2.5. : tilting the swash plate in one way causes the
variable displacement pump to drive fluid
through the fixed displacement pump in one
direction. See Figure 2.5.

NOTE: In figure 2.5, the pistons in the variable
displacement pump are alternately pressed into
the bores, and then released from bores of the
rotating pump block by the tilt of the swash plate.
• On the right side of the pump block in figure 2.5,
the pistons are down.
• The pistons are extended on the left side of the
pump block. They are forced up by springs con-
tained in the pistons.
• This action causes the pistons to pump fluid in
one direction.
• The further the swash plate is tilted, the greater
the movement of the pistons as the pump block
rotates.
• As the travel of the pistons is increased, the dis-
placement of the pump is increased, and more
fluid is pumped.
• The more fluid is pumped, the faster the fixed
displacement motor is driven.

Tilting the swash plate the other way causes the
variable displacement pump to drive fluid
through the fixed displacement pump in the
opposite direction. See Figure 2.6.

Figure 2.6
When the swash plate is flat, the pump pistons
do not move up and down, no fluid is displaced
and no power is transmitted to the fixed dis-
placement pump.
The auxiliary pump maintains a supply of pres-
surized fluid (charge pressure) to the variable
displacement pump to feed and lubricate the
pump.
The charge check valves direct the flow of pres-
surized fluid to the ports that feed the pistons of
the variable displacement pump.
When driving forward, fluid flows into the vari-
able displacement pump through one set of
ports, and out through a second set.
When driving backwards, the flow is reversed.
One check valve opens and the other one
closes, depending on the direction of fluid flow.
If the hydro. is in "neutral", lubrication is provided
to this spinning (but not pumping) pump and
motor blocks through separate channels in the
housing.
rectly, begin diagnosing with simple things that
can be seen with minimal disassembly.
