Steering
The steering system is a self-compensating, hydro-mechanical
system and provided with a secondary steering function via a
ground-dependent pump positioned on the dropbox. This ensures
steering down to approx. 3 km/h (1.9 mph) even if the engine
should stop.
During all forward operation the control lamp (red) for engine-
dependent pumps and the control lamp (amber) for ground-
dependent pump (the secondary steering) should be extinguished.
If the red lamp (A) for the engine-dependent pumps is alight:
The hydraulic pumps have stopped functioning (e.g. the engine
has stopped). The steering will work down to approx. 3 km/h
(1.9 mph). The steering pressure is obtained from the ground-
dependent pump when operating forward.
If the amber lamp (B) for the ground-dependent pump is
alight:
The hydraulic pump has stopped functioning. The steering
functions as normal, but if the engine-dependent pumps should
now stop functioning, the steering of the machine will be made
completely inoperable.
If any of the lamps are alight, stop the machine immediate and
contact a workshop authorised by Volvo CE.
Secondary steering
The machine is provided with a secondary steering system which
is ground-dependent (it is provided with a ground-dependent
pump). This means that the secondary steering works down to
approx. 3 km/h (1.9 mph) when operating forward.
Testing the secondary steering system
Test the secondary steering system every 2000 hours.
Run the machine on a road where there is no other traffic, stop the
engine by pressing in the emergency stop when the machine is
moving at approx. 10 km/h (6 mph). The steering should function
down to a speed of approx. 3 km/h (1.9 mph).
NOTE! The pressure in the brake system should be at
maximum level before testing.
