The pumps are connected in series by center manifold (13) . Both pumps are variable displacement piston pumps. The displacement is controlled by regulators (2) . The front pump and the rear pump are identical in construction and operation. The front pump and the rear pump are equipped with a common charge pump (18) that is located within center manifold (13) .Charge pump (18) is a fixed displacement pump that consists of an impeller. Charge pump (18) draws oil from inlet port (11) in center manifold (13) . The charge pump delivers oil to the front pump and the rear pump. The front pump delivers oil through outlet port (4) in center manifold (13) . The rear pump delivers oil through outlet port (6) in center manifold (13) .The pump regulators (2) are mounted on center manifold (13) . Both the front pump and the rear pump have a regulator as part of the pump control system. The control system is identical for both pumps.Two pressure inputs are supplied to each regulator. The pressure inputs to the regulators control the output of the pump. Power shift pressure and load sensing signal pressure are inputs to the regulators. Each regulator (2) consists of constant power regulator (17) and load sensing regulator (16) . The power shift pressure signal flows through port (12) and port (14) to each regulator. The duplicate load signal pressure or the true load signal pressure flows to the regulators through port (10) and port (15) . In addition, oil from the pilot pump is delivered to each of the front and rear pumps through port (5) and port (7) . Note: Pilot oil that is delivered to port (5) and port (7) are inputs for pump control. The pilot pressure is used when the system pressure is lower than the pilot system pressure.Operation
