Steering System Problems
Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Steering components (e.g. rod ends,
steering cylinders, steering stops) are
worn or binding.
Inspect steering components and repair
or replace if necessary.
Verify and adjust rod end and steering
stop lengths and adjust if necessary.
Oil supply to the steering control valve
is insufficient (traction charge and lift
circuits affected as well).
Verify charge pressure; refer to the
InfoCenter SERVICE–INPUT/OUTPUT
–TRACTION–TRACTION INPUTS
FRONT TRACTION and REAR
TRACTION readings while the machine
is stationary.
Verify gear pump (P4) performance;
refer to Gear Pump (P4) Flow Text in
the Hydraulic System chapter of this
manual
Relief valve (RV1) in the main manifold
is stuck, leaking or damaged.
Clean the relief valve and replace the
seals.
Replace relief valve if necessary.
Steering priority valve (EC1) in the
main manifold is faulty.
Clean the relief valve and replace the
seals.
Replace the priority valve if necessary.
Steering is sluggish, operates poorly or
is inoperative.
Steering control valve is worn or
damaged.
Rebuild or replace the steering control
valve.
Turning steering wheel turns wheels in
the wrong direction.
Hydraulic hoses to the steering
cylinders are connected incorrectly.
Correct hydraulic hose connections.
The hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic
tank is low (other hydraulic circuit
performance is affected as well).
Adjust the hydraulic fluid level.
Gear pumps (P3 and P4) are noisy
from cavitation (steering, traction
charge, lift circuit and attachment circuit
performance is affected).
The suction filter or suction line is
damaged, loose, or clogged.
Secure, clean or replace the suction
filter or suction line.
