The maximum pressure in the steering system is limited to 22800 ± 350 kPa (3305 ± 50 psi) by the pump control section (pressure and flow compensator valve) of the steering/pilot pump.

Fully articulate the machine in order to achieve a stall condition. Maintain force on the steering wheel in order to achieve maximum pressure in the steering/pilot pump.

Use the following procedure in order to determine whether the steering pressure is being regulated correctly by the control section of the steering/pilot pump:

    Steering/Pilot Pump

    (1) Pressure tap.

  1. Install a 27000 kPa (4000 psi) pressure gauge at pressure tap (1) .

  1. Start the engine and run the engine at low idle. Allow the hydraulic oil to reach normal operating temperature.

  1. Now, operate the engine at high idle and turn the steering wheel against the steering frame lock.

    Rubber Stop Pad

    Note: If the steering frame lock cannot be used, turn the steering wheel so that the machine is fully articulated. Continue to turn the steering wheel against the rubber stop pads on the frames.

  1. Note the reading on the pressure gauge. The reading should be 22800 ± 350 kPa (3305 ± 50 psi).

  1. Stop the engine and remove the pressure gauge from the pressure tap.

Note: Do not keep the steering/pilot pump at stall condition for more than ten seconds. If necessary, release the steering wheel and wait for 30 seconds before you repeat the procedure.

Reference: For the correct test procedure, refer to Testing and Adjusting, " Piston Pump (Steering) Margin Pressure - Test and Adjust".
