Movement of rack causes movement of its control pinion. pinion B and pinion D Pinion F being then locked in posi-
tion, pinion D acts on rockers E. which in turn brinq back slide-valve C to its position of equilibrium.
NOTES :
1) Manual operation is ensured by shaft A being mechanically connected to pinion B after cancellation of clearance

2) The steering rack is hydraulically locked for any steering position, which ensures great directional stability of
the vehicle.

L'nrioblc, position of slide-valve A, allows the pressure exerted on the cam cylinder piston to be varied.
NOTE In order to make possible the powered return function. the steerinq governor supplies a pressure
of 20 i-15 bars ( 290 +173 psi ) when the vehicle is stopped f 11

POWERED RETURN
The powered return is a combination of the two preceding functions, the variable feel function controlling the
power-operation function.

After having steered the driver lets go of the
s teerinq wheel
Piston F applyinq pressure to cam H, causes the
latter to rotate.
- Pinion B in one piece with the cam rotates control
shaft A.
- Rotation of control shaft A, is transmitted to
pinion E which causes rockers D to tilt and
slidecvalve C to move which moves the rack.
This movement stops when roller G reaches

NOTE Pressure supplied by the steering governor
is applied to piston F via a variable output requlator
in order to slow down the return of the steerinq to the

These voltage regulators determine the intensity of the current in the alternator inductor in order to maintain a
constant regulated voltage at the battery terminals.

combined
o voltmeter/ammeter/ rheostat )).
Start engine, and let it idle.
Switch off the ignition, and immediately switch it back on in
order to demagnetize the voltage regulator.
Accelerate the engine so as to reach the adjustment speed for the alternator. Actuate the rheostat, smoothly
without turning it back, in order to increase the current supplied by the alternator, and read the corresponding
voltage.
Take several measurements of regulated tension, and check that the values obtained are between 13 and 14.2 volts,
taking into account the correction value due to the temperature. If the readings are not correct, replace voltage
regulator.
