Steering system
The steering system of this series of
truck is power steering system.
Power steering system
It is composed of steering control
mechanism, transmission mecha鄄
nism, unitized power -steering gear,
power steering pump and power -
steering pipeline etc.

series trucks
Power steering system adopts driv鄄
er's physical power and engine
power as steering energy. It can be
steering solely driven by driver if the
boost device do not work. So com鄄
pared with common mechanical
steering system, power-steering sys鄄
tem is acuter and safer, easing fa鄄
tigue of driver to a large extent.
Checking procedures of power -steer鄄
ing system's working state:
1. Put front wheel on the steering
platform.
2. Turn the steering wheel to left and
right pole to check if the steering
wheel has phenomenon of getting
stuck and getting impeded.
3. Check free play of steering wheel
when engine runs in idle speed. Free
play of steering wheel is 15-35mm.
Rotate adjusting screw clockwise to
decrease the free play, while rotate
anti-clockwise to increase it.
4. Rotational force of steering wheel
is around 19.6N when engine runs in
idle speed.
5. Check working condition of all of
the switches including starter switch,
rain wiper switch, exhaust brake
switch, horn switch and combination
switch.
Procedures of air exhausting in power
steering system:
1. Add steering oil (specified oil ) in鄄
to oil tank.
2. After standing up the front axle by
using jack, use prop stand to sup鄄
port frame.
3. Rotate steering wheel to left and
right pole for several times.
4. Check oil level of power-steering
oil tank, add steering oil if there is
not enough oil. Check whether oil lev鄄
el is in normal temperature scope.
5. Start engine, rotate steering wheel
to left and right pole for several times
if engine runs in idle speed. During
the process of exhausting air, add
steering oil constantly into oil tank to
ensure power-steering oil tank full.
6. Rotate steering wheel to make
wheel confront forward.
7. After switching off engine, check
oil level and add steering oil if neces鄄
sary.

Note: check whether steering oil is
in high temperature scope, if stee-
