I pulled that off the internet to simply get the answer to the question and you answered it.
So, equal pressure on each side of the “center section” will result in no movement.
The next question is can the actuating rod be moved with the pressure applied to each chamber then the answer is yes because in the case of the rear cylinder, all chambers in straight forward position, are connected and have equal pressure in the system. The chambers I’m talking about are connected together. They could have their own accumulator and then we’d have two closed looped systems working to operate the Tag tires. I know… that’s getting out there but it could be a redundant system to stabilize the rear cylinder in the event the primary steering system has a pressure failure like I originally had… just saying.
Now, I don’t know this for a fact but I’ve not read anything about valving in the “anchored” side of the rear cylinder however, there is a section that has a bottom drain.
When the cylinder is centered, the valve/port can be opened and there should be minimal fluid present and no loss of pressure/fluid.
this is the section with the drain.
Troubleshooting section of manual discussing bottom drain.
We will figure this system out… ????
