There is no transfer of hydraulic fluids between any of the 3 hydraulic systems, (in order to provide protection in the event of fluid loss). Any graphic suggesting otherwise is simply wrong! The PTU is a hydraulic pump connected to a hydraulic motor by a mechanical shaft. The pump and motor are identical and can in fact switch function, depending on which hydraulic system has the lowest pressure.
