Misconceptions about Hydraulic Systems and Stored Energy |
| 1. | If the hydraulic pump is shut off, there is no pressure in the system. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 2. | When a hydraulic pump is shut off, the stored energy immediately dissipates within the system. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 3. | If you activate a manual directional control valve with the hydraulic pump shut off, the system will bleed off. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 4. | Activating the override pushpin on a solenoid-operated, directional control valve with the hydraulic pump shut off will de-energize the system. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 5. | A hydraulic system cannot be de-energized by "cracking" (loosening) a connector and allowing the stored energy to vent to atmosphere. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 6. | When a hydraulic system is equipped with an accumulator, the accumulator will automatically de-energize when the pump is shut off. | TRUE or FALSE |
| 7. | Sound is a reliable means of knowing when an accumulator is de-energized. | TRUE or FALSE |
