6.
Install the steering output fittings.
Plastic caps placed on the open ends of the fittings
will prevent excessive leakage prior to hose
installation.
Locate the steering lines at the head and rod ends of
the left steering cylinder at the center of the
machine (Figure 6, top). Disconnect the machine’s
steering hoses and install run-tees
HO
. Reconnect
the machine’s steering hoses to the open ‘T’ end of
each run-tee (Figure 6, bottom).
7.
Install the steering output hoses.
a.
Connect steering hoses
HV
(the longer) and
HW
to
the stem of the run-tees at the head and rod ends of
the steering cylinder respectively (Figure 7a).
Route the hoses, with other plumbing and clear of
moving parts back and up to the hydraulic steering
block. Use ties
HY
as necessary.
b.
Connect the hoses
HV
and
HW
to adapter fittings
HC
in the
A
and
B
ports of the hydraulic steering
block (Figure 7b).
8.
Install the steering controller.
Using hardware
HJ
, install steering controller
HI
on its mounting bracket
HH
. Mount
HI
with its
connector sockets inward and the pressure wash
warning on top (Figure 8).
9.
Verify operation.
During tests of the hydraulic system, the
machine may move unexpectedly. Be
prepared for machine movement to avoid
injury.
Keep others away and stay clear of
mechanical steering linkages to prevent
serious injury or death from pinch point
hazards while manually operating the
hydraulic steering circuit.
a.
Tighten all connections and clean up the installation
area around the machine and make certain that it is
safe to operate.
b.
Start the machine and check hydraulic connections
for any leaks.
c.
Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the
other and back.
