Question 27Motor Plants - QMED

The correct answer is D) pump and the starting motor. The accumulator in a hydraulic starting system is typically located between the pump and the starting motor. The accumulator's role is to store hydraulic pressure, which is then used to crank the engine during the starting process. By positioning the accumulator in this location, it can receive pressurized fluid from the pump and then release that stored energy to the starting motor when needed, providing the necessary force to start the engine. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the typical placement of the accumulator in a hydraulic starting system. The accumulator is not located between the pump and the compressor (A), the storage tank and the pump (B), or the starting motor and the reserve tank (C).
