• The power of engine (1) is transmitted to HST
pump (3) through damper (2) which is installed to
the flywheel and which absorbs the torsional vi-
bration of the power,
• The power of engine (1) is also transmitted to
HST pump (3), HST charge pump built in HST
pump (3), work equipment and steering pump (4)
connected to HST pump (3), brake and cooling
fan pump (5), and transfer lubricating oil pump
(6).
• HST pump (3) is equipped with the forward-re-
verse shifting valve and servo piston, which
changes the discharge direction and discharge
rate of HST pump (3) continuously by changing
the swash plate angle.
• HST motors (8) and (9) are installed to transfer
(11) and connected to HST pump (3) by high-
pressure hose (7).
• The turning direction and speed of HST motors
(8) and (9) are changed by the hydraulic power of
HST pump (3) to control the travel direction and
travel speed of the machine.
• The power of HST motor 1 (8) is transmitted
through transfer clutch (12) in transfer (11) to the
output shaft.
The power of HST motor 2 (9) is transmitted
through the gear in transfer (11) to the output
shaft.
• Parking brake (13) is installed on the rear side in
transfer (11). It operates the wet multiple disc
brake to stop the machine according to the oper-
ation of the parking brake lever.
• The power for the front side is transmitted
through front drive shaft (14) to front axle (15).
The power for the rear side is transmitted
through rear drive shaft (20) to rear axle (21).
• The power transmitted to axles (15) and (21) is
reduced in speed by the pinion gears of differen-
tials (16) and (22), and then transmitted through
the sun gear shaft to the sun gear.
• The power of the sun gear is reduced in speed by
the planetary mechanisms of final drives (18) and
(24), and then transmitted through the axle shaft
and wheels to tires (19) and (25).

• The power from the output shaft of the transfer is
transmitted through front drive shaft (2) and rear
drive shaft (4) to front axle (1) and rear axle (5).
• When the machine is articulated or it receives an
impact from the road during travel or a working
impact, the positions of the transfer and front and
rear axles change. The drive shafts can change
their angles and lengths by means of the univer-
sal joints and sliding joints so that the power will
be transmitted without damaging any part even
when the positions of the components change
because of the impacts.

HST PUMP

24. WA150-5H 10-11
STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND MAINTENANCE STANDARD
Operation
Flow of power
• The HST pump is installed to the coupling which
is installed to the engine flywheel.
• The power of the engine is transmitted from the
flywheel through the coupling to the HST pump.
• The HST pump is equipped with forward-reverse
shifting solenoid valve (1) and servo cylinder (6).
If the operator operates for forward or reverse
travel, forward-reverse shifting solenoid valve (1)
operates and swash plate (11) in the HST pump
slants to reverse the oil flow.
• Cylinder block (9) and pistons (10) in it rotate to-
gether with drive shaft (12) and the tips of pistons
(10) slide on swash plate (11) which does not ro-
tate. The pump has 9 pistons (10) in it.
Flow of oil
• As swash plate (11) of the HST pump slants, pis-
tons (10) in contact with its surface reciprocate
and work as pumps to suck and discharge the oil
in cylinder block (9).
• As a result, high-pressure oil flows in a constant
direction into the HST motor.
• If swash plate (11) slants in the opposite direc-
tion, the sucking and discharging directions of the
oil are reversed, that is, the oil flows in the oppo-
site direction. While swash plate (11) is in neu-
tral, pistons (10) do not reciprocate, thus they do
not discharge any oil.
• The strokes of pistons (10) are changed to con-
trol the travel speed by increasing or decreasing
inclination (angle) of swash plate (11).
• If the quantity of the oil in the low-pressure circuit
(the return circuit from the motor to the pump) be-
comes insufficient because of leakage from the
HST pump, HST motor, and control valve, the
charge pump adds oil through speed-related
valve (3) and check valve of high-pressure relief
valve (7).
