RESERVOIR AIR PRESSURIZATION
All three reservoirs are pressurized to 50 psi to prevent pump
cavitations.
The non-return valves in each reservoir supply manifold, make sure
that the pressure will be maintained for up to 12 hours after engine
shutdown on ground, and for up to 3 hours following a failure of the
air supply in flight.
Each reservoir has a depressurization valve on its associated service
panel. For long time depressurization, a depressurization tool may be
installed on the depressurization valve.
A 77 psi pressure relief valve is installed onto the supply manifold at
each reservoir.
All tree reservoirs are pressurized from Engine 1 for normal supply
and the bleed air system for alternate supply at 43 psi.
The air pressurization manifold has a ground supply connection.
It is put into the blue hydraulic bay and regulates normal or ground
supply to 50 psi.
Cleanable filters have clogging indicators.
There are two water drains, one is automatic after engines and APU
shut down, and the other is manually operated.
U3T06191 - U1QT0M0 - UM29BA000000001
After maintenance on the hydraulic system, the reservoir pressurization

can be done via a pneumatic ground cart connected to the reservoir
pressure unit, the APU, or the pneumatic system ground connection.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The following Aircraft Configuration is needed for a correct fluid
level check and servicing:
- the speed brakes and spoilers must be retracted,
- the thrust reversers stowed,
- the cargo doors closed,
- all system accumulators empty of fluid,
- the accumulators pre-charge pressure must be checked,
- the reservoirs pressurized with air,
- the landing gear must be in down position with the landing gear
doors closed (one door may be open),
- and the brake accumulator may be pressurized with fluid.

SERVICING - FLUID LEVEL CHECK

RESERVOIR FILLING
Switch on the yellow electric pump to make sure that the brake
accumulator is pressurized, then switch the pump off.
Connect the selected servicing source to the green servicing panel.
When the panel hand pump is used, connect the hose to the hand pump
and insert it into the fluid container, and then install the pump handle.
The handle is stowed at the yellow servicing panel.
When the external pump is used, connect the lower filling port and
set the minimum flow, do not exceed 435 psi.
Then select the reservoir to be filled, confirming associated light is
ON, and fill with fluid to the upper end of the scale.
NOTE: Over filling the reservoir will result in an inadequate

pressurization.
The reservoir level is also affected by large changes in ambient
temperature. For every 10 °C change, the green volume changes by
0.85 Lt, the blue volume changes by 0.51 Lt, and the yellow volume
changes by 0.64 Lt.

BLEEDING
If you have filled the reservoir after:
- maintenance,
- or removal/installation of large hydraulic components,
- or hydraulic fluid low level (loss of the hydraulic system),
- or high loss of hydraulic fluid,
Do the related bleeding procedure to make sure that the quantity of
hydraulic fluid in the system is correct.
After maintenance of the hydraulic system upstream of the EDP,
loosen the nut of the case drain hose so that the air (or hydraulic fluid
mixed with air bubbles) comes out of the connection. Check:
- make sure that the air pressure in the reservoir of the associated
hydraulic system is not less than 50 psi (if necessary, pressurize the
reservoir),
- read the gauge of the associated reservoir and make a note of the
fluid level,
- depressurize the reservoir of the associated hydraulic system,
- after 5 minutes, read the gauge again and make a note of the level,
- compare both levels,
- if the difference between both levels is more than 2 liters, do the
U3T06191 - U1QT0M0 - UM29BA000000001
bleeding procedures again until the result is satisfactory.

EXTERNAL LEAK TEST OF COMPONENTS
A leak is the quantity of fluid that comes out of a component and that
is sufficient to become a drop or drops, or will possibly become a
drop of approximately 20 drops =1 cc, and 75600 drops =1 gallon.
A leakage is a quantity of fluid on the surface of a component that is
not sufficient to become a drop.
A stain is an area on the surface of a component that has a different
color. It is usually caused when fluid leakage becomes dry on the
component surface after a high temperature operation.
For a correct analysis of component leak rates, you must obey the
subsequent steps:
- the seal obtained at hydraulic tube connections is obtained on
metal-to-metal surfaces. If a leak cannot be stopped by tightening the
nut to the specified torque, the joint is probably defective and should
be repaired.
- when possible, activate components for some cycles before carrying
out the external leakage check.
- dynamic seals are easy to examine for leakage while in the static
condition because pistons, slide valves and swivel joints move only
during a short time interval. Many components cannot be obviously
U3T06191 - U1QT0M0 - UM29BA000000001
monitored during operation.

- by following the AMM procedure operate the related component,
- after operation, inspect the component. If there is a sign of any
external leakage, compare the quantity of leakage with the values
given in the AMM table for specified limits.

DAILY CHECKS
During the daily check the reservoirs quantity indication on the ECAM
display unit have to be checked.
In case of incorrect findings during this check, the related AMM tasks
have to be done to restore the system to normal status or to readjust
quantities and pressures to nominal values.
In case of hydraulic fluid level find below normal, the system needs to
be refilled using the Hand Pump or a Hydraulic Service Cart.
In case of hydraulic fluid level find above normal, the system needs to
be drained.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
PTU
PTU inhibition is achieved by closing the solenoid valves (they are
fail safe open) at the PTU manifolds, and for maintenance actions by
also disconnecting the coupling on the yellow (right) side of the unit.
The PTU operation is inhibited at first engine start and during cargo
door operation.
NOTE: At the second engine start, the inhibition is removed when

the second engine master switch is set to ON then the PTU
will operate momentarily for self test purpose.
RAT
The RAT can be tested on ground by using the Ground Check Module.
A RAT retraction module controls the RAT stowage procedure, it is
located on the blue servicing panel.
NOTE: To avoid any extension during maintenance work a RAT

safety tool must be installed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
U3T06191 - U1QT0M0 - UM29BA000000001
To prevent an unwanted operation of the PTU, the isolation coupling

must be disconnected.
Keep the RAT extension area clear of ground equipment and
personnel. Install the RAT safety device before to work in the RAT
area.

DETECTOR
The system has a current transformer and a phase unbalance detector
which protect the electric circuit from the electric pump. When there is
a fault, the detector gets a signal from the current transformer. It uses this
signal to stop the supply of power to relay and thus stop the motor. When
the unit has operated, it stays in that condition until it is set again. This
happens automatically when the supply of power to the unit is stopped
(through operation of P/BSW HYD/BLUE/ELEC PUMP) and then started
again (and there is no fault signal from the current transformer).

degrees. Pay attention to protect your hands and your face from the air,
which comes out when you open the manual depressurization valves of
the reservoirs. The air can be hot and contain hydraulic fluid. Listen if
all of the air has been released. The pressure drops down as you can see
on the air pressure gauge of the reservoir. Keep the depressurization valve
open, if it is necessary to depressurize a reservoir during a maintenance
operation. This prevents accidental pressurization of a reservoir. The

Shown is the ground control unit box, which contains the control unit
and the electrical cable. The identification label is located outside the
box on the top cover. When the box is opened, in the top cover is still
electrical cable, which must be connected to the control unit and to
the RAT control panel test plug. On the ground control unit is fitted
two digital indicators. The left inside indicator is to monitor the speed
of the RAT. The RH side is to monitor the pressure delivered by RAT
pump. On the RH side lower part is located the power switch with its
red indicator light and on the LH side the electrical fuse. Here is the
hydraulic motor, which has to be installed on the gearbox after removal
of the back cover plate. The motor is fitted with the three screws. The
supplant shaft drives the hydraulic pump shaft through the turbine
pump shaft. Its hydraulic supply is a hydraulic ground cart via two
self-sealing couplings. This unit is used to create a flow in blue
hydraulic circuit, to check the flow and pressure regulation of the
RAT pump. Here is the valve to control the bypass flow.
On the opposite side is located the monitoring indicators:
- a digital flow meter indicator, a pressure indicator, a temperature
indicator and on/off switch.

contaminant. It can eat paint and decals. When hydraulic fluid is allowed
to penetrate a composite structure, it will attack the core material and
reduce it to mush. Once a composite assembly has been attacked, its
structural integrity will be lost. To avoid damage caused by twisting,
tearing, and chipping, always lubricate O-rings, packing seals, back-up
rings, and fitting threads with hydraulic fluid before assembly. When
assembling hydraulic system fittings, be sure that seals and back-up rings
are properly positioned before torquing the connection. When installing
an elbow fitting into a component, be sure that all the threads are
completely screwed into the boss. This is to make sure that the O-ring
packing rides in the undercut, and not on the threads. To prevent an elbow
fitting from turning while its lock-nut is being torqued, hold it with a
second wrench.
To make a stress-free installation, be sure that all elbow-to-pipe

packing or seals. Once they have been compressed, they will never regain
their original shape again. Before torquing a B-nut, be sure that the tube
fits squarely into the fitting. Never force or bend a tube to make it fit.
Metal tubes don't stretch. If the piece seems shorter upon reinstallation
or after a component change, something is wrong. Stop! Think! And
investigate the problem before you proceed. Make sure that tubes are not
forced into clamps or line blocks. A stressed installation will lead to a
cracked tube at the nearest fitting or B-nut. And, you can bet it won't be
