TM 5-3825-226-24 TROUBLESHOOTING The following guide covers the steering axle for the 613BWDS Type II Sectionalized.  All other systems of the Type II Sectionalized are similar to the 613BWDNS Type I Non-sectionalized, and are covered in Systems Operation, Testing, and Adjusting, Chapters 2 and 5. PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE RECOMMENDED ACTION Steering Axle Too much force needed to turn steering wheel. 1. The pump operation is not correct. 2. Dirt in the steering system. 3. Steering Gear operation is not correct. a. Check pump, repair or replace as necessary. b. Bleed the steering system. c. Check  steering  gear,  repair  or  adjust  a! necessary. Tractor   does   not   turn   when   steering   wheel   is   slowly turned. 1. The oil level of the tank is low. 2. There is air in the steering system. 3. The pump operation is not correct. 4. Dirt in the steering system. 5. Steering gear operation is not correct. a. Fill oil tank as necessary. b. Bleed the steering system. c. Check pump, repair or replace as necessary. d. Bleed the steering system. e. Check  steering  gear,  repair  or  replace  as necessary. PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE RECOMMENDED ACTION The temperature of the oil is too hot. 1. The viscosity of the oil is wrong. 2. The   steering   relief   valve   is   not   set   correctly. See SPECIFICATIONS (TRACTOR), Chapter 1, Section 3. 3. There is a restriction in an oil passage. 4. The pump has too much wear. a. Replace with oil of the proper viscosity. b. Adjust valve. c. Bleed the steering system. d. Check pump, repair or replace as necessary. The output of the steering pump is low. 1. The oil level of the tank is low. 2. The viscosity of the oil is wrong. 3. The pump has too much wear. a. Fill oil tank as necessary. b. Replace with oil of the proper viscosity. c. Check pump, repair or replace as necessary. The pressure of the oil is low. 1. The    steering    relief    valve    opens    at    an    oil pressure   that   is   lower   than   the   pressure   in SPECIFICATIONS     (TRACTOR),     Chapter     1, Section 3. 2. The pump has too much wear. a. Adjust valve. b. Check pump, repair or replace as necessary. 7-20
