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 steerability. In
this case, attach a proper front
weight and drive at a low speed.
If a malfunction occurs while
driving on a road, stop the trac-
tor in a safe place and service
it. If it is not possible to move
the tractor, turn on the hazard
lights and set a warning triangle
behind the tractor. Otherwise, a
rear end accident may occur.
The center of gravity of the trac-
tor is higher compared to other
common vehicles, so the pos-
sibility of a roll-over accident
is very high. Be extra careful
when driving on a lateral slope,
bumpy road, road with puddles,
and narrow road. Make sure to
set the ROPS in its original po-
sition (straight up position) and
fasten the seat belt.

WARNING
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, the angle
of the KIOTI emblem on the cen-
ter of the steering wheel may dif-
fer occasionally, which is normal.
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.

NOTE
If stopping the engine while
driving, the steering perfor-
mance can become deterio-
rated due to loss of hydraulic
power, resulting in a severe
accident. Never stop the engine
while driving.
Always grip the steering wheel
using both hands while driving.
