Description of Operation
Hydraulic Pump
The hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic oil flow to the priority
flow control valve (Figure 9-1).
Priority Flow Control Valve
The priority flow control valve in normal operation supplies oil
to the accumulator charging valve. If oil is required for the
steering operation the priority flow control valve shifts to
furnish flow to the steering system. (See Steering System,
page 10-1.) The priority flow control valve also includes the
relief valve used to protect the steering and brake systems.
