Abstract
A controller carries out horsepower control to determine a flow rate of a hydraulic pump based on first characteristics and second characteristics, which each define a maximum input setting of the hydraulic pump by a discharge pressure of the hydraulic pump and a flow rate of the hydraulic pump, and based on the discharge pressure. When the discharge pressure is less than a set pressure and when a state where the discharge pressure is equal to or greater than the set pressure has not continued for a set time period, then the controller determines the flow rate based on the first characteristics, and when the state where the discharge pressure is equal to or greater than the set pressure has continued for the set time period, then the controller determines the flow rate based on the second characteristics.
