General
Auxiliary equipment require power take-offs, either when
the truck is stationary or when it is in motion. Various
power take-off alternatives can be chosen, depending
on the bodywork.

The work is generally carried out by equipment which

is powered by a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor,
together with a pump and associated equipment, form the
basis of the hydraulic system. The pump, which provides
the hydraulic pressure and flow to the motor, is the heart
of the hydraulic system.

All power take-offs covered by this chapter are available

D
factory installed. Some variants can also be ordered from
Volvo Parts AB.

T9006703
For further information about:

• Power take-offs and Hydraulic pumps, please refer

to “Product and variant information” and the
booklet “Power Take-Offs and Hydraulic Pumps”.

• Essential dimensions with the power take-off fitted

to the vehicle, please refer to “Supplementary
Drawings”

• Wiring diagram for connecting a power take-off to

Geartronic and Powertronic gearboxes, please refer
to Body builder instruction “Vehicle electronics”.

• Power take-off working conditions and parameter

settings, please refer to Body builder instruction
“Vehicle electronics”.

It is important to dimension an optimum hydraulic system,
and to specify the correct pump size to provide sufficient
oil flow and prevent overloading of the power take-off. For
recommended instructions, please refer to: “Dimensioning
of hydraulic system and hydraulic pumps” page 32.
Note: The body builder should enclose an information
binder, delivered with the truck, including hydraulic
system data (system dimensioning description and
dimensioning criteria).
Service, function and safety descriptions should also
be enclosed.

Power take-off
There is a number of different power take-off variants
available, with single or double outlets. The power take-off
is supplied with either a flange connection and/or a direct
connection to the hydraulic pump (opening with a splined
DIN connection).

Power take-offs are classified into two family variants:

Clutch dependent and Clutch independent

Abbreviations
D
PTR = Single power take-off gearbox, rear mounted (Power take-off Transmission Rear). All are
rear-facing.
PTRD = Double power take-off gearbox, rear mounted (Power take-off, Transmission, Rear mounted,
Double).
PTOF = Flywheel mounted power take-off (Power Take-off Flywheel). (FM9, FM12 and FM13). This
variant is available with rear-facing flange or opening for hydraulic pump located at twelve o’ clock.
PTPT = PowerTronic power take-off (PowerTronic Power Take-off). Torque converter mounted. Available
with rear-facing flange or opening for hydraulic pump, both located at one o’clock (seen from
rear of gearbox).
PTES = Engine mounted power take-off (Power Take-off Engine Side). The pump is connected directly to
a timing gear. The variant is always delivered complete with its hydraulic unions prepared.
PTER = Engine mounted power take-off located at the rear end of the engine (Power Take-off Engine
Rear.)
EPTT = Maximum permitted torque on engine power take off (Engine Power Take off Torque)

Clutch dependent power take-off

Clutch dependent power take-offs are designed to work
when the truck is parked. Common applications are
tipping trucks, mobile cranes, tank trucks etc. They are
mounted on the gearbox and stop working when the
clutch pedal is depressed.

Note: The clutch pedal must be depressed to engage or

disengage the power take-off.

Clutch independent power take-off

A clutch independent power take-off is mainly used when
work is to be done when driving. Refrigerators, hook lifts,
concrete mixer, snow ploughs/sand spreaders etc. They
are designed to be installed either on the engine or the
flywheel.

Flywheel PTO
A flywheel mounted power take-off is either driven from
the flywheel or as a sandwich unit, installed between
the engine and the gearbox. It is driven via a hydraulic
multi-plate clutch.

The engagement of the hydraulic pump must not give any pressure peaks exceeding the rated pressure.

Note: Low stiffness of the prop shaft and big inertia on

the pump will give low resonance frequency, which can be
triggered by the frequency in the engine.
The engagement time has to be so long that no pressure
peaks will occur, and the best way to verify this is to
measure the pressure close to the pump.

Resonance frequency
The minimum torsional resonance frequency is 300 Hz for
the system propeller shaft to PTO pump. Failure to this
demand can cause severe damages to the engine.

Resonance frequency (f) for a propeller shaft driven PTO Example:

is calculated as:

Plugged-in pumps are connected directly to the power
take-off via a splined shaft. Connection is done according
to DIN5462/ISO 7653 standard.

The VP1- and F1 Plus pumps are available for plugged-in

mounting.

Body builder instructions 2.07 95 04 11(42)

Pump types
The following pump types are available from Volvo:

• Pumps with fixed displacement

• Pumps with variable displacement
Fixed displacement pump
This type of hydraulic pump is adapted for a single circuit
system with fixed volume.

The fixed displacement pump consists internally of one or

two single circuit(s), from the suction port to the pressure
port(s).
D
Examples:

• HPE / HPG-F41 (Parker F1-41)

• HPE / HPG-F51 (Parker F1-51)
• HPE / HPG-F61 (Parker F1-61)
• HPE / HPG-F81 (Parker F1-81)
• HPE / HPG-F101 (Parker F1-101)
• HPE-T53 (Parker F2-53/53)
• HPE-T70 (Parker F2-70/35)

Variable displacement pump

This type of hydraulic pump is also adapted for a single
circuit system, from the suction port to the pressure
port, but with variable displacement. When installed in a
load sensing system, the variable displacement pump
(VP1) supplies the correct amount of flow required by the
various work functions currently engaged. This means
that the energy consumption and heat generated are
minimized and much reduced in comparison with a fixed
displacement pump used in the same system.

Examples:

• HPE-V45 (Parker VP1-45)

• HPE-V75 (Parker VP1-75)
• HPE / HPG-V120 (Parker VP1-120)
Volvo Truck Corporation Date Group Release Page
Body builder instructions 2.07 95 04 12(42)

Installation
CAUTION
Hoses and pipes should not be routed too near the
warm points in the truck. Avoid crossed pipes which
could cause chafing. (Risk for fire if a leakage should
occur and the transfer of heat to the hydraulic oil).
D
4x4, 6x6 All wheel drive
All gearbox mounted PTO’s are possible to use for
all wheel drive vehicles, except for PTR-FL, PTR-FH,
PTRD-F, PTRD-D1 and PTRD-D2. (There are no space
for propeller shaft from PTO due to transfer box.)

The two power take-offs for automatic (Powertronic)

gearbox (PTPT-F and PTPT-D) are available as options.

Engine mounted hydraulic pump with

VT2006PT/VT2506PT is not available from fac-
tory (lack of space).

The direct driven power take-offs (PTOF-DIF and

PTOF-DIH), which are installed between the engine and
a manual gearbox, could not be installed because the
distance between the transfer box and the rear of the
gearbox is too short.

Engine PTO in combination with I-Shift and Geartronic

V2214, V2514, V2412IS
The power take-off could only be engaged when the
truck is standing still or driven on one selected gear.
The reason for this is that the power for changing
gears not could be controlled otherwise. This type of
installations are similar to the gearbox mounted PTO’s
in this matter.

V2412AT, V2512AT, VO2512AT, V2812AT, VO3112AT

On the new I-shift the power take-off could be engaged
during driving, but to large loads can cause gear shift
problems. To avoid this, engine PTO loads while driving
should be limited to:

Engine Maximum torque (Nm)

D9 200
D13 300
D16 300

Note: An example of an application that is not allowed is

Refuse trucks, if compacting during gear shift and using
higher torque than maximum limitation (see table above).

Double front axle system, 8x2, 8x4

Choice of power take-off / hydraulic pump
Some combinations of engine/gearbox/power take-off and
engine/gearbox/power take-off with rear-mounted pumps
can not be used on 8x2 and 8x4 chassis. This is because
of the risk of damage to gearbox, power take-off, pump
and hydraulic connections due to the second steering
axle. Recommended combinations are found in the table
below.
Note: Power take-off PTRD-D has a forward-facing
opening for a pump which can be installed in line with
the gearbox.
D
This opening is not affected by the second steering axle,
but check that a power take-off is permissible.

Accessibility of PTOF and PTPT

If a top-mounted power take-off is installed on the gearbox
and there is a fixed body building, we recommend that
a service hatch should be made in the floor as in Body
builder instructions “Attachments”.

Delivery conditions for factory installed hydraulic pumps

CAUTION
Hydraulic pumps must never be in use without oil flow
in the hydraulic system.

For trucks with gearbox mounted PTO:

To prevent the possibility to engage the hydraulic pump
before definitive assembly, the following is done from
factory:

• The PTO magnetic valve outlet is blocked up by a

hexagon socket plug.
One or two valves is plugged, depending on type of
PTO.

• The valve nipple, which the body builder should

connect, is placed in a plastic bag and strapped on the
end of the pneumatic hose at magnetic valve

For pumps mounted on PTO PTR-D, and rearmounted

in outerport on PTR-D, the direction of rotation must be
changed to clockwise direction.

T9008795
Volvo Truck Corporation Date Group Release Page
Body builder instructions 2.07 95 04 19(42)

D
For trucks with engine mounted PTO:
The hydraulic pump is always engaged; therefore
sufficient lubrication is needed continuously for the pump.

• To establish lubrication during transport from factory to

final assembly at body builder, a temporary hydraulic
transport kit is added at the factory.

• The components in the kit (tank, hoses and unions)

should be replaced; they are not dimensioned for the
working pressure in the definitive hydraulic system.

Note: The replacement must be performed in particularly

clean conditions. Dirt and other contamination which
finds its way into the hydraulic system could easily
cause severe damage.

The dimensioned drawings “Position in the truck” page 24

show where the unions for connection to the permanent
equipment is located.

Installation requirements for hydraulic pump at final assembly

CAUTION
Hydraulic pumps must never be in use without oil flow
in the hydraulic system.

Fixed displacement pump, HPE-FXX (F1 single flow)

• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings
and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure
installations
D
• See to that enough oil flow (minimum 5l/min) is running
in the final hydraulic system back to the hydraulic tank
when the hydraulic pump is running unloaded. If not,
a drain line must be installed from bypass valve to
hydraulic tank entering below oil surface (to avoid
“foaming” the oil).

Fixed displacement pump, HPE-TXX (F2 twin flow)

• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings
and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure
installations.

• The drain hose from bypass valve, supplied loose

from factory, must be connected to hydraulic tank
entering below oil surface (to avoid “foaming” the oil).
Dimension of hose fitting is M12x1,5 DIN 20078N.
It is allowable to shorten the drain hose, but a new
fitting must be attached in a proper way.

Variable displacement pump, HPE-VXX (VP1)

• Remove the temporary oil reservoir kit, tank, fittings
and hoses are not designed for use in high pressure
installations.

• The bypass valve attached to the tank together

with the hose between pump and by pass
valve shall be kept and a drain hose should be
connected between port “T” and hydraulic tank.
It is allowable to shorten the drain hose between
pump and bypass valve but a new fitting (M12x1,5 DIN
20078N) must be attached to fit onto fitting in bypass
valve.

• The load signal on its way to port “LS” at the load

sensing regulator on the hydraulic pump shall be
connected in port “X” on the bypass valve as well.

• A drain line must be installed between port “T” on the

hydraulic pump and the hydraulic tank since the load
sensing regulator is not internally drained.

Permissible pump bending torque

The hydraulic pump mounted to a power take-off causes
bending torque at the power take-off.

A gearbox mounted power take-off as well as an engine

mounted power take-off has the following maximum
permissible torque:

PTR/PTRD/PTOF/PTPT/PTER
PTO

PTR/PTRD
Maximum bending
torque (Nm)
40
D
PTOF-DIH 40
PTPT-D 40
PTER 40

Note: If dual mounted pumps are used, the total torque

must not exceed 40 Nm.

Calculation of pump bending torque

Torque is calculated with the formula below:

Mb = m 2 g 2 A
Mb Bending moment at pump connection to power
take-off (Nm).
m Pump weight (kg).

g Normal acceleration = 9.81 N/kg.

A Distance between pump centre of gravity and

anchorage on power take-off (m).

Note: This calculation method is used irrespective of

PTO/pump location.

T9007591
Volvo Truck Corporation Date Group Release Page
Body builder instructions 2.07 95 04 23(42)

Propeller shaft installation

If a power take-off with coupling flange is to be used, the
pump is installed by means of a bracket, either on an
existing crossmember or on the sub-frame. An alternative
method is to install an extra crossmember and install the
pump on it. In this case, it is important to design the
crossmember so that it can withstand the forces involved
when the chassis twists and bends. The best way to
achieve this is to design the crossmember as a normal,
intermediate crossmember.

The same requirements apply to power take-off propeller

shafts as for drive line propeller shafts.
D T9006112

For best service life, the true joint angle should be kept
between 0.5 – 8 degrees.

It is important that angles β1 and β2 are equal.

Dimensioning of hydraulic system and hydraulic pumps

It is important to dimension an optimum hydraulic system,

and to specify the correct pump size to provide sufficient
oil flow and prevent overloading of the power take-off.
D
Note: The body builder should enclose an information
binder, delivered with the truck, including hydraulic
system data (system dimensioning description and
dimensioning criteria).
Service, function and safety descriptions should also
be enclosed.

Pipes, lines and hoses

Connected to the hydraulic pump are a high-pressure
hose, suction and drain lines.

When dimensioning the hydraulic system, it is important

that:
• Hoses and lines must be connected to the pump with
unions. Sealing rings must be used between pump
and union.

• Teflon tape or similar must not be used since pieces

can break off and get into the hydraulic system and
eventually cause damage.

• If steel piping is used, it must be installed so that

movements and vibrations do not cause leakage.
Normally hoses should be used nearest the pump.

• Oxide scale must be removed from pipes which have

been heat-bent or welded. Flush or blow the pipes
clean before installing them.

CAUTION
Hoses and pipes should not be routed too near the
warm points in the truck. There are two reasons for
this, namely risk for fire if a leakage should occur, and
the transfer of heat to the hydraulic oil.

These hoses must have a minimum of four steel wire
coil inserts in order to withstand the high pressure in the
hydraulic system.

When mounting an high-pressure hose:

• Make sure the hoses are not twisted when connected
up.

• Make sure the hoses are long enough.

• Strive to get as few bends as possible on a hose.

• Avoid kinks by using correct unions. Only pressed

unions may be used when replacing hose unions.

Note: Check for oil leakage and for high noise levels in
the system when the truck is in motion.

Suction line
The suction line is made of piping or armoured hose which
retains its shape even when there is vacuum in the line.

To avoid cavitation:
• The suction line should be as short as possible and
should not exceed 4 metres. In the event longer lines
are required, larger line dimensions must be used.

• The suction line should connect to the bottom of the

tank and must be correctly tightened to prevent air
getting into the oil.

• The suction line must have a wide diameter and must

be free from kinks and constrictions.

Note: Avoid suction lines of high-pressure hooks and

hooks made locally from pipe pieces welded together.
They could cause unnecessary suction resistance.

Suitable suction line sizes at different flow quantities and

with a flow speed of less than 0,8 m/s:

Inner diameter Ø (mm) Flow up to litre/minute

50 0–120
64 101–150
75 > 150

D
Drain line and bypass valve
If the hydraulic pump is installed to a constantly running
PTO, it is provided with a bypass valve.

The bypass valve reduces the oil flow through the pump
to obtain low heat generation and to avoid cavitation.

Fixed displacement pump

HPE-FXX (F1 single flow)
In order to prevent heat build-up in the pump during
transportation, it is important that at least 5 litre/minute
comes out of the filter at “q” (refer to the schematic below).
This applies to an “open centre” system when the valve is
in the bypass mode (non-activated solenoid).

Note: It the flow at “q” is less than 5 litre/minute (caused

e.g. by a high pressure drop in the main system) when
the valve is in the bypass mode or if the hydraulic system
is of the “closed centre” type, then an external drain
line must be installed from the bypass valve drain port
directly to the hydraulic tank.

HPE-TXX (F2 twin flow)

In order to secure a cooling flow through the system, a
separate drain line is already connected to the bypass
valve from factory and the other end of the hose is
temporary plugged. At final assembly the hose should be
connected to the hydraulic tank, entering below oil level
(preferable to the filter housing on the oil tank).

Bypass valve
For the fixed displacement hydraulic pumps the bypass
valve is attached directly on top of the end cap of the
hydraulic pump. It is electrical operated and the valve
function must only be activated or released at no-load
(below 20 bar) system pressure.

For F2- twin flow hydraulic pump it can be used when,

temporarily, one of the two circuits is not required; the
power loss is thus reduced as the non-required flow is not
forced through lines and “open centre” valves

D
Variable displacement pump
HPE-VXX (VP1)
At final assembly, since the control valve on the hydraulic
pump is not internally drained, there must be an external
drain line installed between port “T” and the hydraulic
tank.

Bypass valve
For variable displacement pump the bypass is, from
factory, attached to the temporary oil reservoir and
connected to the hydraulic pump via a hose to the port for
gauge outlet, (on VP1-45 and VP1-75 port beside suction
port and on the VP1-120 port “M”on the control valve).

The valve, which requires no additional control valve,

allows the pump to operate on- or off-load up to its
maximum self–priming speed.

When a load sensing valve function is engaged, the

bypass flow is cut off (as port ’X’ is being pressurized).

Hydraulic oil tank

The tank must be large enough to avoid cavitation and
overheating. A suitable volume is 1,5 times the nominal
pump flow per minute.

The tank includes:

1 Air filter, fitted (as required) in a tube and provided with
a non-return valve
2 Level gauge
3 Suction connector equipped with full-flow tap
4 Angled, perforated plate on which air bubbles
accumulate and rise to the surface
5 Return oil filter
D
When installing a hydraulic tank: T9008314

• The volume of the hydraulic tank must be dimensioned

1,5 times the nominal pump flow during normal working
conditions.

• Make sure that the placing of the hydraulic tank does

not limit the performance of the hydraulic pump.
For example: The suction fitting must not be placed
below the inlet of the return pipe.

• It is important that the deaeration surface is big

enough. Prevent external dust and dirt from entering
the hydraulic system. The inside of the tank must be
well cleaned. To prevent dust getting into the system,
the air filter should have the same filtration degree as
the return oil filter.

• Oil is topped-up through the return oil filter, preferably

via a rapid joint on the return line where the oil can
be pumped in.

• Check oil level and ensure that it is oil of recommended

type and viscosity.

Body builder instructions 2.07 95 04 37(42)

D
Return oil filter
A return oil filter should be installed in the tank or in the
return line. The filter should be dimensioned for a capacity
which is approx. twice that of the pump flow.

Recommended filtration level:

• 25 µm (absolute) in clean environment or at low
pressures (0–200 bar).
• 10 µm (absolute) in contaminated environment or at
high pressures (200–300 bar).

Check return pipe and filter condition and check for oil
leakage.

Note: The filter must be replaced at least once a year.

Hydraulic oil
Hydraulic fluids type HLP (DIN51524), ATF (automatic
transmission fluid) and engine oil type API/CD can be CAUTION
used.
Do not mix oils of different quality.
Recommended viscosity:
• 20-30 mm²/s (cSt).

Starting up
Make sure the entire hydraulic system is clean before
filling it with a recommended fluid. In particular the pump, CAUTION
which must be purged to remove any entrapped air in the
pump housing (use the uppermost purge port). Make sure the suction connector always is below the
minimum level of the hydraulic oil.

Calculation of hydraulic pump size

The following information is required to dimension the
hydraulic system:

•
•
•
•
•
Oil flow Q (l/min), to the equipment

Oil pressure p (bar), to do the work intended

Permissible torque or power taken from the engine

Permissible pump speed

D
Control the pump environment with the Parker
calculation program.
Go to Introduction on the VBI homepage, choose
Software requirement and click on Parker.

Engine speed
Engine speed limit for engine mounted hydraulic pumps
Vehicles specified with engine mounted hydraulic pumps
will always have a maximum engine speed (rpm) pre set
from factory.

Depending of pump size and if the vehicle is equipped

with BBM (Body Builder Module) or not, the setting is
between 1700–2500 rpm.
This has been done by using data parameters in the
vehicle control unit, and when the hydraulic pump is in
service, the maximum engine speed cannot be overridden
by pressing the throttle.

If the hydraulic system is designed in such way that the

self-suction speed of the hydraulic pump is reduced, then
the limited value should be modified using VCADS Pro or
Body Builder Pro software.

Engine speed control

Check that the permissible speed, specified by the pump
manufacturer on the pump, is not exceeded.

Pump speed per minute n is governed by engine speed

ne and power take-off gear ratio Z:

n = ne 2 Z
n = Pump speed (rpm)
ne = Engine speed (rpm)
Z = Power take-off gear ratio

D
Pump speed
The maximum (self-suction) speeds given in the catalogue
apply at 1.0 bar (abs.) intake pressure.

To achieve correct pump speed the following is required:

• Oil level approx. 0.5 m above pump inlet

• Correctly dimensioned suction pipe

• Original suction nipple

• Correctly designed hydraulic fluid reservoir

The flow speed in the suction pipes should be less than

1 m/s. Poor suction conditions lead to cavitation, high
noise levels, shorter operational lifetime and, in the worst
case, pump failure.
