1. The reservoir auto-bleed valve vents air from the reservoir.
1. The visual indicator lets you see the fluid quantity in the reservoir.
2. The indicator is on the forward end of each reservoir.
3. The quantity indications for the indicator are:

- REFILL (red band).
4. The visual quantity indications are not compensated for temperature.
1. The reservoir relief valve
protects the low pressure
portion of the reservoir
from over-pressure
conditions.
2. The unwanted pressure and
fluid go overboard through a
tube to the drain mast.
1. The reservoir suction shutoff valve makes sure the reservoir does not lose
all fluid if there is a leak in the system.
2. For the left and right systems, if there is a leak in the engine hydraulic
tubing, the low fluid level causes the piston to make contact with the valve
standpipe.
- This shuts off fluid flow to the EDP to prevent loss of all fluid.
- This makes sure the EMP L has enough fluid to operate the flight controls.
3. The main gear replenish line supplies the landing gear when it is being
extended. This is in the center tank only.
2. The valve is usually closed.
3. The valve uses an optical sensor that senses air in the reservoir.
4. When the sensor senses air, it sends data to the HYDIF.
5. The HYDIF sends a signal to energize solenoid to open the auto-bleed
valve and send the air out of the reservoir.
6. The auto-bleed valve operates when the airplane:
- Is on the ground and Has electrical power.
1. Senses fluid pressure in the reservoir.
2. There is a transducer on each reservoir.
3. Pressure data goes to the HYDIF.
4. The HYDIF uses the data from these transducers
for system control and indication.
1. Each reservoir has a drain valve on the lower,
forward part of each tank.
2. Use the drain valve to remove fluid from the
reservoir.
The manual bleed valve lets you:
- Get fluid samples for analysis.
- Manually bleed air from the reservoir.
1. hydraulic quantity linear variable differential transformer (LVDT)
senses the fluid quantity in the reservoir.
2. There is one LVDT on each reservoir.
3. The LVDTs send the quantity data to the HYDIF.
4. Quantity shows in tank units (0.00 = empty and 1.00 = full).
5. The electronic quantity indications are temperature compensated.
1. Senses fluid temperature in the reservoir.
2. There is a transducer on each reservoir.
3. It sends the data to the HYDIF for control and indication.
- The left & right from the respective MEDC and the center from an RDC.
1. Each reservoir has a depressurization valve.
2. Valve opens when there is too much pressure in the low pressure
chamber.
- Fluid flows to the low pressure side of the reservoir to decrease the
pressure.
3. To manually depressurize the reservoir, turn the depressurization
valve knob.
- This releases pressure on the piston that pressurizes the reservoir.
4. The reservoirs must be depressurized for some maintenance
procedures
such as component removal and replacement.
1. Accumulator charging manifold (ACM) to charge the accumulator.
2. The manifold has a pressure gage and a charging valve.
1. There are 4 accumulators in the hydraulic system: Left, Right, Center, NLG
2. The left, right, and center system accumulators:
- Absorb pressure changes caused by system operation and Keep positive pressure
in the system when the pumps do not operate, Prevents HYD pumps from
cavitation during in-flight restart.
3. The nose landing gear accumulator decreases pressure surges during
operation of the landing gear and high lift system.
 1. The 3 case drain filter modules remove particles from the related hydraulic pumps case drain fluid.
- Pumps use this fluid for cooling and lubrication.
2. There is a filter module for each hydraulic system.
3. Each module has these components:
- 2 filter bowls with filter elements
- Differential pressure transducers
- EDP temperature transducer (left and right systems only)
- 2 check valves (one downstream of each filter)
- Thermal bypass valve.
1. The case drain filter module thermal bypass valve opens and
closes to control the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
2. At low temperatures, the valve is open.
- Fluid goes from the case drain filter to the return line.
3. When the fluid temperature increases, the valve closes to send
the fluid to the heat exchanger.

Each return filter module has a replaceable,

non-cleanable micronic filter element.

1. The case drain filter module differential pressure transducers measure the pressure
difference between the inlet and outlet sides of the 3 case drain filter modules.
- High pressure means there is a clogged filter.
2. The transducers send the pressure data to the hydraulic interface function (HYDIF).
3. The HYDIF:
- Monitors the pressure
- Determines a clogged filter condition
- Makes an EICAS message.
4. There are no mechanical pop-out indicators on these filters.

1. The EDP case drain filter module temperature transducer senses fluid temperature of the output of the EDP.
2. There is a sensor on the left and right case drain filter modules for the EDP outputs.
3. Indications show in 3 locations:
- Hydraulic synoptic page (shows as an overheat indication)
- Maintenance pages (shows temperature F)
- Hydraulic panel FAULT lights.
4. The EMP (if selected auto) and EDPs do an automatic shutdown in an overheat condition.
- The pumps restart when temperature decreases to a safe value.
 1. Each of the 3 pressure filter modules has a system
pressure transducer that senses system pressure.
2. Pressure data (psi) shows on:
- Status page
- Maintenance pages
- Hydraulic synoptic display

1. The pressure filter module differential

pressure indicator shows when it is
necessary to change the filter.
2. A red button pops up when the filter clogs.

1. The left and right pressure filter

modules have an engine-driven pump
(EDP) pressure filter module pressure
transducer. The transducer senses output
pressure from the EDPs.
2. Pressure data shows in these places:
- Maintenance pages - shows pressure
(psi) for each pump
- Hydraulic panel FAULT light - comes on
when pressure is less than 2000 psi.
1. The electric motor pump (EMP) pressure filter module pressure transducers
sense the output pressure of the electric motor pumps (L, R, C1, and C2).
2. There is a transducer on each of the pressure filter modules.
1. The ground service supply and return quick disconnects let you pressurize the
3. Pressure data shows in these places:

- Maintenance pages - shows pressure (psi) for each pump
2. The fittings for the left, right, and center systems are on the related pressure

3. Use the connections to pressurize the systems for ground checks.
