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 prevents
the steering wheel from return-
ing to its original position by the
resistance applied to the front
wheels which are hydraulically,
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
When driving on a road with an
implement attached to the rear
of the tractor, the friction 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.
If malfunction occurs while driv-
i
ng on a road, stop the tractor
in a safe place and service it. If
it is not possible to move the
tractor, set a warning triangle
behind the tractor. Otherwise,
an tail gate accident may occur.
The center of gravity of the trac-
t
or is higher compared to other
common vehicles, so the pos-
sibility of the 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 and fasten the seat belt.

WARNING
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 en-
gine while driving.
Do not release the steering
wheel to return to the straight-
ahead position after turning
while driving. The steering
wheel in this tractor is not a
self-return type. Releasing the
steering wheel while driving
may lead to a massive acci-
dent.
