Steering Pump
Figure 4-14 shows the steering pump and the location
of the pressure control adjustments and stroke (flow)
adjuster.
Note: The Stroke adjuster (3, Figure 4-14) is set at the
factory to provide maximum pump flow and adjust-
ment is not normally required. If the truck is operated
at high elevations, 10,000 ft. (3,050 meters) above sea
level or more, it may be necessary to readjust the
stroke control to reduce pump flow to prevent pump
cavitation under certain conditions. If the truck is oper-
ating at high altitude and problems are experienced,
consult the Komatsu Factory Representative for adjust-
ment procedures.
Figure 4-15 shows the schematic of the pump and the
pressure control valves.
