12.0 Technical Information – [cont'd]
Operating Pressure
– A measure of the hydraulic oil
pressure (values given in PSI / BAR) taken in the
attachment’s supply line during operation.
Oil pressure will fluctuate with changes to soil density
and the force exerted by the carrier. With the Ho-Pac
raised off the ground, the oil is under a state of no
load, and oil pressure is minimal. Each component of
the hydraulic system has a maximum working
pressure. For safety and reliability, it's important that
pressure is regulated so that no component is
subjected to pressures beyond their design.
IMPORTANT
The Operating Pressure is not to be used as a
relief valve pressure setting. Poor performance
and significant heat generation will occur.
Relief Valve
– Is an adjustable, spring-loaded valve
that opens when a preset pressure value is reached.
A relief valve is safety device, used to protect the
circuit against hydraulic overload. Relief valves vary
in design. Pilot controlled pressure relief valves are
designed so that the relief pressure increases very
little as the flow through the valve increases. For Ho-
Pac applications, they are recommended over direct
acting type relief valves.
CAUTION
The relief valve is a safety device, used to protect
the circuit against hydraulic overload. It is a
required component.
Fig. 12-1 Flow-Pressure Diagram
Dynamic Relief Pressure –
Also referred to as
“Cracking Pressure”. The pressure measured at the
moment the oil pressure exceeds the preset value of
the relief valve and the spool “cracks” open.
Static Relief Pressure
– Also referred to as “Full
Relief Pressure”. The pressure measured at the
moment the relief valve has opened fully and all oil is
by-passed.
Opening Curve
– The dynamic pressure is always
less than the static pressure. A relief valve adjusted
to a dynamic pressure of 3000 psi (200 Bar) will
crack open when the preset point is reached, but fully
opens at a higher pressure. The opening curve is the
rise of pressure between dynamic and static.
IMPORTANT
The carrier's hydraulic system must be capable of
providing the accepted oil flow at a pressure
equal to at least the dynamic relief pressure.

12.5.1 How to Identify the Different Motors
The identification of the motor can be determined by
measuring the length of the motor’s body. Measure
from behind the mounting flange to the rear plate.
Compare your measurement with 'L' in Table 12.1.
Refer to Fig. 12-2. The motor is assembled for
CLOCKWISE ROTATION. Motor ports are marked
[IN] and [OUT]. When viewed from the shaft end and
with the larger portion of the body downward, the [IN]
port is located on the left-hand side.
IMPORTANT
The motor is assembled for clockwise rotation.
Pressurizing the outlet port will damage the motor’s
internal components. Verify correct installation
before pressurizing the hydraulic circuit.
