General Information
The steering system is all hydraulic. There is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and cylinder (5) and cylinder (18) that move the front wheels to turn the machine. The major components of the steering system are pump (16), Hand Metering Unit [HMU] (4), hydraulic tank (6), relief valve (8) for cylinders, flow control valve (17), cylinder (5) and cylinder (18). The steering system is independent of all other hydraulic systems.

(16) Pump [steering]. (20) Pump [hoist]. (21) Pump [transmission]. (22) Oil pump drive.

Oil pump drive (22) with three hydraulic pumps, is connected to the engine by a drive shaft. The engine must be operating for pump (16) to operate the hydraulic steering system. If the engine stops while the truck is moving, supplemental electric motor (7) is automatically activated. When the steering wheel is moved, the supplemental pump (15) sends a limited amount of oil to cylinder (5) and cylinder (18) to turn the truck. Pump (16) is a one-section gear pump. The steering pump (16), hoist pump (20) and transmission pump (21) are all on oil pump drive (22) connected to the engine by a U-joint. The oil pump drive is located between the frame and engine, on the left side, at the rear of the engine.

Flow Control Valve (13) Check valve. (14) Relief valve. (17) Flow control valve.

Pump (16) gets oil from hydraulic tank (6). Pump (16) moves the oil through flow control valve (17), where the flow of oil from the pump is divided. Some of the oil flows back through oil filter (9) and into hydraulic tank (6). If the steering wheel is not turned, the oil in Hand Metering Unit [HMU] (4) flows through and back to flow control valve (17). In this case, all of the oil from pump (16) flows through oil filter (9) and back into hydraulic tank (6). When the steering wheel is turned in a counterclockwise direction to turn the truck to the left, the pump oil in HMU (4) flows to the head end of right cylinder (5) and to the rod end of left cylinder (18). The action of the oil on the pistons and rods in cylinder (5) and cylinder (18) turn the front wheels of the truck to make a left turn. The oil from the rod end of right cylinder (5) and the head end of left cylinder (18) flows back through HMU (4), flow control valve (17) and through oil filter (9) into hydraulic tank (6). The amount of oil flow from HMU (4) is in relation to the speed the steering wheel is turned. Turn the steering wheel slow and the front wheels change direction slowly, turn it fast and the front wheels change direction faster.

The oil from pump (16) is limited to a maximum pressure of approximately 15 100 kPa (2190 psi) by relief valve (14) in flow control valve (17). The blocked oil in cylinder (5) and cylinder (18) and in the lines between the cylinders and HMU (4), prevents a change in direction of the wheels when the steering wheel is not turned. If a front wheel would strike against a large object that can not move, the pressure of the oil increases in one end of each cylinder and in the oil lines connected to those ends. If the increase in oil pressure gets to approximately 18 270 kPa (2650 psi), relief valve (8) for the cylinders opens. Oil can then flow between the head ends and rod ends of the cylinders. The supplemental pump (15) provides oil to steer the front wheels if the normal flow is lost from pump (16) or engine failure. The location of supplemental pump (15) is under the frame, behind the engine and directly above the torque converter.

Instrument Panel (10) Manual/Automatic panel switch [for supplemental steering]. (23) Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System [CEMS] action light. (24) Supplemental steering indicator light. (25) Steering alert indicator light.

Supplemental pump (15) operates according to the position of manual/automatic panel switch (10). During normal machine operation, manual/automatic panel switch (10) is put in the "AUTO" position. When the engine is started, electric control module (12) turns on supplemental electric motor (7) which operates supplemental pump (15) for a three second period of time. Supplemental steering indicator light (24) also comes on during that time. The Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System [CEMS] is designed to alert the operator of an immediate or impending problem in the steering or other machine systems. If the engine stops while there is movement of the machine, flow switch (19) activates electronic control module (12). Electronic control module (12) turns on magnetic switch (11), which turns on supplemental electric motor (7) that operates supplemental pump (15). Electronic control module (12) also causes steering alert indicator light (25) and CEMS action light (23) to FLASH and the action alarm to sound. Supplemental steering indicator light (24) activates when the supplemental steering system is activated. Manual/automatic panel switch (10) is moved to the "MANUAL" position only when the machine is towed (pulled). This switch activates supplemental pump (15) and supplemental steering indicator

light (24). Electric power for supplemental pump (15) comes from the truck's batteries. When supplemental pump (15) is operating, oil is drawn from hydraulic tank (6). This oil moves through flow control valve (17), check valve (13) and into HMU (4). Because of the small flow of oil from supplemental pump (15), truck steering is slow.

Hand Metering Unit [HMU]

Hand Metering Unit [HMU] Components (1) Input shaft. (2) Ball. (3) Valve spool. (4) Housing. (5) Gear [outside gear of gerotor]. (6) Manifold. (7) Torsion bar. (8) Drive link. (9) Gear [inside gear of gerotor]. (10) Commutator.

Hand Metering Unit [HMU] (11) Shaft [from steering wheel]. (12) Oil lines [to cylinders]. (13) Pump oil line. (14) Oil line [to tank].

Shaft (11) from the steering wheel is connected to input shaft (1) in the Hand Metering Unit [HMU]. A pin through input shaft (1) and torsion bar (7) connects the shafts. Torsion bar (7) has a pin drive in the other end that fits into the grooves in drive link (8). The splines on one end of drive link (8) are in the splines in the center of gear (9). Splines on the other end of drive link (8) are in the splines

in valve spool (3). Drive link (8) also is the drive for commutator (10). Shaft (11), input shaft (1), valve spool (3), torsion bar (7), drive link (8), gear (9) and commutator (10) turn with the steering wheel. Ball (2) is in a hole in valve spool (3) and is also in the helical groove around input shaft (1). When input shaft (1) is turned, ball (2) moves in the helical groove and moves (but does not turn) valve spool (3) a short distance. The splines connected to drive link (8) prevent valve spool (3) from rotating at this point. The movement of valve spool (3) is either toward gear (5) when the steering wheel is turned clockwise or toward the steering wheel when it is turned counterclockwise. When valve spool (3) is moved to the end of its travel, holes and grooves in the valve spool align with holes and grooves in housing (4). After valve spool (3) aligns with housing (4), one of oil lines (12) to the cylinders is an outlet for the pump oil to the cylinders. The other oil line (12) is an inlet for the return oil. When valve spool (3) is moved to the other end of its travel, the opening that was an inlet for the return oil is now an outlet for the pump oil to the cylinders and the opening that was an outlet to the cylinders is now an inlet for the return oil. When valve spool (3) is in the center of its travel, no holes and grooves are in alignment to the opening in housing (4). This blocks the oil in oil lines (12) and the oil in the cylinders. The oil then circulates through the HMU, flows through the flow control valve and returns to the hydraulic tank. When the steering wheel turns shaft (11) and input shaft (1), torsion bar (7) can not easily turn drive link (8) and gear (9) because of the hydraulic oil block in oil lines (12) and the cylinders. The oil blockage causes resistance to movement of commutator (10), gear (9) and drive link (8) until valve spool (3) moves to allow oil flow. The splines on drive link (8) in valve spool (3) also keep the valve spool from rotating. When input shaft (1) is rotated, torsion bar (7) gets twisted because it cannot turn drive link (8). The rotation of input shaft (1) also causes ball (2) to move valve spool (3). When valve spool (3) moves to the position that opens the outlet and inlet passages in housing (4) to oil lines (12), torsion bar (7) turns drive link (8). Drive link (8) turns gear (9), commutator (10) and valve spool (3). As gear (9) turns in gear (5), oil is moved from pump oil line (13) through manifold (6). Then, commutator (10) moves the pump oil to oil lines (12) to the cylinders. Gear (9) rotates with and at the same speed as the steering wheel. The speed of gear (9) is in relation to the amount of oil it moves to the cylinders. Turn the steering wheel slowly and the truck is slow to change direction or turn the steering wheel fast and the truck changes direction fast. Stop turning the steering wheel, and the twisted torsion bar (7) will rotate drive link (8) in the opposite direction of the original steering wheel rotation until the torsion bar is no longer twisted. As drive link (8) rotates, it moves valve spool (3) and ball (2) reverses its path around the helical groove in input shaft (1). This moves valve spool (3) to the center position where the holes and grooves are misaligned. This causes a hydraulic oil block in oil lines (12) and in the cylinders and the front wheels stop their change in direction.

(1) Pin. (2) Drive. (3) Timing mark. (4) Gerotor star valleys. (A), (B), and (C) are reference lines.

If the Hand Metering Unit [HMU] is disassembled for any reason, it must be put back together with the relationship between gerotor star valleys (4) and pin (1) as shown. Otherwise, erratic steering will result. To assemble correctly, use timing mark (3) located on drive (2). Timing mark (3) on drive (2) must fall on the parallel line between any two gerotor star valleys (4). Note parallel relationships of reference lines (A), (B), and (C).

Flow Control Valve And Relief Valve

Flow Control Valve (1) Orifice. (2) Opening [to the Hand Metering Unit (HMU)]. (3) Relief valve. (4) Adjustment screw. (5) Opening [from the HMU]. (6) Check valve. (7) Opening [from the supplemental pump]. (8) Opening [from the pump]. (9) Check valve. (10) Flow switch. (11) Opening [to hydraulic tank]. (12) Screen assembly. (13) Check valve.

The flow of oil from the pump flows into opening (8) of the flow control valve. When the engine speed is between 1050 and 2000 rpm, relief valve (3) and orifice (1) allow approximately 132.5 L/min (35 U.S. gpm) of the pump oil to flow through screen assembly (12) to opening (2). This oil flows through check valve (13) into the Hand Metering Unit [HMU]. The pump oil that does not flow to the HMU flows out through opening (11) to the hydraulic tank. The oil returning from the HMU flows into opening (5) and adds to the pump oil that flows through opening (11) to the hydraulic tank. Check valve (13) mounted in opening (2) prevents a reverse flow of oil, which is created by the cylinders during a turn, from returning to the flow control valve from the HMU. Check valve (6) stops any pump oil flow through opening (7) to the supplemental pump. Check valve (9) mounted in opening (8) prevents a reverse flow of oil to the steering pump. If the pressure of the pump oil to the HMU reaches approximately 15 100 150 kPa (2190 22 psi),

relief valve (3) opens. Turn adjustment screw (4) counterclockwise (CCW) if relief valve (3) pressure setting is too high or clockwise (CW) if the pressure setting is too low. When normal flow loss is sensed by flow switch (10), the supplemental pump begins operating. The oil from the supplemental pump flows through opening (7), check valve (6), orifice (1), opening (2) and check valve (13) to the HMU. Check valve (9) closes and prevents any oil from flowing through opening (8) to the pump.

Relief Valve For Cylinders

Relief Valve (A) Port. (B) Port. (1) Valve. (2) Valve.

The relief valve is used to prevent damage from high pressure oil in the cylinder circuit. This occurs when an outside force on a front wheel suddenly moves a cylinder rod farther in or out of a cylinder than necessary when the steering wheel is stationary. When a front wheel strikes against a large object that can not be moved, while the steering wheel is stationary, the pressure of the oil increases in one end of each cylinder and in the oil lines connected between those ends. This oil pressure increase is also felt through Port A or Port B by valve (1) or valve (2). If the oil pressure increases to approximately 18 270 kPa (2650 psi), valve (1) or valve (2) will open and allow oil flow to the head ends and rod ends of the low pressure side of the cylinders.
