HYDRAULICS

Hydraulic Guidelines
Please use the following guidelines to assist your design, selection and installation of your hydraulic system.

Cooler

 Oil coolers must be sized to remove at least 9 hp

(4.5kW) of heat from the system

 If ambient air temperature is below 32° F (0° C) for

extended periods of time, a cold-weather-bypass may
be required to prevent the cooler from bursting

Figure 1
 Oil coolers are ideally placed in front of the engine’s
Preferred Mounting heat exchanger, opposite the fan blades (Figure 1)

 If a thermostat controlled fan is used it should

monitor inlet oil temperature

 Oil coolers should be oriented so that air does not get

trapped in the system and oil does not drain back to
tank. To avoid this situation inlet and outlet ports
should be oriented upwards or place the inlet at the
bottom and outlet at the top (Figure 2)

 Under extreme high ambient temperature, additional

Figure 2
cooling may be required
Unacceptable Mounting
Note: Blue arrows indicate cool oil or air and red
arrows indicate warm oil or air

Figure 3

 HYDRAULICS

Hydraulic Guidelines (continued)

Reservoir
Location & Oil Levels

3D View  Oil reservoirs should be as close to the HPTO as

Figure 4 possible to minimize hose lengths and away from
the engine’s heat exchanger and other heat sources

 Top of oil reservoir must be below the pump drive

housing drain(s) being used

 To account for cooler and filter volumes, reservoir

levels should be checked after initial startup and
fluid changes

Design & Sizing

 Oil reservoirs should have a baffle that separates
the return port from the suction port. Ideally this
baffle is designed to run the length of the reservoir
so that it gives the oil maximum dwell time to allow
End View foam to settle out. This baffle should also run to the
Figure 5 top of the reservoir to ensure the suction port is as
free of foam as possible (Figure 4 & 6)

 Return and drain flows should be returned below

the reservoir’s fluid level to reduce oil aeration.
These lines should also be slant cut at the bottom
and directed away from reservoir flow to improve
oil dwell time and reduce fluid velocity (Figure 7)

Top View
Figure 6  Reservoir cleanout covers, if used, should allow
access to both sides of the baffle (Figure 5)

 Oil reservoir should be sized such that its capacity is

at least twice the maximum flow rate of the pump
which is operating the HPTO
o Example: A pump provides 8-1/2 GPM (32.2L) of
flow at maximum operating rpm. The reservoir
should then be at least 17 gallons (64.4L)

Hydraulic Guidelines (continued)

Pump requirements and pump drive capabilities
Pump requirements for HPTO

 A maximum pump flow of 15 gpm (57 lpm) is allowable at full engine speed

 A minimum pump flow of 3.5 gpm (13.2 lpm) is required at engine idle

 Pump suction hose should be as large in diameter and as short as possible to prevent
pump cavitation. A minimum hose diameter of 1-1/4” (32mm) is recommended.
Consult pump manufacturer to ensure suction head does not exceed their
recommendations for all operating conditions

 Pump inlet port should be no more than one size smaller than the suction hose size
being used
o Example: Pump port should be no smaller than -16 with a -20 suction hose
Pump drive capabilities

 SAE size A through D pump pads are available for use with the HPTO

 SAE size A through C spline inserts are available for use with the HPTO (SAE D size is
default spline in gear)

 Pump drives are available in a 1:1 and 1.27:1 (pump to engine speed) ratio

 If one of the pump drive locations is not being used, a coverplate must be in place to
prevent contaminates from entering unit. Coverplates are available from PT Tech for
all size pump pads

 Maximum unsupported pump load must not exceed 100 lb·ft (136 N·m). See graph
provided to determine if your application is within limits. If load exceeds limits a
support bracket must be used

10 06.05.12 B
 HYDRAULICS

Hydraulic Guidelines (continued)

Hoses, Fittings & Manifold

 Pump drive housing drain hose(s) must be Ø2” (Ø51mm) and free of loops,
restrictions, tight bends or upward slopes that could trap oil inside the HPTO

 If HPTO is mounted at an angle between 20° & 80° from vertical, two drain
hoses must be attached (Figure 8)

 If machine operates on angles, be certain that the pump drive housing drain
hose has adequate slope in worst case scenario

 A pump drive housing drain hose access hole is recommended in the support
20° plate to eliminate the need for special drain elbows
to
80°  Hoses should be routed in a fashion that prevents air from being trapped in the
system

 90° elbows and bulkhead fittings should be avoided in the hydraulic system to
prevent flow loss and pressure increases

 The manifold assembly should be mounted in a way that water and other
contaminates do not enter the electrical connectors of the valves and sensors.
Typically this is achieved by pointing them down or sideways

 The manifold assembly should be mounted in a location that prevents air from
being trapped in the system and is protected from thrown objects, heat sources
and contamination

To reservoir  Additional hose and fitting sizes are located on the hydraulic schematic at the
end of this document
Figure 8

Oil Cleanliness & Filtration

 Baseline oil samples are recommended when the machine is new (Refer to
“Maintenance Section” of this document) for later comparison

 A β16=75 high pressure filter (1000 psi/69 bar working, 2000 psi/138 bar burst) is
recommended

 Recommended Filtration Level ( ISO 4406:1999/SAE J1165) : 15/13/11

(4µm/6µm/14µm), minimum: 19/16/10

 Hoses, coolers and other hydraulic system components should be thoroughly

flushed before initial startup and during fluid changes

HYDRAULICS

Oil Requirements
Using any fluid other than PT Tech approved oil may significantly affect the performance and function of the
HPTO unit and will void warranty.
• In cold weather conditions, below 32°F (0° C), PT Tech recommends the engine and HPTO hydraulic system
run at low engine idle to allow sufficient time for the hydraulic oil to warm up prior to engaging the clutch
and increasing engine speed. If the HPTO clutch system indicates a pressure fault any time during this warm
up period, follow normal engine shutdown procedures to prevent damage to the HPTO clutch system
• The HPTO clutch system design specification has an allowable environmental ambient temperature range
of -20° F to 120° F (-29° C to 49° C). If ambient temperatures are below the allowable range, PT Tech
recommends the addition of a reservoir heater
• High ambient temperatures may require additional cooling
To determine the recommended oil for your application, first select the temperature range below that best
defines the normal ambient air temperature in which the HPTO will be operating.

Electrical Guidelines
To avoid any electrical malfunction, the user should always disconnect the wiring harness from the HPTO
controller when welding or performing any electrical maintenance on the equipment. Failure to do so may
result in damage and loss of warranty.
The HPTO controller has been pre-programmed at PT Tech. Failure to understand the specified operating
parameters and conditions prior to initial startup and operation may result in unexpected results and/or
possible damage to equipment. Contact PT Tech prior to initial startup to prevent possible injury or death.

Power
 The HPTO controller must be connected to a 24 Volt DC power source (battery) and will not function correctly if
voltage drops below 20 VDC
 If system voltage is 12 Volts a voltage converter is required (P/N CECVC-002). Contact PT Tech prior to installing
wiring for instructions
 The engine ignition switch should provide power to the ignition input (orange wire connected to pin 1 of grey
plug on master unit of HPTO controller) in all positions except off
 Battery power to the HPTO controller must remain constant regardless of switched power. It also must remain
constant during E-stop conditions
 It is recommended that the machine’s E-stop button not disconnect battery power from the HPTO clutch
controller during an emergency stop situation. A battery positive source should be connected to pin 8 of the
grey “A” plug on the master unit and the engine key switch power must be lost during an E-stop. This will allow
the clutch to stay engaged and the engine to assist in the slowdown of the driven inertia

Wiring & Connectors

 Ensure that all shield/drain wires are connected to the master unit pins per the wiring schematic. Do not ground
shield/drain wires at the sensor end.
 Do not ground shield wires to frame/chassis ground
 If extra wire length is present in wiring harness, cut wires to needed length. Do not coil wires. Coiling the wires
could cause electrical noise and interference
 Plug unused openings in connectors with appropriate sealing plugs to prevent contamination from entering the
connector
 To reduce stress in connectors allow at least 3” (76.2 mm) of wire length from connector to attachment points
or wire bends
 If controller is not mounted inside an electrical enclosure, orient the controller with electrical plugs facing
downwards and run with a “drip loop” to prevent water intrusion into the electrical connectors

Specifications & Options

 The clutch can be engaged/disengaged via three ways:
1) PT Tech display unit
2) Customer supplied momentary switch
3) J1939 interface
 If a customer supplied engage/disengage switch is used the button should be connected to pin 5 of the grey plug
on the master unit of the HPTO controller
 The HPTO controller has an internal resistance that will draw 48mA @ 24 VDC when the remote button is pushed
 For customers who choose to use the J1939 functionality of the HPTO controller, a detailed J1939 interface
specification is available from PT Tech upon request
