The heavy steering wheel is generally caused by a pilot system failure. Check whether there are problems with the pressure, pipeline connection and pipeline joints of the pilot system.
The steering wheel turns flexibly, but the whole machine turns heavily. It is generally caused by a steering system failure. Check whether there are problems with the pipeline connection, oil suction pipeline, steering system pressure, cylinder, etc.
Before measuring and adjusting the system pressure, park the whole machine on a flat ground, lower the boom, level the bucket, turn off the engine, and ensure safety. Before measuring the pilot pressure, put the boom to the lowest position and the bucket to the maximum bucket angle. Before measuring the steering pressure, remove the push rod for the hydraulic limit.
The normal pressure of the pilot is: the engine is not less than 2.2MPa at the total speed throttle and not higher than 5MPa at the high speed throttle.
When measuring the steering pressure, the car must be turned to the maximum angle, in the mechanical limit state, and the steering wheel must be kept in the steering state. When the engine is at high speed, the steering system pressure reaches 15MPa.
If the above two measured pressures do not meet the specified values, they need to be readjusted. Adjusting the pilot pressure is to adjust the overflow valve at the rear of the double pump. Adjusting the steering pressure is at the end of the priority flow amplifier valve.
Check whether the pipeline connection is correct. This situation is mainly old front wheel loaders. At this time, it is necessary to focus on checking whether the pilot pump return oil and the limit valve return oil pipeline connection are correct. If the return oil pipeline is connected incorrectly, it is easy to cause problems such as increased back pressure and heavy operating force. In addition, check whether there is air intake and oil leakage in the oil suction pipeline.
