER RESULTS IN DROP OF CHARGE PRESSURE.
Charge pressure flows as well to the H.P. relief valves. They include a check valve function, which allows charge
pressure to be directed to both main lines A and B. On the drawing beside you can see the old relief valve , now
replace by the new relief type .
Charge pressure lubricates pistons, bronze pads BP in contact to the swash plate SP and the distributor plate DP.

While tramming, both motor and pump are working at high pressure. Tramming pressure range from 50b up to
440b.
There is internal leakage at the motor and pump. Leakage flows into the case drain lines.
The flow returning from the motor back to the pump is not equal to the flow at the H.P. outlet port. In the example
shown, the flow in line A is greater then the flow in line B, due to the motor internal leakage.
To prevent vacuum which damage components, the charge pump will make up the amount of oil lost into the drain
line. The charge pressure flows through the HPb relief valve into the main line B.

The curve C shows the charge pressure, the pilot pressure PS, Vg is the displacement of the main pump according
to the pilot pressure PS.
The pilot pressure in idle mode is not able to operate the swash plate, due to the calibrated springs installed into
the servo-cylinder.
The main pump start to operate with a PS pressure of 6 bar.
The maximum swash plate angle require 18 bar of PS pressure.

Tramming forward is selected, note the pressure which enters at the control port Y1.
Not using the inching pedal, the servo-control is fully moved in forward position.
PS pressure is directed to the servo-cylinder.
• engine in idle, the swash plate cannot be operated, there is no flow out of the pump, the machine does not
move. The pilot pressure PS is lower than 6 bar.
• by increasing step by step the Diesel RPM, the PS pressure can start to move the swash plate, the tramming
speed will increase step by step.
When the swash plate is operated, oil flows to the main HP line A. The check valve at the HPa relief valve is closed
due to the higher pressure applied from line A.

The control pressure in Y2 moves the spool upward expending the spring. PS Pilot pressure is directed to the servo-

As soon as the servo-cylinder moves, the mechanical linkage expend the sring in the opposite direction of the
control tension given by the control pressure inY2.
The cylinder moves until the spring is fully equalized. When fully balanced, the spool returns to neutral position.
A low control force (in ports Y) results in a small cylinder stroke. The angle of the swash plate can be accurately
monitored according to the control pressure.
The Diesel engine at full revolutions, the operator keep total control of the speed by using the inching pedal.
It is therefore possible to run the engine at high revolutions moving the machine slowly and using at the same time
another pump. In this situation, most of the engine power is a left available by the tramming circuit to other functions.

For better matching the Diesel engine power the high pressure pistons pushes the swash in opposite side as the
servo-cylinder. There is a re-acting force from the swash plate against the servo-piston force.
An higher working pressure results in an higher re-action force. When the engine start to run overloaded, it looses
RPM. The pilot pressure PS drops due to the DA valve. At the same time the running pressure is high, the re-action
force will assist the pump to "destroke" automatically. The tramming is now running at full pressure in lower flow.
The power requested to the engine is reduced.
The distributor plates is offset to achieve this re-action
force.
With no offset, from each side of the swash plate the
NO OFFSET OFFSET PLATE piston balances themselves.
By rotating the distributor plate, we can move the last
pressured piston further in one side. The swash plate is
no longer balanced.
The distributor plates receives an offset by machining
the locking groove with a preset offset angle.
CAUTION : see top drawwing, the same distributor
plate can be used with pump running clockwise or
C.C.Wise.
An adjusting offset screw allows minor adjustment from
OF factory presetting. The noch on the adjusting screw
shows the adjustment. When parallel to the pump axis
there is the minimum offset. Adjustment can be from
90° in either direction.

This valve includes a selector spool 3-2. According to the tramming direction, the HP (here in line A) pushes the spool
3.1 upward.
Since the tramming pressure do not reaches 440 bar, PS pressure stays at the level produced by the DA valve. After
this level of HP pressure, the valve 3 opens. PS pressure drops. Therefore the swash plate moves, reducing the outlet
flow. The flow is automatically adjusted to maintain the HP at a maximum of 440 bar.
The re-acting force help to return the swash plate to lower displacement.

Oil runs from line A to line B. The machine moving downward, the hydraulic motor works as a pump.
When the operator releases the accelerator, Diesel engine drops in RPM, the pump reduces flow by two ways:
• due to reduced RPM
• referring to pump working principle, low RPM results as well in PS pressure drop. Therefore the displacement of
the pump reduces.
The flow running through the pump is reduced. The pump creates a restriction to the flow, pressure in line B
increases creating a back pressure at the motor outlet. The tramming speed is reduced.

Tramming condition:
• machine is moving downward at normal speed in such situation
• the operator put the tramming direction switch to neutral
The servo-control valve moves to neutral position, PS pressure is no longer directed to the servo-cylinder. Spring
place the swash plate back to neutral. No oil is able to flow through the pump.
Due to the kinetic energy (weight of the machine and downward speed ) the motor is still running.
The pressure quickly increases in line B. It operates the HPb relief valve, pressure reaches 470bar.
The tramming motor is now at its maximum torque to stop the machine.
Note that the maximum torque in tramming conditions is 440bar controls by the valve 3. Therefore the braking
torque is higher than the tramming torque. This ensures that if the machine claim an incline, the tramming system
get higher braking capability to stop the machine.

operator pulls the brakes control valve 13. Charge pressure is directed through the sequence valve 12 to the brake
cylinders. Charge pressure releases the brakes.
EMERGENCY SITUATION
In the event of one of the main H.P. hoses is damaged, oil is leaking to the ground.
Most of the charge oil will flow through HPb check valve to the pump and through HPa check valve to the damaged
hose then to the ground. There will be a large drop in charge pressure. When charge pressure drops below 12 bar
the sequence valve will automatically shifts back to neutral. The pressure from the brake cylinders is released,
BRAKES ARE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY.
NOTE: when the tramming components are worn out, the internal leakage increases.
While tramming the charge pressure can drop due to excess of internal leakage. The brakes can be applied in such
conditions.
When the charge pressure is fluctuating around the sequence valve setting, this valve will move from neutral to
open position according to the charge pressure.
Brakes cylinders will be pumping; the final result is a fatigue of the brake springs therefore a drop in braking
efficiency.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
ACCELERATOR CIRCUIT
From pump port G, charge pressure is also directed to the accelerator circuit.
Components:
• 11: pressure reducer
• 10: accelerator pedal
• 9: hydraulic accelerator cylinder
The accelerator cylinder is working at a maximum pressure of 10 bar.
From the charge line oil is directed first to the pressure reducer 11.
10 bar reduced pressure supplies oil to the pedal 10. By pushing on the pedal a pilot pressure is directed to the
cylinder 9. The pedal outlet pressure depends on the position of the pedal.
The cylinder stroke will depend on the outlet pressure.

From forward circuit, valves 15 and 17 stay in the same position.
HP is now in line B. Line A get charge pressure.
Therefore the cylinder is now maintain is maximum displacement by the
charge pressure.
Gauge G shows charge pressure.
NOTE: the tramming HP test point located at the tramming
compartment is connected to G port. Due to the low range device, for
A G T
checking forward and reverse maximum tramming pressure, the speed
selector must be place in high-speed mode (solenoids B01 & B02
energized).
Charge pressure supplies oil to the inching pedal 19. In neutral, a spring maintains the hydraulic cartridge is fully
engaged position. Full charge pressure is supplied to the "Forward/backward solenoid control valve" 11.
When direction is selected servo-control valve 4 is therefore fully operated.
While tramming, if the operator wants to reduce speed or stop the machine, he releases the accelerator pedal then
he pushes on the inching pedal 19. The pilot pressure directed to the servo-control valve 4 through the solenoid
valve 11 is reduced. Less pilot pressure is directed to the servo-cylinder resulting in a reduced flow at the outlet of
the pump. The speed of the machine is reduced.
If the operator wants to stop the machine, he pushes the pedal fully. Pilot pressure drops to 0. No more pressure is
acting within the servo-cylinder. The pump moves back to neutral. No flow runs through the pump.
Time to stop the machine, the hydraulic motor runs as a pump. The flow from the motor can only circulate through
the HP relief valve until complete stop. (see: paragraph maximum braking capability page 20).
The hydrostatic circuit bring the machine to complet stop in any tramming conditions.
In declines, after complet stop, due to internal leakages at the motor and at the pump, the wheel are "crimping". The
operator should apply the emergency/parking brakes.
The option describe in the above schematic, applies the parking brakes automatically.
The outlet of the selector valve S directs the control pressure to the sequence valve V set at 5 bar.
The operator pushes the inching pedal to stop the machine. The control pressure at the outlet of the tramming
direction valve Y92 / Y93 drops. The machine stops due to the hydrostatic braking. When the control pressure drops
to 5 bar, the sequence valve V shifts to aplly the brakes.
Note the 2.5mm orifice allows the brakes to be applied softly.

ELECTRICAL FUNCTION
Pressure switches E56 & E57 turn light OFF when both are

pressurized over 110 bar.
When the safety brakes are applied, no pressure in the

actuators as shown, pressure switch E36 turns light ON and
allows the used of the engine starter. To start Diesel engine
the Safety/Park brakes must be ON.
To release the Safety/Park brakes, it is needed:
• pull up the electric button at the ABA control box
• To make sure that both accumulators are at 75 bar
minimum pressure; both pressure switches E58 & E59 must be pressurized
• Pressure switch E100 ensures that charge pressure, which operates the emergency/park brake, is at a
minimum of 10 bar.
If the pressure at any of those 3 pressure switches is below the required level of pressure, , the solenoid valves B91
and B92 apply the Safety/Park brakes.
NOTE: Pressure switch E101 turn a warning light ON to warn the operator that the safety brakes can be applied
soon. The light glows when the charge pressure drops below 15 bar.

To allow a positive pressure in all tramming situation, charge pressure is directed through the check valve 2 through
the one-way restrictors to lines 1 and 2.
In hydrostatic braking situation, vaccum could be possible in lines 1 and 2. If this situation appends, the charge
pressure will flow through the circuit explain above to maintain a corect positive pressure at the inlet of the motors.
When the machine does not move and it is articulated, the motors must rotate to reduce stress within steering
cylinders. The orifices allow few flow from the internal motors to the external ones.
