Hydraulic System
b. Four-Wheel Steering
When the Steer Select Valve (5) is in the Four-
Wheel Steer (LEFT) position (6), the Front 
Wheels (7) will steer in the direction the steering 
wheel is turned and the Rear Wheels (8) will 
steer in the opposite direction. Return oil from the Steer 
Select Valve and Accumulator Charge/Secondary 
Function Valve exits the “Drain” Ports and returns to the 
Hydraulic Reservoir unfiltered.
1. Four-Wheel Steering Left Turn (See page 8.118)
In the Four-Wheel Steering mode, when a LEFT turn is 
made, the Power Steering Unit control valve spool is 
shifted so that the system pressure from the Accumulator 
Charge/Secondary Function Valve Port “CF” is applied to 
the intake side of the power steering unit metering section 
“P” Port. A specific amount of hydraulic oil is exhausted 
from the metering section and routed to the power 
steering control valve, internal to the Power Steering Unit, 
exiting through Port “L” where it is channeled through the 
Steer Selector Valve Port “R,” exiting through Port “2,” 
then flowing to the LEFT rod end of the Rear Steering 
Cylinder.
Oil from the RIGHT rod end of the Rear Steering Cylinder 
flows to the Steer Selector Valve Port “1” and exits the 
Port “P” becoming system pressure and flowing to the 
Front Steering Cylinder LEFT rod end.
Oil from the RIGHT rod end of the Front Steering Cylinder 
flows to the Power Steering Unit Port “R” and exiting 
through Port “T” to the Main Control Valve, through the Oil 
Cooler and then to the Return Filter in the Hydraulic 
Reservoir.
2. Four-Wheel Steering Right Turn (See page 8.120)
In the Four-Wheel Steering mode, when a RIGHT turn is 
made, the Power Steering Unit control valve spool is 
shifted so that the system pressure from the Accumulator 
Charge/Secondary Function Valve Port “CF” is applied to 
the intake side of the Power Steering Unit metering 
section “P” Port.
A specific amount of hydraulic oil is exhausted from the 
metering section and routed to the power steering control 
valve, internal to the Power Steering Unit, exiting through 
Port “R” then flowing to the RIGHT rod end of the Front 
Steering Cylinder.
Returning oil from the LEFT rod end of the Front Steering 
Cylinder flows through the Steer Selector Valve Port “P” 
and exits Port “1” to the RIGHT rod end of the Rear 
Steering Cylinder. Oil from the LEFT rod end of the Rear 
Steering Cylinder flows through the Steer Selector Valve 
Port “2,” exiting Port “R” and back to the Power Steering 
Unit Port “L,” exiting Port “T” to the Main Control Valve, 
exiting the “Outlet” Port and passing through the Oil 
Cooler and then to the Return Filter in the Hydraulic 
Reservoir.
