6.2 Examination after Reassembly of Steering System:
(1) Examine whether or not the hydraulic pipeline is correctly arranged and whether or not the
left and right steering is reversely assembled.
(2) Turn the steering wheel leftward and rightward, and turn it thoroughly to the bottom, to
observe whether or not force application for the left and the right is uniform and whether or not
rotation is smooth.
(3) After steering system has been properly assembled, jack up the steering wheel, for engine to
run at idle speed, and then slowly turn the steering wheel leftward and rightward, repeat it for
several times, to remove the air in hydraulic pipeline and steering cylinder. Drop the steering
wheel, and turn it further for several times. Examine whether or not the sound during its
rotation is normal, and it indicates that air has been fully exhausted, if abnormal sound is not
hearted. Then run the engine at the fixed idle speed, to raise the oil temperature.
(4) Measure the steering force:
Park the forklift truck on a dry and flat pavement. Use the parking brake, attach the spring
balancing device on the edge of steering wheel, to measure the steering force, and this force
must be lower than 150N.
(5) In order to measure pressure, use the pressure gauge (15-20MPa), and shut-off valve and
the hose are connected as indicated in Fig 6-6.
Fig 6-6 Pressure Measurement
Detach the connecting pipe from bypass valve to steering unit. Link up the pipe with pressure gauge
on the side close to bypass valve, link up the pipe with shutoff valve on the side close to steering unit,
and then allow the engine to run at idle speed.
When steering wheel is under the free status, the oil pressure is about 0.5-2MPa, and if pressure
exceeds this value, it is then required to examine whether or not the bypass valve and the pipeline are
blocked. Step up the engine speed to about 1500rpm, if no anomaly is found, and then slowly turn off
the shutoff valve and pay attention to pressure rise.
The maximum pressure of bypass valve is adjusted to 120MPa, and therefore, when shutoff valve is
