4-8. HYDRAULIC PUMP MAINTENANCE
This task covers disassembly, cleaning, inspection, and reassembly of hydraulic
pump. It also includes a short theory of operation.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Drive and driven gears turn in gear housing as shown; there is little clearance be-
tween gears and gear housing. Oil comes into area between gear teeth as gear teeth
move out of mesh on inlet side of hydraulic pump. As gears turn, oil is taken around
edge of gear housing. As gear teeth move into mesh again, oil is pushed out of out-
let side of hydraulic pump. Oil from outlet side of hydraulic pump pushes thrust
plates against sides of gears to prevent oil in outlet side from leaking to inlet
side of hydraulic pump; thrust plates are located on both sides of each gear set.
