Abstract

The circuit includes a main pump, a hydraulic motor, two main ducts, a selector for connecting the main ducts to the main pump or to a reservoir or for isolating them therefrom, a boost duct, and two pressure limiters disposed between the main ducts. A relief valve device that can take up a retention position and a relief position in which it connects one main duct (14, 16) to a relief enclosure can take up its relief position when, with the selector isolating the main ducts from the main pump and from the reservoir, the difference between the pressure in the main duct to which the control duct is connected and a relief pressure higher than the boost pressure changes sign.
