TM 1-1520-240-102-6-1SECTION VI. HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS2-6-1. Hydraulic Power Supply System.The hydraulic power supply system consists of threeseparate systems. They are the No. 1 flight control sy-stem, No. 2 flight control system, and a utility system.Each system includes a variable delivery pump and res-ervoir cooler. In addition, each flight control system hasa power control module, and the utility system has apressure control module. Each flight control system isconnected to the utility system by a Power Transfer Unit(PTU). All systems are serviced by a common fill moduleand are pressurized to prevent pump cavitation.2-6-2. Flight Control Systems.The No. 1 and No. 2 flight control systems are identical.they ar parallel in operation, hydraulically separated, andelectrically integrated. The flight control system operateat approximately 3,000 psi, which is reduced to 1,500 psifor ILCA operation. They power four upper dual boostactuators (3,000 psi) and four ILCAs (1,500 psi). Eachflight control system powers one piston of each actuator.No. 1 flight control system is pressurized by a pump onthe forward transmission. No. 2 system is pressurized bya pump on the aft transmission. The power control mod-ules consist of pressure-line and return-line filters. No.1system power control module is in the forward pylon. No.2 system power control module is in the aft pylon. Theaccumulators dampen low frequency pressure surgesand provide stored hydraulic power for peak loads.The PTU in each system allows ground checkout of theflight control systems with the rotors stopped. Each PTUconsists of a pump driven by a hydraulic motor which ispressurized by the utility hydraulic system. The PTU’sare controlled by the PWR XFER 1 and 2 switches on theHYD panel in the overhead switch panel.2-6-3. FLT CONTR Switch.The FLT CONTR (flight control) switch is located on theHYD panel in the overhead switch panel (fig. 2-6-1). It isa three-position center locked switch labeled 2 ON,BOTH, and 1 ON. this switch can be used to turn off oneof the flight control systems, provided the other one isoperating. Turning off one of the flight control hydraulicsystems disables the corresponding AFCS and causesthe remaining AFCS to make full corrections. In addition,the respective AFCS OFF and HYD FLT CONTR cautioncapsules will illuminate. The FLT CONTR switch shall beset to BOTH during all flight conditions.At BOTH , both solenoid valves are deenergized openand both flight control systems are pressurized. Whenthe FLT CONTR switch is set to 1 ON, the two-way sole-noid valve on No. 2 power control module is energizedclosed. This causes No. 2 pressure-operated valve toclose, depressurizing No. 2 system. When the FLTCONTR switch is moved to 2 ON, the two-way solenoidvalve on No. 2 power control module is deenergizedopen, and No. 2 system is pressurized. Simultaneously,No. 1 solenoid valve closes and No. 1 system is turnedoff.2-6-4. Utility Hydraulic System.The utility hydraulic system supplies hydraulic power tothe wheel brakes, power steering actuator, swivel locks,centering cams, ramp actuating cylinders, hydraulic car-go door motor, actuator for the center cargo hook, cargo/rescue winch control valve, two engine starters. PTU;sand APU start circuit. When the APU is running, the utilityhydraulic system is pressurized by an APU driven pump.When the APU is not running and the rotors are turning,the utility hydraulic system is pressurized by an aft trans-mission driven pump.The utility hydraulic system incorporates a pressure con-trol module which isolates utility subsystems from eachother. When a failure occurs in one utility hydraulic sub-system, the remaining subsystems continue to operatenormally if the BRK STEER and RAMP PWR switches inthe cockpit are set to OFF.The APU starting subsystem of the utility hydraulic sys-tem includes three accumulators which accelerate theAPU to start, maintain reservoir pressure throughout thestart cycle, and control operation of the APU motor pump.The APU starting subsystem also includes a two-stagehand pump for charging the APU start accumulators. TheAPU is normally recharged by the APU motor-pump afterthe APU is started. An additional accumulator in thebrake system provides for limited brake operation in theevent of utility hydraulic system failure. the steering sys-tem also has an accumulator to keep the swivel locksengaged when the BRK STEER switch is OFF.Normal operating pressure range for the utility hydraulicsystem is 2500 to 3500 psi. During APU operation pres-sure is increased to approximately 3350 psi for enginestarting.
