Narrative:
At approximately 13000 ft on departure; we got a right hydraulic pressure low light (right hydraulic quantity normal) followed shortly by a rudder control manual light. Since we had just made a maximum power/maximum weight takeoff; an emergency was declared with ATC; and vectors requested to burn fuel while we consulted the QRH. After reviewing the procedures in the QRH; contacting air carrier maintenance and dispatch; it was determined that we had lost the right engine driven hydraulic pump. As per QRH procedures; we turned off the faulty pump and used the auxiliary pump to re-pressurize the right system. We next canceled the emergency with ATC and proceeded on flight plan to ZZZ1. All other indications were and remained normal throughout the flight.

Title: A MD80 R ENG DRIVE HYD PUMP FAILED AFTER TKOF. THE AUX PUMP WAS USED AS PER THE QRH. THE FLT CONTINUED TO ITS DEST.
Narrative: AT APPROX 13000 FT ON DEP; WE GOT A R HYD PRESSURE LOW LIGHT (R HYD QUANTITY NORMAL) FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY A RUDDER CTL MANUAL LIGHT. SINCE WE HAD JUST MADE A MAX PWR/MAX WT TKOF; AN EMER WAS DECLARED WITH ATC; AND VECTORS REQUESTED TO BURN FUEL WHILE WE CONSULTED THE QRH. AFTER REVIEWING THE PROCS IN THE QRH; CONTACTING ACR MAINT AND DISPATCH; IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE HAD LOST THE R ENG DRIVEN HYD PUMP. AS PER QRH PROCS; WE TURNED OFF THE FAULTY PUMP AND USED THE AUX PUMP TO RE-PRESSURIZE THE R SYS. WE NEXT CANCELED THE EMER WITH ATC AND PROCEEDED ON FLT PLAN TO ZZZ1. ALL OTHER INDICATIONS WERE AND REMAINED NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE FLT.
