(2) Hydraulic tank. (3) Electric motor (130G shown). (4) Hydraulic pump. (5) Supply line. (6) Suction line.
Hydraulic tank (2) is located directly in front of the engine compartment. The tank is designed so
the suction line (standpipe) for supplemental steering pump (4) is several inches shorter than the
suction line (standpipe) for the main hydraulic pump. This assures (guarantees) a supply of oil in
the hydraulic tank just for the supplemental steering system. Hydraulic pump (4) is driven by
electric motor (3). Hydraulic oil is pulled from tank (2) through line (6) by pump (4). Pressure oil
is then pumped through line (5) to the steering accumulator.

(7) Priority valve (hidden). (8) Pressure switch.
Pressure switch (8) is mounted in priority valve (7). Switch (8) senses main hydraulic pump output
pressure. If primary hydraulic oil pressure falls below approximately 700 kPa (100 psi), switch (8)
opens. The open is read by control module (14), which then powers up electric motor (3).
Also mounted in the priority valve is a check valve that is part of the supplemental steering
system. It is installed in the signal line from the steering metering unit. The check valve prevents
loss of signal oil from the steering metering unit through the priority valve.

(12) Steering accumulator. (13) Block.
Electric motor (3) drives pump (4), which pumps supply oil through line (5). Oil flows through the
tee and line (9) to steering accumulator block (13). Accumulator (12) with block (13) are mounted
along the inside edge of the cab by the left hand steps.
At 17 250 ± 700 kPa (2500 ± 100 psi), relief valve (10) opens. Pump oil is then directed through
return line (11) to the hydraulic tank.
There is a check valve at the end of line (9) where it joins with block (13) at the base of the
steering accumulator. This prevents reverse flow back through line (9) once the steering
accumulator is charged.
On 14G and 16G Motor Graders, there is an additional check valve in the return line to tank where
supplemental return oil joins oil cooler return oil. This directs supplemental return oil flow back to
tank and not backwards through the oil cooler.

(16) Steering fault indicator light. (17) Supplemental steering motor indicator light. (18) Supplemental steering
switch. (19) Master fault light.
With disconnect switch (15) in the operate position, the supplemental steering system will perform
a three second power-up test when key start switch (1) is turned ON. For three seconds, electronic
control module (14) will turn ON supplemental steering motor (3) [which operates pump (4)] and
motor status light (17). During the three second test, the operator should be able to steer with
normal effort. The three second test allows the operator a quick check to make sure th front wheels
turn under supplemental steering conditions. During the three seconds, supplemental steering
motor status light (17) is also checked.
Until the engine is started, steering fault indicator light (16) and master fault light (19) will
FLASH. This indicates that supplemental steering electronic control module (14) is not activated.
The module becomes activated after the engine is started.
Engine Start Up
After the three second power-up test, the operator starts the engine. As the engine comes up to
speed, the primary steering hydraulic system pressure closes normally open pressure switch (8).
Also, the alternator "R" terminal voltage rises to approximately 24 volts. Supplemental steering
electronic control module (14) senses (feels) both switch (8) closing and "R" terminal voltage, and
does the following:
1. Turns OFF steering fault indicator light (16) and master fault light (19).
2. Puts electronic control module (14) in an activated condition.
Only in this activated condition will a loss of pressure at pressure switch (8) cause the circuit to
turn ON supplemental steering motor (3).
After Engine Start Up - Warning Conditions

After the engine has been started, the warning conditions have the following meaning:
1. The steering fault indicator light (16) and master fault light (19) will FLASH and the horn
will sound if the primary steering system pressure is lost.
2. Supplemental steering motor status light (17) indicates that the supplemental steering
motor is running.
If either of the two warning conditions are observed, the operator

should bring the machine to a stop as soon as possible and have the
complete hydraulic and steering system checked before further machine
operation.
Electrical System
Supplemental Steering Electrical System Schematic
Supplemental steering control module (1) turns ON electric motor (9), motor status light (8),
steering fault indicator light (5), the master fault light and horn through three inputs. These three
inputs are from alternator "R" terminal (4), engine governor switch (2) and steering pressure
switch (3).
Alternator "R" Terminal

The electronic control module is connected to alternator "R" terminal (4). After engine start up,
voltage from alternator "R" terminal (4) activates an internal latch (electronic "fastener") in the
electronic control module, which activates the automatic supplemental steering system. After start
up, the latch makes the supplemental steering system independent of the alternator "R" terminal
current. It is unlatched by the governor switch, the disconnect switch or the key start switch.
Engine Governor Switch

(2) Governor Switch.
(10) Accelerator pedal.
Engine governor switch (2) is normally open (N.O.). In the closed position, the switch prevents
automatic actuation of the supplemental steering motor during normal engine shutdown.
Pull up by hand accelerator pedal (10) to both shutdown the engine and close governor switch (2).
Steering Pressure Switch

(3) Pressure switch. (11) Priority valve (hidden).
Steering pressure switch (3) is mounted in the body of priority valve (11). When the governor is in
its normal operating position and primary steering system pressure falls below approximately 700
kPa (100 psi) (either as a result of engine failure or primary hydraulic system failure upstream of
the steering valve), steering pressure switch (3) opens. This provides the input to the electronic
control module to turn supplemental steering ON. Primary hydraulic pressure must return to 1206
kPa (175 psi) or above to close pressure switch (3).
Electronic Control Module

(1) Electronic Control Module.
EMS Panel
(5) Steering fault indicator light. (6) Supplemental steering switch. (8) Supplemental steering motor indicator light.
(12) Master fault light.
Electronic control module (1) controls the three second power-up test and [depending on switch
(6) position] controls automatic actuation of the supplemental steering system.
In the automatic switch position, the following condition(s) must exist before electronic control
module (1) actuates electric motor (9) and indicator light (8):
1. Electronic control module (1) must have been actuated (placed in ready position) by
voltage from alternator "R" terminal (4).
2. Loss of hydraulic oil pressure with governor switch (2) in its normal operating position.
3. Steering pressure switch (3) is open.
With these conditions present, electronic module (1) closes magnetic switch (7). This completes
the circuit to supplemental steering pump motor (9) and to motor indicator light (8). At the same
time, electronic control module (1) actuates steering fault indicator light (5), master fault light (12)
and the horn.
Magnetic Switch And Electric Motor
Inside Engine Compartment From Right Side

(7) Magnetic switch. (9) Electric motor.
The motor can also be actuated by holding spring loaded automatic/manual switch (6) in the
manual position. With the key start swith ON, this action will bypass electronic control module (1)
and it's three sensor inputs and closes magnetic switch (7), turning ON motor indicator light (8).
This position of the Auto/Manual switch is generally used only to test the supplemental steering
pump and the motor status light, or turn the front wheels while testing the system. Supplemental
steering pump motor (9) is mounted to the left front in the engine compartment.
The machine's batteries must have a normal charge and the

supplemental steering electrical system must be okay. A low charge
condition, or any defect in the battery, battery cells, or electrical circuit
can cause loss of supplemental steering and could result in personal
injury and/or damage to the machine.

System Operation
The supplemental steering system provides supplement (back up) hydraulic oil flow to the
pressure port of the steering metering pump if the engine or the main hydraulic pump should fail.
Supplemental steering pump (5) pulls oil from hydraulic tank (13) through line (12). Pressure oil
is then sent through line (7) to steering accumulator (9) and steering metering unit (3).
The supplemental steering system is isolated from the primary hydraulic system oil by three check
valves. Check valve (11) is located in the base of the steering accumulator in line (7). It allows
pressure oil from pump (5) to charge the steering accumulator and supply oil to metering unit (3).
Once pump (5) has been shut off, the check valve prevents the loss of accumulator stored pressure
oil back through pump (5). Check valve (16) is installed in priority valve (17). It prevents steering
120G Motor Grader 4HD00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY 3304 Engine(SE... Page 10 of 11
metering unit signal oil from flowing back into the primary hydraulic system through the priority
valve. Check valve (18) is installed in the base of accumulator (9) in the supply line from the
priority valve. It prevents supplemental steering pressure oil from flowing back into the primary
hydraulic system through the priority valve.
When turning the steering wheel, steering metering unit (3) sends pressure oil [from pump (5) or
accumulator (9)] to the respective head and rod ends of steering cylinders (1).
Automatic Actuation
With the Automatic/Manual switch in the automatic position, the pressure sensing switch in
priority valve senses when hydraulic pressure falls below 700 ± 103 kPa (100 ± 15 psi). The
pressure switch electrically tells the supplemental steering electronic control module that there is a
loss of pressure. The control then turns ON electric motor (4). Motor (4) drives hydraulic pump
(5) to charge the steering system with pressure oil. The supplemental steering system is then ready
for a steering demand.

NOTICE
Once the supplemental steering system has been activated, it should

remain ON no more than two minutes. This should be sufficient time to
safely steer the machine to a stop. When the machine is stopped, turn
the key start switch to the OFF position to turn OFF supplemental
steering. Prolonged use of the supplemental steering system will cause
electric motor (4) to overheat and cause damage to it's components.
The machine's batteries must have a normal charge and the

supplemental steering electrical system must be okay. A low charge
condition, or any defect in the battery, battery cells, or electrical circuit
can cause loss of supplemental steering and could result in personal
injury and/or damage to the machine.

Manual Actuation
Auto/Manual Supplemental Steering Switch

(1) Switch (auto position).
The supplemental steering system is also manually activated by keeping spring loaded
Auto/Manual switch (1) in the manual position. This is used to turn the wheels while testing the
system or to make steering adjustments while towing the machine.
