DESCRIPTION
General
The main components of the steering system are the
hydraulic pump (Figure 10-1), the priority flow control valve,
the load sensing steering orbitrol, hydraulic tank, one front
steering cylinder, two rear steering cylinders and the steering
select valve.
When the steering wheel is turned, a pressure demand is
sensed by the priority flow control valve through load sensing
line between the priority flow control valve and the flow
sensing steering orbitrol.
Oil from the hydraulic pump is then distributed through the
priority flow control valve and a check valve to the steering
orbitrol.
When a turn is made, oil is distributed from the steering
orbitrol directly through the steering select valve and/or to
the steering cylinders.
When the steering orbitrol is neutral, the load sense signal is
ceased, full pump flow is then distributed to the outrigger and
brake circuits through the priority flow control valve.
Maximum steering system pressure is controlled by a relief
valve in the priority flow control valve.
Steering Modes
The crane can be operated in three steering modes.These
modes are selected using the steering selector switch
located to the right of the operator on the side instrument
panel. The three modes are:
• Two-wheel steering
• Four-wheel steering
• Crab steering
