TM 5-3810-207-20/TO 36C23-3-37-12 CHAPTER 8 CARRIER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Section I.  STEERING ASSEMBLY 270. General The carrier hydropower steering gear is a cam and lever-gear design with a control valve to provide no-lag, fingertip control.  It is a compact semi-integral assembly with a hydraulic cylinder installed in the linkage to apply the necessary power for steering. 271. Hydraulic Steering Pump a. Test. (1) Disconnect  the  pressure  hose  from  the steering valve. (2) Insert  a  pressure  gage  in  the  discharge hose.    Pressure  should  be  700  to  900 pounds per square inch with the engine idling and wheels against stops. (3) Position    the    pressure    'hose    on    the steering    valve    and    secure    with    the connector nut. b. Removal. (1) Tag, disconnect, and drain pump lines. (2) Remove  the  hydraulic  pump  and  drive belt (pars. 254 and 258). c. Cleaning and Inspection. (1) Clean     all     parts     with     an     approved cleaning solvent. (2) Inspect   the   steering   pump   for   breaks, leaks,    and    other    damage.        Replace defective pump. (3) Inspect the drive belt for breaks, fraying, and  other  damage.    Replace  defective drive belt. d. Installation. (1) Install the hydraulic pump and drive belt (par. 254). (2) Adjust drive belt (TM 5-3810-20710). (3) Install pump lines and replenish hydraulic oil (LO 5-3810-207-20). 272. Steering Pump Pulley a. Removal. (1) Remove   the   steering   pump   drive   belt (par. 254). (2) Remove   the   steering   pump   pulley   as instructed on figure 166. b. Cleaning and Inspection. (1) Clean    the    pulley    with    an    approved cleaning solvent. (2) Inspect   the   pulley   for   breaks,   cracks, and  other  damage.    Replace  defective pulley. c. Installation. (1) Install  the  pump  pulley  as  illustrated  on figure 166. (2) Install the drive belt (par. 254). (3) Adjust  the  drive  belt  (TM  5-3810-207- 10). 273. Steering Pump Reservoir a. Removal. (1) Remove   the   cover   and   filter   element from the reservoir (TM 5-3810-20710). (2) Drain the reservoir (TM 54810207-10). (3) Remove the steering pump reservoir as instructed on figure 166. b. Cleaning, Inspection, and Repair. (1) Clean     all     parts     with     an     approved cleaning solvent. (2) Inspect  all  parts  for  bends,  cracks,  and other   damage.      Replace   or   repair   all defective parts. c. Installation. (1) Install   the   steering   pump   reservoir   as illustrated on figure 166. 219
