Abstract
A method is provided for, when necessary, automatically limiting a pressure in a hydraulic system during operation. A system is arranged to deliver pressurized hydraulic fluid to at least one fluid actuated device arranged to perform a work function, where the procedure includes sensing a pressure in at least one position of the system, comparing the detected pressure value, or an associated value, with a first predefined pressure limit, and opening a communication of fluid between the fluid actuated device and a reservoir through a first conduit if the sensed pressure value, or an associated value, exceeds the predefined limit.
