the right brake is applied and cooled, and the
left-drive clutch (geared steer clutch) remains
engaged and continues to drive.

exhaust through the lower check valve (between
steer feed and steer coolant feed lines) and the
clutch-brake steer coolant line, when applica-
tion of steer is discontinued.

Full-right steer fully applies the steer clutch
so that no slippage occurs. Partial-right steer
allows the steer clutch to slip somewhat.

valve does not interrupt the flow of steer pres-
sure to the left-drive clutch (output clutch).
