MHP Hydraulic Manual Override Maintenance
and Troubleshooting
5.3.1
Operation
(see the attached operating diagram MAN 562-A)
The “MHP” hydraulic manual override and speed control unit is utilized, in connection
with the actuator hydraulic cylinder, for the manual operation and for the speed control
during the pneumatic operation of pneumatic double acting actuators.
5.3.2
Manual Operation
Selected by the hand operated directional control valve (D) the operation (opening or
closing) to be performed.
Actuate the handpump (P).
The relief valve (Rm) prevents that the oil pressure delivered by the handpump exceeds
the set value so to not damage the valve or the actuator.
5.3.3
Remote Operation
To allow the actuator pneumatic operation the hand operated directional control valve (D)
has to be in its “REMOTE” control position: valve liver in its central position as shown by
the instructions plate.
Pneumatic operation
The oil flows from the hydraulic cylinder chamber, rear flange side, via the flow regulator
(Fa), the valve (D) and the flow regulator (FC), free flow direction, to the hydraulic
cylinder chamber, head flange side.
The exceeding oil volume, corresponding to the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, flows via
the flows regulator (Fr) into the oil tank (Ot).
The relief valve (Ra) prevents that the oil pressure, into the hydraulic cylinder, exceeds a
set value.
The flow regulator (Fa) allows the setting of the actuator operation speed in opening
independently from the actuator speed in closing.
