The n on-l o ad r e a ctio n ty p e
means that the reaction force or
impact applied to the front axle
is not transferred to the steering
wheel. Therefore, this function
prevents the steering wheel from
returning to its original position
by the resistance applied to the
front wheels when turning.
These characteristics are suit-
able for tractors which are driven
mos t ly a t a l ow s p eed . T h e
features low reaction force of
the steering wheel can reduce
the operator’s fatigue during
work in which frequent turning
is required. How-ever, it may be
inconvenient when driving at a
high speed as the steering wheel
is not automatically returned to
its straight-ahead position after
turning.

NOTE
The power steering system in this
tractor is a non-load reaction, full
hydraulic 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. This function pre-
vents the steering wheel from
returning to its original position
by the resistance applied to the
front wheels which are hydrauli-
cally, not mechanically, linked to
the steering wheel. Therefore,
the angle of the KIOTI emblem
on the center of the steering
wheel may differ occasionally,
which is normal.

NOTE
wheel operation can be somewhat
difcult. Operate the steering while
tractor is in motion.
3. When a loader is mounted, adjust
the air pressure of the front wheel
to its maximum specification and
mount weight or implement on the
3 point hitch of the tractor, and re-
move the front weight to make the
front and rear balance more stable
for safe working.
4. When turning the steering wheel to
its end, the operating sound of the
safety valve (relief valve) can be
heard. Do not continuous to oper-
ate the steering wheel to a maxi-
mum right or left turn when you
hear the relief valve continually.
(OK for a short period of time) The
temperature of the hydraulic fluid
may rise, causing malfunctions.
