Description
The hauler A30C is articulated and has a hydro-mechanical steering system with feed-back between the trailer unit and the
steering valve on the tractor unit.
The steering system is connected in parallel with the tipping system and these systems have hydraulic pumps in common.
However, the steering system has priority over the tipping system to safeguard the steering function.
The steering system is also equipped with a ground-dependent hydraulic pump that is used for the secondary steering
system. This secondary steering pump also always supplies oil to the primary steering system when the machine is moving.
The steering valve, which is of the closed centre type, is actuated by the steering wheel via a steering gear and linkage. The
steering valve directs the oil to the two steering cylinders when the steering wheel is turned and the linkage displaces the
steering valve spool away from the neutral position.
Because the linkage is connected to the steering joint, the steering valve spool will be returned to neutral, when the steering
angle of the machine, is in proportion to the movement of the steering wheel. Conversely the valve spool is also moved out
of the neutral position if the steering angle of the machine is changed by external forces even though the position of the
steering wheel is unchanged. The movements of the steering valve spool are limited by mechanical stops.

To safeguard the function of the steering gear, it should be checked at regular intervals. This is particularly important if the
machine is operated in dusty environment.
Check the steering gear as follows:
1. Place the machine straight on level ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn off the ignition.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the left until stop.

Release the steering wheel. It should then return to its starting position or close to it.
Carry out the corresponding manoeuvre to the right, [Invalid linktarget] .
If the steering wheel does not return or binds, the steering gear and he steering linkage must be checked more
thoroughly.

General
Check that the machine does not make an unusual steering movement at the moment of starting. A slight steering
movement is due to normal drag in the transmission.
Test drive and check that the steering is stable, light and accurate. There must not be any excessive play in the linkage.
If the steering responds to rapid steering movements in an erratic and "nervous" way, this may be caused by the damping
cylinder or its connections to the steering valve, (restrictions or change-over valves 12f and 12g), see [Invalid linktarget] .
If the steering feels sluggish at low engine speed, this may be caused by the stand-by pressures of the hydraulic pumps not
being the same, see Hydraulic diagram, complete, page 9:22.
Check that the steering cylinder stroke is the same in both directions.
Check on a stationary machine by making rapid steering movements and then letting go of the steering wheel, that the
machine does not have a tendency to self steer. If the machine has a tendency to self steer, check the neutral position of the
steering valve spool.

Description
Pressure build-up, engine-dependent pumps
1, 2 and 4
See hydraulic diagram in Section 9 and [Invalid linktarget] and [Invalid linktarget] .
The engine is running and the machine is parked.
The oil from pumps (1), (2) and (4) is supplied to steering valve (12) (neutral position) and through the same to tipping valve
(17). Pumps 1, 2 and 4 are connected to each other via hoses and ducts in the non-return valve block (9). Pump 2 and
tipping valve 17 are also connected to a by-pass allowing the oil to flow past the steering valve. Pump 1 is prioritised for the
steering function and is therefore also connected to the steering valve at its connection P2.
The pressure is built up to the steering valve, the tipping valve and the non-return valve in non-return valve block (9).
Pressure sensor (22) in non-return valve block (9) receives pressure on both sides because the spring keeps the sensor citcuit
interrupted. Pressure sensor (23) in non-return valve block (10) receives pressure on one side, the spring is compressed and
the sensor circuit is closed. The compensator valve on the pump is actuated through internal ducts and the pump angles
down. Stand-by pressure now exists at the valves. At this stage the pressure is approx. 2.4 MPa (24 bar) (348 psi) and is only
determined by the spring pressure in the compensator valve, as no pressure so far has been received form the steering
system up to the C-connection on the compensator.
In neutral position the steering valve permits a small, controlled oil flow between its connection P2 and connections A and B
to the steering cylinders. An equally large oil flow is also permitted between connections A – B and connection T4 for the
line to the tank. The pressure is built up to the steering cylinders (15), damping cylinders (13), shock valves (12c) and (d),
anti-cavitation valves (12a) and (b) and change-over valves (12e), (f) and (g).
Pressure also builds up via change-over valves (12e), (f) and (g) to the C-connection on the compensator valves on pumps
(1), (2), (4) and (16). The pressure in pumps (1), (2) and (4) rises correspondingly. At the same time oil is forced out from the
steering valve connections A and B to its connection T4 and is returned to the tank via non-return valve (11a) against its
opening pressure of approx. 1.2 MPa (12 bar) (174 psi). The level of the pressure in the LS-line (Load-Sensing line) may vary
depending on pressure arising in the tank line between the steering valve and non-return valve (11a.)
Figure 1
Steering valve connections
The stand-by pressure at the outlet from pumps (1), (2) and (4) is 3.5–4.5 MPa (35–45 bar) (508–653 psi), which is the sum of
the LS (Load-Sensing) pressure 1.2 MPa (12 bar) (174 psi) and the spring pressure in the compensator valve 2.4 MPa (24 bar)
(348 psi).
P = C + FP = pressure at pump outlet
C = pressure in LS (Load-Sensing) line
F = spring pressure in the compensator valve
Pressure build-up, ground-dependent pump 16
The engine is running and the machine is operating forward.
There is LS (Load-Sensing) pressure at the C connection on the compensator. When the pump turns in the correct direction
(the machine is operated forwards) pressure builds up at the non-return valves in non-return valve block (10) and on the left
side of sensor (23). Its spring pressure is reduced and the circuit in the sensor is interrupted. The compensator valve on the
pump is actuated via internal ducts and the pump angles down as there is no oil flow. The stand-by pressure is now the
same at the outlets from pumps (1), (2), (4) and (16).
Steering function, engine-dependent pumps 1, 2 and 4
The steering valve spool is displaced upward and connection P2 on pumps (1), (2) and (4) are now connected to the steering
cylinders via connection A. Pressure builds up at the A connections on the steering cylinders and the pistons are actuated
from the piston side or the piston rod side respectively. At the same time pressure builds up via change-over valves (12e), (f)
and (g) at damping cylinder (13) and at the end surface of the valve spool. The valve spool is stabilised. The pressure is now
also the same in the LS (Load-Sensing) line at the C connection on the compensator. The compensator valve is actuated and
adapts the flow and pressure of the pumps to the existing requirements.
Pressure sensor 22 (SE15) and pressure sensor 23 (SE9), description of function and checking
The control lamp for the primary steering system should be alight when the bulb test is carried out.
When the ignition key is turned to running position, the lamps for the primary steering system and the secondary steering
system will light up and remain on for approx. 4 seconds.
Should the engine stop while operating, the oil pressure from the secondary steering pump will actuate the primary steering
system pressure sensor (23) (SE9) and the control lamp (LC15, amber) lights up.
If a fault should arise in any of the circuits, the central warning will be activated (the lamp LC6 will flash and the buzzer SA4
will sound).
The monitoring system includes time and speed criteria, which prevents the central warning from being activated when the
machine is stationary or is reversing. For the secondary steering system applies that also the forward gear in the
transmission has to be engaged.
Restrictions C2 and C3 in valve block 11
If a leakage should arise on the LS (Load-sensing) line between C2 and the engine-dependent hydraulic pumps (the control
lamp indicating that the primary steering system is out of order lights up) the LS (Load-sensing) pressure to the secondary
steering pump is maintained because of restriction C2. The secondary steering pump can thus provide sufficient flow to the
steering valve.
The opposite applies for C3, if a leakage should arise on the LS (Load-sensing) line between C3 and the secondary steering
pump.
Change-over valves 11b and 12e
The purpose of these valves is to select the highest LS (Load-sensing) pressure from the tipping valve or the A or B ports on
the steering cylinders to the C connections on the hydraulic pumps, so that the pumps can angle out and provide the
required flow.
Anti-cavitation and pressure-limiting valves (shock valves) 12a, b, c and d
To prevent partial vacuum or too high pressure spikes in the steering cylinders, there are two anti-cavitation valves and two
pressure-limiting valves of 30 MPa (300 bar) (4351 psi) in the steering valve.
Non-return valve with back-pressure function, 11a
To safeguard supply of oil to the steering valve and
the steering cylinders (i.e. to prevent cavitation) there is a non-return valve with back-pressure function 1.2 MPa (12 bar)
(174 psi) installed in the valve block.
