Introduction

Power Steering

The ReelmasterR 5200-D/5400-D is equipped with
power steering. The power steering valve is enclosed in
the steering tower at the front of the traction unit. As the
steering wheel is turned, the steering valve meters hy-
draulic fluid to the double-acting steering cylinder on the
rear axle and turns the wheels. Hydraulic fluid flow for
power steering is supplied by section P3 of the hydraulic
pump. Hydraulic pump section P3 has a built–in relief
valve.
Note: Because the steering cylinder has different dis-
placements when extended and retracted, the steering
wheel will not return to its original position after making
a turn.
Note: The steering system will operate with the en-
gine off if necessary (with increased effort).

Brakes

The ReelmasterR 5200-D/5400-D is equipped with 7
inch diameter, 1-3/4 inch wide mechanical drum brakes
on the front wheels (Fig. ).
Two pedals are used to control the brakes. When used
separately, the pedals can control each wheel brake to
assist steering or traction on side hills. The two pedals
may be locked together with the brake lock arm. When
the lock arm is engaged both wheels will brake equally
and act as a service brake or parking brake.
The brake pedals operate the brakes through a cable
system to a strut and lever on the brake shoes.
