STEERING

RR/RD 5200 SERIES

Your truck is equipped with a hydraulic steering system. A
hydrostatic steering control unit, located in the power unit, is
coupled via hydraulic hoses to the steering motor, mounted Tiller
on the drive carriage, used to actuate the steering.

HYDROSTATIC STEERING UNIT

The hydrostatic steering unit (open center non-reaction)

mounts in the power unit below the steering tiller. The non-
reaction unit maintains the steered position when the opera-
tor releases the steering tiller. The cylinder ports are blocked
in the neutral valve position. The operator must steer the To Reservoir Steering Control
drive wheel back to the straight ahead position. Unit

The steering unit meters a proportional amount of oil to the

steering motor when the tiller is rotated. This pressurized oil
is supplied by the P1 pump, and is supplied to the appropri-
ate side of the steering motor by the direction of rotation of Part of
the steer control unit via the steering tiller. When the steering Power Unit
tiller rotation is stopped the steer motor ports are blocked to
hold the steering in that position. In the event that pump flow HYDRAULIC MOTOR
Steering Motor
- SEE SECTION 06.2
is stopped, the steer unit can be manually rotated to "pump"
flow to the appropriate motor port by turning the steering tiller
in the desired direction, thus allowing emergency steering.

Steer circuit relief pressure is non-adjusting and pre-set to

59.850 kPa (1,250 psi). Normal steering pressures are P1 Lift
19.150 - 28.730 kPa (400-600 psi). Pump

FORWARD AND REVERSE STEERING

Undercarriage
The steering on your truck can be changed from forward
steering to reverse steering by reversing the hydraulic lines
at the steering motor. Care should be exercised when
maintenance is performed on the steering system to return
the truck to the proper steering mode upon completion.

NOTE

Prior to disassembly the service technician should

determine the steer direction of the truck, upon
completion of the maintenance, steer direction
should be checked to insure that it is set for the
desired direction and functioning properly.
