(1) Steering cylinder.
When the steering wheel is turned, two double acting steering
cylinders (1) receive oil from steering control unit (2) so that the
compactor can make the desired turn. When the steering
wheel is not being turned, oil goes through the steering pump
to maintain pressure at the steering control unit. There is a
small amount of oil required to make up for losses through the
bleed orifice in the steering pump. With the steering control
unit in the spring centered position, no oil is ported to the steer
cylinders.
