6. Hydraulic pump
The machine is equipped with hydrostatic load-sensing (LS) articulated steering, consisting of hydraulic pump P2, steering
valve, two accumulators and two steer cylinders.
Pump 2 (P2) is a variable axial piston pump located on the transmission's power take-off. P2 supplies oil to the central block.
The function of the central block is to distribute oil and pressure to brakes, steering (prioritized), servo and working
hydraulics.
Description central block, see Section 9.
The function of the accumulators is to give a slow pressure build-up, which results in smoother steering.
Steering valve
The steering valve is a non-reaction type with closed centre. The steering valve has a load sensing connection (LS), from
which a steering pressure is obtained to the central block's LSS-connection. From the central block's LSP-connection, the
steering pressure passes to the flow compensator on P2.

Steering valve
The steering valve is of the "non-reaction" type with closed centre. The steering valve has a load-sensing port (LS), from
which a steering pressure goes to the central block's LSS-connection. From the central block's LS-connection the steering
pressure goes to the flow compensator on P2 (as well as P1 if the machine is not equipped with LS-separation).
Figure 2
Function
When the steering wheel is kept still, the steering valve is in neutral, which means closed centre. The pump is in the non-
angled position and only supplies a stand-by pressure.
Figure 3
Steering valve, neutral position
Turning the steering wheel in either direction causes the inner and outer spools to turn relative to each other. When this
turning (displacement) has amounted to 1.5° the ducts to the metering unit and the LS-port begin to open. The pressure
from the steering pump is conducted directly to the load-sensing port, thus increasing the angle of the pump causing it to
supply a flow. Via the metering unit oil is supplied to the steering cylinders in proportion to the movement of the steering
wheel. When the steering wheel is released the inner and outer spools spring back to the closed position and the pump only
supplies stand-by pressure.

Service Information
Description
The secondary steering is equipment that enables the operator to maintain steering capacity if the primary steering pump
fails. The operator receives information if there's a system malfunction for monitoring the secondary steering system, which
may endanger personnel, machine and property in case of continued operation. Alarm, control as well as logic diagnostics
shall only be performed if the equipment is installed on the machine. See wiring diagram 16.
The system includes an electrically driven hydraulic pump MO601 that is controlled by the V-ECU via RE601.
I-ECU receives its signals from test switches SW601, two sensors (monitors), SE601 and SE602, and the machine's travel
speed sensor SE403.
Differential pressure sensor SE601 senses the difference between the main pressure and LS-pressure.
Pressure monitor SE602 senses the main pressure.

While operating
In case of primary steering pressure loss, the differential pressure monitor SE601 and primary steering pressure monitor
SE602 will close the switch. This means that the secondary steering pump starts if the speed is above 3 km/h (2 mph). In this
case, the pump will run for as long as the speed is above 3 km/h (2 mph).

CU601 Electronic unit
On most machines (depending on software) the machine speed can be limited to 30 km/h (19 mph) when lever steering
CDC is engaged, see also 301 Speed limitation for lever steering (CDC).
During transport operations on public roads, the steering wheel must be used and CDC must be disengaged.
The control lever has two adjusting screws for steering speed adjustment.
Electronic unit CU601 (Ramp alternator)
Electronic unit CU601 is not adjustable but has a fixed ramp/damping of approximately 0.2 seconds.
With help from electronic unit CU601, smoother steering is maintained by damping the signal to MA601 both at steering
start and steering stop. Damping (ramp) setting is fixed at approx. 0.2 seconds:
Electronic unit CU601 is designed as a circuit board.
When CDC is engaged, a green control light is lit on the middle instrument panel.
Figure 2
Centre instrument panel
The control valve, which is connected parallel to the primary steering valve, is located under the cab on the left side of the
machine.
The shuttle valve for LS pressure is located under the cab on the left side of the machine.
The primary gear selector control SW402 is prioritized in relation to the forward–reverse switch SW409 on the armrest. This
means that CDC is disengaged if the gear lever is moved forwards or backwards.
Function
Activating, operation and deactivating
To activate CDC, the armrest must be lowered, which closes SW407. Check that the primary gear control is in the neutral
position while simultaneously rotating the handle to the desired gear position (position 4 is normally selected). Select the
shifting mode with the Mode selector SW412.
Figure 3
Mode selector SW412 is located on the front panel.
CDC is activated with switch SW408 on the armrest. The green control light on the instrument panel should be activated.
Move steering lever SE603 to the desired steering position. Steering speed increases proportionally to the lever deflection.
Move the lever distinctly towards the neutral position when the steering movement is to be stopped.
Select forward, neutral and reverse gear with switch SW409. The Kick-down function is engaged with switch SW410 on the
side of the armrest.
CDC is deactivated by lifting the armrest, opening SW407 or by moving the primary gear selector control SW402 to forward
or reverse position.

drilling) a hole in the recess in the upholstery on either side of the steering lever.

1. Secure the frame joint with the frame joint lock. Block in front of and behind the wheels.
Figure 1
5. Measure the voltage at connector OD (in cable harness under the circuit board). Leave the connector plugged in.
6. If any of these values are incorrect, check that fuse FU 30 is intact, part the connector OD and repeat the
measurement. If the values are still incorrect, proceed to step 12.
7. Steer full left with the steering lever and measure the voltage between OD2-OD1. The voltage shall now be
between 6-10 V depending on how the steering lever is adjusted. Note the value.
8. Steer full right and repeat the measurement. The voltage shall now be between 17-21 V depending on how the
steering lever is adjusted. Note the value.
9. Check how much the measured voltages at full steering deflection, left and right, deviate from the value in neutral
position.The voltage between OD2-OD1Example:
Neutral position = 14 V.
Full steering deflection left = 7 V. Difference from neutral position: 14-7 = 7 V
Full steering deflection right = 20 V. Difference from neutral position 20-14 = 6 V
Excessive voltage difference between right and left may result in different steering speed. Adjust only if the steering
speed is experienced as different. Adjusting, see 660 Lever steering, adjusting steering speed
11. Loosen the four Allen head bolts under the armrest and turn over the upper part. Do not let the upper part hang by
the cable for the microswitch SW407.
12. Disconnect the black cable at the steering lever. Measure the resistance between black cable, at the steering lever,
and connector OE pin 1. Resistance shall be 0-1 Ω. If not, there is probably an open circuit in CU 601.
Figure 2
14. Disconnect white cable at the steering lever. Measure the voltage on the white cable. Voltage shall be 28 V (system
voltage). If there is no voltage, instead measure on the connector OE pin 2. If there is voltage on OE2 but not on
the white cable at the steering lever, there is an open circuit in CU 601.
15. Leave the lever steering activated. Refit the white cable on the steering lever and instead disconnect the green/
black cable.
Measure the voltage on the middle pin on the steering lever. With the lever in neutral position, the voltage
shall be 13-14 V.
Move the lever to the left. The voltage should drop to 6-10 V depending on how the steering speed is
adjusted with adjusting screw A.
Move the lever to the right. The voltage should increase to 17-21 V depending on how the steering speed
is adjusted with adjusting screw B. If the values are incorrect, the steering lever is probably defective.
16. Refit the casing on the armrest. This facilitates installation if the whole armrest is removed and is turned upside
down. Remove the armrest at the joint E.
NOTE!
Do not part the armrest at the fore-aft adjustment D.
Figure 3
17. Refit the armrest and check that the steering works. Stop the engine.
