(Type 2 Axle) Steering Cylinder
Refer to Section 9.5 for steer axle type specifications and
steering cylinder description. Refer to Section 9.8 for
removal of steering cylinder.
Preparation For Disassembly
1.
Overhaul steering cylinder only in a clean,
dustfree
location,
using
clean
tools
and
equipment. Dirt or grit will damage the highly-
machined surfaces and will result in leakage or
premature failure of components. Cleanliness of
the hydraulic circuit is extremely important to the
proper
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
system. Be sure the work area is clean.
2.
Before disassembly, the exterior of the steering
cylinder should be carefully cleaned to remove
all dirt and grease accumulation.
3.
Be sure all hydraulic oil has been removed from
the cylinder. Stroking the piston rod will help
force the oil out.
4.
Before
starting
disassembly,
the
steering
cylinder
should
be
carefully
examined
to
determine if there is any evidence of external
damage.
