Questions and Answers

What is the main function of the electric dump valve?

  • Purge pressure in the hydraulic system to the hydraulic tank when not powered
  • Maintain pressure in the system when the hydraulic pump is turned on
  • Release hydraulic pressure from the piping and accumulator when the hydraulic pump is off (correct)
  • Control the flow and pressure of the pneumatic system

What is the purpose of the manual dump valve?

  • Ensure there is no pressure in the system for maintenance (correct)
  • Control the flow and pressure of the pneumatic system
  • Maintain pressure in the system when the hydraulic pump is turned on
  • Release hydraulic pressure from the piping and accumulator when the hydraulic pump is off

What could happen if the electric dump valve does not work properly?

  • Hydraulic pressure could remain in the equipment, creating a dangerous situation (correct)
  • The hydraulic pump will not reach its normal pressure when running
  • The hydraulic system will lose all pressure
