Introduction
Overview
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.
Warranty
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 Series 90 variable displacement closed circuit pumps.
Remove the unit
Prior to performing major repairs, remove the unit from the vehicle/machine. Chock the wheels on the
vehicle or lock the mechanism to inhibit movement. Be aware that hydraulic fluid may be under high
pressure and/or hot. Inspect the outside of the pump and fittings for damage. Cap hoses after removal to
prevent contamination.
Keep it clean
Cleanliness is a primary means of assuring satisfactory pump life, on either new or repaired units. Clean
the outside of the pump thoroughly before disassembly. Take care to avoid contamination of the system
ports. Cleaning parts by using a clean solvent wash and air drying is usually adequate.
As with any precision equipment, 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
Use new O-rings and gaskets during reassembly. Lightly lubricate all O-rings with clean petroleum jelly
prior to assembly.
Secure the unit
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 5

Introduction
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.
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
W Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism
while servicing.
Flammable cleaning solvents
W Warning
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an area
where a source of ignition may be present.
Fluid under pressure
W Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek
medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Personal safety
W Warning
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.

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.
Design
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
Charge pump
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.

Charge relief valve

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
Charge pressure P106 157E
Multi-function valves
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.

Pressure limiter and high pressure relief valves

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.

P104 123E
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.
System check valves

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.
Bypass valves
You can operate the bypass valves to move the vehicle or mechanical function when the pump is not
running. Manually resetting the valve position opens the valve. The bypass valves are built into the multi-
function valves.
12 520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015

Operation
Speed sensors
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.
Filtration options
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
below. The use of a filter contamination monitor is recommended.
Charge pressure filtration – option R, T, P, and L

The pressure filter can be 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).

Pressure override (POR) – 180 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
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 13

Operation
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.

Manual displacement control (MDC)

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.
Non-Linear MDC
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.
Solenoid override valve for MDC

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)

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.
Hydraulic displacement control (HDC)

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.
14 520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015

Operation
Electric displacement control (EDC)
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 dis-
placement. The angular position of the swashplate is proportional to the EDC input.
Automotive control (FBA II B)

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.
3-Position (FNR) electric control

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
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 15

Overview
This section defines the operating parameters and limitations for Series 90 pumps with regard to input
speeds and pressures. For actual parameters, refer to the operating parameters for each displacement.
Input 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.
W 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.
System 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. System pressure must remain at or below continuous pressure during normal operation to
achieve 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.
Charge pressure
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
16 520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015

pressure setting is referenced to case pressure. Charge pressure is the differential pressure above case
pressure.
Charge inlet pressure

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.
Case pressure
Under normal operating conditions, do not exceed the rated case pressure. During cold start, maintain the
case pressure below maximum intermittent case pressure.
C 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 and viscosity
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.
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 17

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.
Fluid and filter change interval

Reservoir type Max oil change interval
Sealed 2000 hours
Breather 500 hours
C 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.
For detailed filtration information, see Danfoss publication 520L0463 Fluids and Filtration. For
information on biodegradable fluids see Danfoss publication 520L0465 Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids.

Initial start-up procedure
General
Follow this procedure when starting-up a new pump installation or when restarting an installation in
which the pump was removed.
W Warning
while servicing.
Prior to installing the pump, inspect for shipping damage.
Start-up procedure
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.
C 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.
C 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.

Adjustments
Standard procedures, inspections, and adjustments

Before working on the pump, clean the outside of the pump.
C 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.
W 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
bar [100 psi] gauge to measure case pressure (tee into L1 or L2 or use servo gauge port M4 or M5).
Operate the system with the pump in neutral (zero displacement) when measuring pump charge
pressure.

Adjustments
6. Once you achieve the desired charge pressure setting, remove the gauges and plug the ports.
Multi-function valve pressure adjustment

You accomplish adjustment of the pressure limiter setting and the high pressure relief valve (HPRV)
setting simultaneously. The HPRV setting is automatically set approximately 35 bar [500 psi] above the
pressure limiter setting.
Lock the motor output shaft by locking the vehicle’s brakes or rigidly fixing the work function so it cannot
rotate or cap the system ports.
W Warning
Take necessary precautions that the motor shaft remains stationary during the adjustment procedure.

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).
30 520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015

Adjustments
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.
C 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.
1. loosen the bypass actuator three turns. Refer to table for wrench size.
Do not rotate more than 3-1/2 revolutions, as additional rotation will permit external leakage.
2. For units with an MDC-type control, prior to moving the vehicle or otherwise causing the motor shaft
to turn, move the control handle of the manual displacement control on the pump to the maximum
full forward position. Hold the handle in this position during bypass valve operation.
3. To close the bypass valve, tighten the bypass actuator. See table provided for proper torque.

Pressure override valve operation is explained in the Operation section.
W Warning
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.
C 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

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.
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 33

Adjustments
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 free-
play 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.

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.
34 520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015

Adjustments
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.

Adjust the Neutral Start Switch to meet the following three requirements:
1. The distance you can move the control handle without opening the NSS is the NSS deadband. The
distance you can move the control handle without moving the control spool enough to port
hydraulic fluid to the pump displacement control cylinders is the control deadband. These deadbands
must be concentric.
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 free-
play).
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.

Neutral start switch eccentric plug adjustment (condition i)

Center the NSS deadband and the control deadband in relation to each other. Since you cannot adjust
the position of the control deadband, you must adjust the position of the NSS deadband to match it. The
switch pin is located in an eccentric plug which you turn to move the center of the NSS deadband. Ensure
the MDC is installed on the pump and in its neutral position when adjusting the neutral start switch
eccentric plug. The accompanying drawing provides dimensions for an eccentric plug adjustment tool.

1. Hold the switch and eccentric plug from turning and use a 1‑1/8 inch wrench to loosen the lock nut.
Remove the neutral start switch.
W 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.

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.

Standard procedures
Removing the pump

Before working on the pump, clean the outside of the pump. If the pump has an auxiliary pump attached,
remove both pumps as a single unit. Tag and cap all hydraulic lines as they are disconnected and plug all
open ports to ensure that contamination does not enter the system.
C Caution
Contamination can damage internal components and void your warranty. Take precautions to ensure
system cleanliness when removing and reinstalling system lines
Disassembly
1. With the prime mover off, thoroughly clean the outside of the pump.
2. Tag, cap, and disconnect each hydraulic line connected to the pump. As hydraulic lines are
disconnected, plug each open port, to ensure that dirt and contamination do not enter the system.
3. Remove the pump and its auxiliary pump (if applicable) as a single unit.
Inspection
1. Ensure the work surface and surrounding area are clean and free of contaminants.
2. Inspect the system for contamination.
3. Look at the hydraulic fluid for signs of system contamination, fluid discoloration, foam, sludge, or
small metal particles.
Reassembly
1. Before replacing the pump on the machine, replace all filters and drain and fill the hydraulic system
with the correct hydraulic fluid.
2. Flush the lines before replacing the hydraulic fluid.
Shaft seal and shaft replacement

You can replace the shaft and seal without major disassembly of the unit. Clean pump and surrounding
area thoroughly. Disconnect and remove the pump from the unit, and clean it thoroughly before starting
repairs. Mark all connections for later reassembly.
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).

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.
520L0818 • Rev 0101 • August 2015 53

Minor repair
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.

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.)
C 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.

damaged components.
Reassembly
1. Install the hydraulic tube (N25) into it’s bore in the endcap. Install the filter head (N10) into the port
using a new O-ring (N15). The hydraulic tube should go in with low force.
2. After rotating the filter head clockwise so that the threads engage with the threads in the endcap,
continue to rotate it clockwise between 6 and 7 revolutions. Position head as desired.
C Caution
Failure to install the filter manifold or filter head to a sufficient depth in the end cap will result in
insufficient engagement of the tube in the end cap bore. This may allow unfiltered oil to bypass the
filter and enter the charge system.
3. While holding the filter head in the desired position, tighten the swivel lock nut (N20) and torque as
shown in table.
4. Install a new filter canister (N40) per the instructions on the filter canister.
