D. CHECK VALVE
The check valve normally remains closed, which pre-
vents the uid from owing from its inlet side to its out-
let side directly. When the steering system is manually
operated, this valve forms the uid passage so that the
fluid returned from the steering cylinder flows to the
GEROTOR pump for recirculation.
E. RELIEF VALVE
The relief valve (9a) prevents excessive hydraulic pres-
sure from building up in steering pump and circuit. In
other words, it protects the circuit when the steering
cylinder stroke is completed or the steering is not pos-
sible due to the outer force.

A. SPOOL AND SLEEVE
The spool (22) and sleeve (23) consists of the ro-
tary valve to selectively switch the uid passage as
well as the direction of the uid ow.
There are three types of fluid passage; Neutral,
Right turn, and Left turn.
The spool is fitted to be rotatable in the sleeve,
which is tted into the bore of the valve body.
The spool and the sleeve are mechanically inter-
connected.
The springs (10), (11) are installed through the
spool (22) and sleeve (23) to maintain the connect-
ed state of the spool and the sleeve.
This position corresponds to the neutral state, and
is kept as long as the steering wheel is not turned.
The pin is fitted to the drive shaft (15) and the
sleeve (23), there being some clearance between
the pin and the holes on the spool.
Therefore, when the shaft and sleeve rotate, the
spool rotates with approx. 10° of clearance. At this
moment, a fluid passage is formed between the
spool and the sleeve to operate the steering sys-
tem. When the shaft and sleeve stop rotating, the
spool and sleeve return to their original positions
by the spring. Then, the uid passage is closed and
the return passage is open.
B. DRIVE SHAFT
The pump drive shaft (15) is slightly tilted off the
spool axis, and is splined to the pump gear of the
GEROTOR pump assembly by its bottom end.
In the event of loss of fluid pressure, turning the
steering wheel drives the GEROTOR through this
shaft to operate the steering manually.
C. GEROTOR PUMP
The gerotor pump provides the steering system with a
back-up device for steering, and operates as previously
described.
