🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a six-way valve in older steering gear systems (what did it let you do with the two pumps and the telemotor? • How automatic isolation and non-return (check) valves can prevent backflow between pumps in a hydraulic circuit • Differences between a manual changeover device and an automatic changeover arrangement in modern steering gears

💭 Think About

• In the old system, what problem did the six-way valve solve when switching between steering gear pumps or isolating a faulty side? • Looking at GS-0123, what components now prevent one pump from driving or backfeeding the other when only one pump is in use? • Which choice describes a feature that would work continuously and automatically, without needing the helmsman to operate a separate valve every time he changes pumps?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify on the GS-0123 diagram where each pump’s discharge and return lines are protected from reverse flow. • Decide which answer choice actually replaces the function of the six-way valve (automatic changeover and isolation), not just adds extra equipment. • Check that your selected option would allow one pump to run while the other stands by without manual manipulation of a multi-port valve.
