Question by: Dean H on Oct 18, 2025, 5:59 PM

What size flow rate does this steering unit handle?

Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 20, 2025, 6:34 AM

This Char-Lynn steering unit is designed to handle a flow rate up to 19 liters per minute. That translates to roughly 3 to 5 gallons per minute, so it's a good fit for smaller machines.
