6. About the Power Steering

WARNING

●While the engine is running on the tractor equipped with the power steering feature, the steering wheel can turn with a minimum force. NEVER operate the steering wheel suddenly, especially while traveling on a paved road. Otherwise, an accident can occur.

The power steering feature is operative only when the engine is running. Note that when the engine is running at a lower speed, the steering wheel will need slightly greater force. This is considered normal operation.

IMPORTANT:

●Fully turning the steering wheel will cause the relief valve to trip and an audible signal will sound. This situation may be ignored only for a short duration. NEVER operate the steering in relief for a prolonged period.

●Turning the steering wheel while the tractor is not running can promote damage on the tires and rims. Avoid such an action whenever possible.
