Illustration 2 g00812698
Illustration 2 shows the major external components of the main pump and swing pump. The pumps work independently of each other. Both of
the pumps have separate locations for adjustments and procedures.
The main pump regulator is mounted below the pump case. The pump regulator consists of a load sensing spool (margin spool) and a
horsepower spool. The M312 Excavator, M315 Excavator and M318 Excavator also have a load sensing orifice spool which maintains a
minimum load sensing pressure.
The swing pump regulator is mounted above the swing pump case. Swing system pilot activation pressure is used to upstroke the swing
pump.

Illustration 3 g00812812
Illustration 3 shows the major internal components of the hydraulic pump. The front pump is the main pump for implement operation and for
travel operation. The rear pump is an independent pump for swing operation. The swing circuit is charged by a gear pump that is driven by the
swing pump. The front pump is driven off the engine flywheel through a flexible coupling. The swing pump is connected to the main pump
drive shaft by using a spline coupling.
The main pump hydraulic flow control is based on the load sensing signal pressure from the main control valve in order to keep the margin
pressure constant. Margin pressure is the difference between the pump delivery pressure and the load sensing pressure ("LS").
The swing pump flow and direction is controlled by the combination of the flow, the pressure, and the torque control.
