1. 6 AutoSteer System Installation Procedure To install the solenoid valves 1 Follow the instructions provided with your AutoSteer kit or AutoSteer valve to install the AutoSteer valve and the oil supply hoses Pressure Tank LS Follow all safety instructions in this manual as well as those provided with your AutoSteer kit Before installing the right and left AutoSteer hoses refer to the Hose Diagram on page 5 for the correct position of the reactive steering solenoid valves in the vehicle steering circuit Check if the cartridges on the two solenoid valves are fully threaded and tight Check if the solenoid coils are tight and secured by the hex nut Do not over tighten the hex nut 4 6 ft 1bs Max 5 8 Nm Max For an example of a fully assembled Solenoid valve see Figure 2 1 Note The exact configuration of the hose adapters used to install the solenoid valves will depend on the vehicle and the space available for installing the two solenoids The hose adapters must match the type of hose fittings used on the vehicle JIC ORFS Metric etc Female thread adapters may allow the installation of the solenoids directly on the Orbitrol right and left steer port Some vehicles with limited space around the Orbitrol may require jumper hoses to install the solenoids away from the Orbitrol Note The solenoid valve has two ports and either port can be used as an IN or OUT port This means that you can rotate th2. the AutoSteer valve PN 200 0457 01 on reactive steering vehicles without installing the solenoid valves will result in sluggish AutoSteering Also the steering wheel will rotate slowly right and left while in AutoSteer mode Manual steering is not affected if you do not install the solenoid valves on a reactive steering vehicle Note Do not install the reactive steering solenoid valves with AutoSteer valves that are not covered in this manual Theory of Operation The reactive steering kit provides two 12V normally open solenoid valves that are installed on the right and left steering lines close to the Orbitrol along with the AutoSteer valve The solenoids are normally open NO and allow normal steering oil flow between the Orbitrol and the steering cylinder when AutoSteer is disengaged When AutoSteer is engaged the two solenoid valves close and block oil flow across the Orbitrol thus preventing the rotation of the steering wheel while AutoSteering In AutoSteer mode the steering wheel will feel locked and will not rotate until AutoSteer is disengaged Note The solenoid valves are rated for a maximum oil flow of 6 GPM 27 L min and a maximum operating pressure of 3000psi 210 bar The two threaded ports are size SAE 6 ORB 9 16 18 2 AutoSteer System Kit Components Kit Components The parts in this kit are shown in Figure 1 1 and its components are defined in Table 1 1 Figure 1 1 Reactive Steering Kit PN 200
3. type of solenoid valve The solenoid valve should be Normally Open in other words it should be OPEN when not energized and CLOSED when energized with 12 volts You can check the correct operation of the solenoid valve by blowing compressed air through it Issue Steering wheel is turning while in AutoSteer mode Solution This means the solenoid is either not installed in the correct location in the steering circuit or the cable harness is not connected to the solenoids Check the cable harness and position of the solenoid in the steering circuit Issue AutoSteer valve does not steer the vehicle Solution Check if the solenoid valve is installed in the correct position in the steering circuit Issue Manual kick out behavior is different if you turn the steering wheel left or right Solution This will occur if only one of the two solenoids is closing when AutoSteer is engaged Check cables connectors and solenoid coils Normal coil resistance should be 6 Ohms Issue Coils are hot when AutoSteer is engaged Solution It is normal for the coils to feel warm or hot after AutoSteer has been engaged for a long time Heating is caused by the electrical current and also the hot oil flowing through the steering circuit To avoid excessive heating do not cover the coils and keep them clean and free of a buildup of mud or other debris Issue Manual steering feels hard when turning the steering wheel quickly Solution This may happen in v
