8540 thru 8560 and 8580 thru 8618 which incorporate a
fuel pressure switch to prevent accidental engagement of
the hydrostarters when the engine is running.
b. Energy required for hydraulic cranking is
supplied by fluid stored under approximately 3,000 PSI
pressure in two interconnected accumulators. These
accumulators are charged first by a hand operated
hydraulic pump and then by engine driven pumps. They
will not be over-charged during long periods of engine
operation because of pressure control built into the
pumps. There is also a system relief valve set at 3,400
PSI, which is the safe maximum pressure for this
system.
