Main Pressure Unloading Circuit

Training Solutions
RV-1 set-up test pressure at 800psi
to adjust maximum motor torque,
then re-adjust to 2200 PSI, Adjust
UV-1 to 2000 PSI, manifold and Unloading valve, allows the pump
these valves prevent back flow of to discharge at low pressure to
pressure to pump tank. Circulation cooling the pump.
Restriction causes swash plate to
rock into low flow position.

Pressure switch may need re adjustment if low viscosity or
synthetic fluids are used

Set up RV-2 to 400 PSI, if
additional flow is needed rv-2
should be re-adjusted.

 IBOP Actuator Cylinder - Open

Training Solutions
Path A pressure is temporarily
2000 psi, Path A to CP passes
through LODC, closing CXCD this
allows pressure on both sides of
the cylinder dampening the stroke
to open with 2000 PSI.
Accumulator discharges through
the Flow Control Valve orifice
.010 approximately 40 to 60
seconds then port 3 relieves and
allows PC4 to vent reducing IBOP
open pressure to 400 psi.

CV5 is piloted open while
pump is on and closes
when supply is off or fails.
PCC (variable) adjusts
the balance weight of the
Top Drive to 800 pounds,

 Stand Jump Circuit

PCC drains to tank

through SV9 port B to T.

Training Solutions
Stand Jump coil
activation changes vent
path B to P blind port
(closed). The PCC vent
has to pass through SJR
relief valve, SJR is set to
restrict the PCC vent
pressure higher than
counter balance, this
extra pressure allows the
Top Drive to break out
and lift a stand from the
To Tank Rotary Table.

extending them for easy
release of the Pear-Links
