HYDRAULIC HIGH-PRESSURE FILTERS
Two high-pressure filters located directly in front of the driver’s
compartment filter hydraulic fluid from the main hydraulic pump while it is enroute to the directional control valve
bank.
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR
The hydraulic reservoir is located beneath the driver’s compartment and its check and
fill point is located in the driver’s compartment. It has a capacity of 32 gal. (121 L) of OE/HDO-10.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE BANK
The control valve bank is located beneath the hydraulic high-pressure
filters. The control valves in the valve bank are activated by mechanical linkages from the operator’s compartment
and they, in turn, activate the hydraulic functions of the vehicle.
HYDRAULIC MANIFOLDS
Located in the hull, the manifolds route the flow of hydraulic fluid to the vehicle
components.
COMPENSATING HYDRAULIC PUMP
Located on the front of the transfer case, the pump provides pressure at a
constant 2,800-2,900 psi (19,306-19,996 kPa) to the SPRUNG/UNSPRUNG hydraulic operation. Capacity of this
variable displacement pump is 10 gpm (38 Lpm).
MAIN HYDRAULIC PUMP
A fixed displacement pump is mounted on the rear of the transfer case. The pump
pulls fluid from the hydraulic reservoir and circulates it through the hydraulic filters at 13 gpm (49 Lpm), then splits
the pressure at the directional control valves to provide pressure to both left and right suspension controls.
