A sensor arrangement detects an angle of an actuator which is rotationally arranged on a support. The arrangement includes a first sensor element and a second sensor element. The first sensor element can be coupled to the actuator in order carry out a movement with respect to the support in accordance with a rotation of the actuator. The second sensor element can be rotationally fixed on the support and can be coupled to the first sensor element in order to produce, when rotating the actuator and a thus resulting movement between the first sensor element and the second sensor element, a sensor signal which is dependent on the rotation carried out by the actuator.

In a hydraulic control device switchable between a first state in which a first oil is supplied from a first pump to a hydraulic operation part via a bypass valve and a second state in which the first oil supplied from the first pump is pressurized by using the second pump and the pressurized first oil is supplied, as a second oil, to the hydraulic operation part, control that adds a correction hydraulic pressure of a predetermined amount to the hydraulic pressure of the oil discharged from a valve for adjusting the pressure of the oil supplied to the hydraulic operation part is performed when the second state is switched to the first state due to a stop or a low rotation state of the second pump.
