2 Re-installing the steering gear
Attention:
To guarantee a safe operation of the steering system, maximum cleanliness is an absolute must
when re-installating all units that are part of the system.
Note:
To avoid malfunctions caused by foreign bodies or impurities in the oil circuit of the steering gear,
the plugs in the ports of the steering gear, the oil pump, the steering cylinder, the valves etc. ...
should only be removed at the moment the lines are connected. Remove protecting sleeves in the
installed position, only, if this is possible. Connecting lines and screwed connections must be
thoroughly cleaned and deburred.
2.1 Rotate the steering wheel to the straight ahead driving position.
Clean the locating surfaces of the mounting bracket and the steering gear.
2.2 Additionally, for vehicles with adjustable driver’s workplace:
Using a suitable tool, for example a ratchet belt, constrict the ball-track relay shaft until there
is sufficient space for the steering gear to be built in without constricting the ball-track relay
shaft any further. (Fig. 22).
2.3 Rotate the steering gear to mid-position by dividing the total number of steering wheel turns
in two. Then continue to rotate until the marks (see Fig. 23) on the input shaft, the protection
cap and the housing coincide.
