 7-13

Point Operations
[Point 1]
Disassembly:
Put a match mark.

Reassembly:
Align the match marks.

Reassembly:
As one out of seven set bolts is a bolt with pin, install it in
the correct position.

[Point 2]
Reassembly:
Pay attention to the following points at the time of reas-
sembly.
Parallel
1. Fit the gearwheel (rotor) and cardan shaft so that a
tooth base in the rotor is positioned in relation to the
shaft slot as shown. Turn the gear rim so that the seven
through holes match the holes in the housing.

2. Guide the carden shaft down into the bore so that the
Parallel
slot is parallel with the connection flange.

Flange

3. Align the match marks on the distributor plate and gear

wheel made at the time of disassembly.
When these parts are replaced, match the holes in the
housing and plate at the time of reassembly.
7-14

[Point 3]
Disassembly:
Extract the spool W/sleeve upward. Otherwise, the spool
cross pin may move during extraction to cause sticking.

Reassembly:
Set and install the neutral position spring correctly.

Reassembly:
Pay attention to the bearing direction for installation. (See
the figure.)

Chamfering

Sleeve

Reassembly:
Place the housing with its flanged side facing down, and
insert the spool W/sleeve into the housing. Set the cross
pin of the spool in horizontal state during insertion.

[Point 4]
O-ring
Reassembly:
Install the kin-ring and O-ring correctly.

Note:
For SST No. SJ150-9000-11, please inquire at the near-
est Danfoss service shop.
(Refer to Parts & Service News Ref. No. GE-7022 of July
Kin-ring 1, 1997 for detail.)

1. Turn the steering unit until the bore is horizontal. Guide

the outer part of the assembly tool into the bore for the
spool/sleeve.

2. Apply O-ring and kin-ring with hydraulic oil and place

them on the tool.

3. Hold the outer part of the assembly tool in the bottom

of the steering unit housing and guide the inner part of
the tool right to the bottom.

4. Press and turn the O-ring/kin-ring into position in the

housing.

5. Draw the inner and outer parts of the assembly tool out
of the steering unit bore, leaving the guide from the in-
ner part in the bore.

[Point 5]
Disassembly:
Do not remove the relief valve unless it is judged defective.
The valve seat cannot be removed.

Disassembly:
Measure the screwed-in depth of the relief valve adjusting
screw before starting disassembly.

Reassembly:
Reassemble by adjusting to the screwed-in depth of the
valve spring retainer measured before disassembly. After
installing the steering valve ASSY on the vehicle, measure
the relief pressure. If it is not within the standard range,
adjust it by changing the screwed-in depth of the retainer.

RELIEF PRESSURE
SST INSPECTION • ADJUSTMENT
1. Install an oil pressure gauge.
(1) Disconnect the hose from the steering valve P port,
and connect the adapter (SST).
SST 09450-23320-71
(2) Install the pressure gauge.
Plug size: PT1/8
2. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel slowly clock-
wise and counterclockwise.
3. Start the engine, rotate the steering wheel and measure
the relief pressure when the relief occurs.

Standard:

1 ~ 3 ton series 8040 +4090 (82+50) [1170+700 ]

J3.5 ton series 8340 +4090 (85+50) [1210+700 ]

4. If the standard is not satisfied, remove the steering valve

and make adjustment by turning the relief valve adjust-
ing screw.
