:
 The steering piston pump oil flowing to the steering accumulators is connected to
the accumulator charging valve at port (9). While the steering piston pump is
charging the steering accumulators, the oil at port (9) will be at low pressure. The
position of the spool in the accumulator charging valve will block the oil at port (8).
Port (8) is connected to the signal line of the pressure compensator valve. Pressure
will increase in this signal line. The pressure compensator valve will keep the
PPW
steering piston pump at maximum flow.

When the steering accumulators are full, the pressure in port (9) will continue to

increase to the cut-out pressure. The cut-out pressure is approximately 18300 kPa

(2650 psi). When the cut-out pressure is reached, the spool in the accumulator

charging valve will shift. Now, the signal pressure at port (8) drains to the steering

tank through port (7). This drains the pressure in the signal line to the pressure
compensator valve.

The reduced pressure in the signal line to the pressure compensator valve causes
the steering piston pump to destroke to low flow.

Normal leakage in the steering system will cause the pressure in the steering

illa
accumulators to gradually decrease to the cut-in pressure of approximately

16470 kPa (2390 psi). (90% of the accumulator charging valve cut-out pressure). At

c.
the cut-in pressure, the spool of the accumulator charging valve is shifted by the
spring under adjustment screw (5). The signal line at port (8) is now blocked. Oil
pressure increases in the signal line to the pressure compensator valve. The
pressure compensator valve causes the steering piston pump to stroke up to
maximum output.
