Fitting Procedure.
Needle roller bearings should slide into position freely, do not
bend or distort the cage to fit. If the cage has been distorted
fit new bearings.
Note: The piston incorporates a small check valve. Visually
inspect the piston to ensure the ball is in place and that the
seat is free from contamination. If necessary clean the valve
by blowing through with an air line. DO NOT use a wire rod
(or screwdriver) as damage to the valve seat could occure.

finishing with a friction plate.

Fit the pressure end plate 10, do not fit shim 9 at this
stage. Make sure that the chamfered face is fitted
facing the clutch pack as shown at A. Make sure the
teeth are not aligned with the lubrication slots in the
housing.
7
Fit the clutch friction/counter plates retaining circlip 8.
8
Using a dial test indicator as shown, measure the end
float of the pressure end plate 10, which should be 1.9
to 2.5 mm (0.075 to 0.098 in).
If it is necessary to adjust the end float to bring it within
tolerance, there is a choice of fitting a 6.0mm (0.23in) or
6.5mm (0.25in) thick pressure end plate 10, with either a
shim 9 or an extra counter plate 12 between the
retaining circlip 8 and pressure end plate 10.
Use an airline to check the operation of the clutch.

Hydraulic Operation
The main components of the steering system are the priority
valve 7, load sensing steer unit 42, hydraulic tank T and the
front power track rod ram 10.
When the steering wheel is turned, a pressure demand is
sensed at the priority valve 7 via load sensing line LS.
Oil from the hydraulic pump P2 is then distributed via the
priority valve to the steer unit 42, which then directs the oil
to the front power track rod ram 10 untill the required
steering lock is achieved.
When the steering lock is held, the pressure signal LS
ceases, flow from the hydraulic pump P2 is now distributed
to the main hydraulic circuit via the priority valve 7.
Maximum steering system pressure is controlled by a relief
valve located in the steering unit 42.

Hydraulic Operation
The main components of the steering system are the priority
valve 7, load sensing steer unit 42, hydraulic tank T, front
power track rod ram 10 and rear power track rod ram 11.
When the steering wheel is turned, a pressure demand is
sensed at the priority valve 7 via load sensing line LS.
Oil from the hydraulic pump P2 is then distributed via the
priority valve to the steer unit 42.
8
When left turn is selected, oil is distributed from steer unit 42
to the rear power track rod ram 11 via the steer mode
control valve 8. When right turn is selected, oil is delivered
directly to the front power track rod ram 10.
When the steering lock is held, the pressure signal LS
ceases, flow from the hydraulic pump is now distributed to
the main hydraulic circuit via the priority valve 7.
A396570
Maximum steering system pressure is controlled by a relief
valve located in the steering unit 42.

Electrical Operation
Three steering modes are available:
- 2 Wheel Steer (front axle)
- 4 Wheel Steer
- Crab Steer
The three modes are selected in the cab from a three
position switch A which operates relays in the steer mode
A
control unit B. The relays switch the energising supplies to
the solenoid operated steer mode control valve C. Proximity
E
L1
switches on the front D and rear E axles signal when the
L2
wheels are in the straight ahead position.
C
L3
D
Lights L1, L2 or L3 on the instrument panel illuminate to
indicate the steer mode currently operative.
In 2 wheel steer mode only the front wheels are steered. In 4
wheel steer mode both axles are steered, giving a smaller
A401140
turning circle and so improving manoeuvrability. The crab
steer mode allows the machine to be driven diagonally into
loading/unloading positions which might otherwise be
inaccessible.
The system is prevented from changing mode until the
relevant proximity switch is energised. If, for example, the
system is set in 4 wheel steer and 2 wheel steer is then
selected, the system will stay in 4 wheel steer untill the rear
wheels are turned to the straight ahead position, thus
energising the rear axle proximity switch. The rear wheels
are then hydraulically locked in the straight ahead position.

Steer Unit Operation
- 2 Wheel Steer Machines
On 2 wheel steer machines the hydraulic steer unit
operation is identical to that described for the 4
wheel steer machines, except the unit pumps oil
out directly to a power track rod ram fitted on the
front axle only. Also, therefore the 2 wheel steer
machines do not have a steer mode control valve.
Refer to, Steer Unit Operation - 4 Wheel Steer
Machines.
Steer Unit Operation
- 4 Wheel Steer Machines
4 Wheel Steer Mode
- Neutral
Flow from the priority valve enters the steering unit
through the bottom right hand port past the non-
return valve 43C. When the steering wheel is
stationary the inner spool A and sleeve B are held
in the neutral position by the centring springs K. As
the unit is 'closed centre' the flow from the pump is
dead ended by the steering unit.
In 4 wheel steer mode the spools of the steer mode
control valve X are configured as shown.

Steer Unit Operation

4 Wheel Steer Mode
- Left Turn
The illustration shows the flow through the steering
unit in a left hand turn condition. Turning the
steering wheel rotates the inner spool A a few
degrees relative to the outer spool B, and sends a
pressure signal to the relief valve 43B and through
the LS port back to the priority valve.
The relative movement between A and B directs
pressure oil through 6 of the 12 holes in the bottom
of sleeve B. The metering unit is linked to the
spools by a cross pin. As the steering is operated
the oil is diverted by inner spool A into the stator D.
The rotor lobes pump the oil out to one side of the
rear power track rod ram 41 turning the rear wheels
to the right. At the same time pressurised oil from
the other side of the power track rod ram 41 is fed
to the front power track rod ram 40, hence turning
the front wheels the required degree of left turn.

The illustration shows the flow through the steering

except that the oil is diverted by spool A to the
