Each system operates with the same hydraulic fluid, coming from a single reservoir that serves them all. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 1. Hydraulic oil reservoir 2. Steering emergency pump 3. Main hydraulic pump 4. Brake hydraulic pump 5. Steering hydraulic circuit 6. Load dumping hydraulic circuit 7. Brake hydraulic circuit HYDRAULIC 25 & 30 TON ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS 3 Steering Control System On the Articulated Dump Trucks, a system for the delivery of high flow (flow amplification) to the steering cylinders is used. This system consists of a steering control valve, a Flow-amplifier and steering cylinders. These systems with a steering control orbital valve and Flow-Amplifier also include a priority flow divider valve in the Flow Amplifier which ensures that the steering takes priority. When the steering wheel is turned, the oil flow is divided in the Flow-Amplifier in such a way as to ensure that the necessary oil flow is led to the steering system. The rest of the oil flow is available for the working hydraulics to raise and lower the dump body. Steering Control System HYDRAULIC 25 & 30 TON ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS 4 Steering Control Orbital Valve The steering control orbital valve unit consists of a rotary valve and a rotary meter. Via a steering column, the steering unit is connected to the steering wheel of the vehicle. Oil is supplied to the steering control orbital valve from the Flow Amplifier. When the steering wheel is turned, oil is directed via the rotary valve and rotary meter to the orbital valve cylinder ports L or R, depending on the direction of the turn. The rotary meter varies the oil flow to the Flow Amplifier in proportion to the angular rotation of the steering wheel. This steering system is of the load sensing design. In load sensing steering systems both the steering system and the working hydraulics can be supplied from just one pump. The load sensing steering unit has an extra connection for load sensing (LS), so that a steering load pressure signal can be directed via the steering control orbital valve to a priority valve in the Flow Amplifier. The load sensing signal controls the oil flow from the priority valve to the steering cylinders. The LS connection is open to the reservoir when the steering control orbital valve is in the neutral position. HYDRAULIC 25 & 30 TON ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS 5 Steering Control Orbital Valve HYDRAULIC 25 & 30 TON ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS 6 Steering Flow-Amplifier On the Articulated Dump Trucks, a system for the delivery of high flow (flow amplification) to the steering cylinders is used. This system consists of a steering control orbital valve, and a Flow-amplifier. The Flow-Amplifier contains a directional valve, a flow amplification stage, a priority valve, a pilot pressure relief valve and circuit relief and anti-cavitation valves. In addition, the Flow-Amplifier contains a backpressure valve to assure that oil is available for manual steering when the engine is not running. The Flow-Amplifier provides more oil to the steering cylinders than would be possible to flow through the steering orbital valve. The Flow-Amplifier uses the lower flow through the orbital valve to provide a control flow to cause the amplifier spool of the Flow Amplifier to send about 8 times more oil to the CL or CR steering cylinder ports than what is going through the orbital valve. The amplified flow is proportional to the rate of the steering wheel rotation. If the oil flow from the pump fails, the Flow-Amplifier cuts off the amplification and manual steering through the steering orbital valve is possible.

Bleed each of the three circuits separately. BRAKING CIRCUIT 1. Press the brake pedal fully and hold it pressed down. 2. Remove the dust cap, then fit a transparent tube on the bleeder (1). Submerge one end of the tube in a bowl containing oil. 3. Loosen the valve, letting out the oil and the air bubbles. Close it after a few seconds. NOTE: Close the valve if the end of the clear tube is not submerged. 4. Fully release the brake pedal. 5. Repeat the operation until oil without bubbles comes out of the bleeder. 6. Close the bleeder. 7. Fit the cap and repeat the operation on the other braking units of the vehicle. 7. At the end of the operation, check the oil level in the reservoir and add more if required. STEERING CIRCUIT 1. Start the engine, steer slowly and fully to the right and then to the left. 2. Repeat the operation a few times to eliminate the air bubbles in the circuit. 3. At the end of the operation, check the oil level in the reservoir and add more if required. LOAD DUMPING CIRCUIT 1. Start the engine and tip the bucket to fill the circuit. 2. Bring the bucket back to home position. 3. Repeat the operation several times to eliminate the air in the cylinders. 4. At the end of the operation, check the oil level in the reservoir and add more, if required. HYDRAULIC 25 & 30 TON ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS 30 25 TON TRUCK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DIAGRAM 1.
