The power steering system in this
tractor is a load reaction, full hy-
draulic type.
The full hydraulic system means
that power necessary for power
steering is transferred by hydrau-
lic fluid only and therefore me-
chanical devices, such as racks
and pinions, are not installed to
the tractor. Therefore, it features
simpler structure. However, the
angles of the steering wheel and
front wheels are not bound to
each other, so they can be dif-
ferent sometimes. Therefore, the
angle of the KIOTI emblem on
the center of the steering wheel
may differ occasionally, which is
normal.

NOTE
The power steering system in this
tractor is a load reaction, full hy-
draulic type.
The load reaction type means
that the reaction force or impact
applied to the front axle is trans-
ferred to the steering wheel.
Therefore, the steering wheel
can be returned to its straight-
forward position from the turning
position.
Therefore, it is easy to control the
steering wheel during driving. (It
has automatic return function,
but its reactivity is not sensitive.)

NOTE
When driving on a road with
an implement attached to the
rear of the tractor, the contact
of the front wheels becomes
poor, resulting in poor steer-
ability. In this case, attach a
proper front weight and drive
at a low speed.

WARNING
If a malfunction occurs while
driving on a road, stop the
tractor in a safe place and ser-
vice it. If it is not possible to
move the tractor, turn on the
hazard lights and set a warn-
ing triangle behind the tractor.
Otherwise, a rear end accident
may occur.
The center of gravity of the
tractor is higher compared
to other common vehicles,
so the possibility of the roll-
over accident is very high. Be
extra careful when driving on
a lateral slope, bumpy road,
road with puddles, and nar-
row road. Make sure to set the
ROPS in its original position
(straight up position) and fas-
ten the seat belt.
