Driving machines shall be powered by electric or
						hydraulic motors. Hydraulic units, where used shall be electrically driven. The
						hydraulic drive shall consist of an oil storage tank, a hydraulic pump and a
						hydraulic motor brake and shall conform to the following requirements:
(1) Valves, piping and fittings shall not be
					 subjected to working pressures exceeding those recommended by the manufacturer
					 for the type of service for which they are used.

					 eliminate undue stresses at joints and fittings, particularly at any section of
					 the line subject to vibration.
(3)
					 Flexible connections shall--where installed in high pressure lines--have a
					 bursting strength of not less than three times the working pressure. Flexible
					 joints may be used in hydraulic lines connecting control or check valves to the
					 motor provided the failure of the flexible sealing element shall not permit
					 separation of the parts connected.
(4) Each pump or group of pumps shall be
					 equipped with a relief valve conforming to the following requirements:
(A) The relief valve shall be located between
					 the pump and the check valve and shall be of such a type and so installed in a
					 bypass connection that the valve cannot be shutoff from the hydraulic
					 system.
(B) The relief valve shall
					 be preset to open at a pressure not greater than 125 percent of the working
					 pressure at the pump.
(C) The size
					 of the relief valve and bypass shall be sufficient to pass the maximum rated
					 capacity of the pump without raising the pressure more than 20 percent above
					 that at which the valve opens. Two or more relief valves may be used to obtain
					 the required capacity.
(D) Relief
					 valves having exposed pressure adjustments, if used, shall have their means of
					 adjustment sealed after being set to the correct pressure.
(5) An electric interlock shall be provided
					 to prevent the start or the movement of the hoist car unless the pump operates
					 at the normal operating speed and pressure.
(6) The brake shall remain in applied
					 position until the pump operates at the normal operating speed and pressure and
					 the movement of the hoist car is initiated.
(7) All components of the hydraulic system
					 shall be shielded.
