🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow path in a hydraulic starting system (from storage to motor) • Function of an accumulator vs a reservoir • Role of hand/electric pumps in charging the system, not directly driving the motor

💭 Think About

• Which component actually stores pressurized oil that is immediately available to spin the starting motor? • What is the difference between a low-pressure storage tank and a high-pressure energy-storage device? • Do the hand or electric pumps normally supply oil directly to the motor, or do they first build pressure somewhere else?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component holds oil at starting pressure and can release it quickly to the motor • Distinguish between pressure storage (energy) and volume storage (supply tank) • Confirm that pumps are mainly used to charge the system, not to be the direct source during the start sequence
