power steering question

I have a 95' 250 with the 351w and my question is when the front tires are off the ground and I turn the wheels or if I turn the steering wheel the fluid pushes out the pump. I can under stand if I just turn the tires but why the steering wheel? Thanks for the help Gents.

It's a Ford thing. I don't understand it either, but it's normal. Don't turn the wheels with the engine off in the future.
