This system routes pressurized transaxle fluid
supplied by the hydrostatic transmission to a
directional valve located at the base of the
steering column. When the steering wheel is
turned, this valve directs pressure to a double
acting hydraulic cylinder, causing the steering
plate to pivot as the cylinder extends or
contracts. Tie rods attached to the steering plate
turn the front spindles.
NOTE: A noisy or sluggish hydraulic system
could be caused by a dirty power steering filter.
