SUPPLEMENTAL STEERING SYSTEM
As soon as steering wheel (7) is turned, the relief valve
(4) closes and supplemental steering pump (8) again
sends oil to metering valve (9).

During cold weather engine starting, dump
(unloading) valve (16) is normally used to divert primary
system hydraulic oil back to hydraulic tank (3). This
removes the power loss created by the implement pump
on the starter while cranking the engine. When this valve
(16) is pushed down, it closes a normally open switch

ends of the steering cylinders. When the pressure of the
blocked oil increases to approximately 12 600 kPa (1825
psi), a relief valve (4) will open. Oil is then sent through
the oil cooler by-pass valve (2). It combines with the oil
cooler return oil and is sent to hydraulic tank (3). From
hydraulic tank (3), the oil goes to oil cooler pump (5),
then to oil cooler (I) and/or through relief valve (2)
(depending on the temperature of the oil) back to
hydraulic tank (3).
