Nortrac 82XTC - Steering the Tractor

Operation Instruction
25
6. Always step on the clutch when changing gears to prevent damage to the transmission.
7. When driving the tractor on the road, make sure you use the turn signals to signal your direction and the
horn to warn others. Lower your speed before making a turn and make the turn slow and early. If the turn is
extremely sharp, slow your speed and take a wider angle.
8. When turning the tractor on a tight angle or on soft soil, steering becomes more difficult due to front wheel
side slip. To make the turn easier, step on brake pedal on corresponding side while making the turn.
WARNING:
1. When running the tractor at high speed, never use just one-side brake for sharp turns. Use both
brake pedals. If you hear an abnormal noise when steering, stop operation and adjust so that
you do not cause damage to the hydraulic steering system due to an overload.
2. When operating in the field, prior to turning or backing up, the parts and components of a towed
implement need to be lifted clear of the soil to prevent equipment damage or injury.
2.7 Steering the Tractor
When driving the tractor on the road, press the turn signal switch on the control console to light the
turn indicator, and then make the turn. If your speed is too high, slow down before making the turn and start
the turn early. If you have to make a large turn, make the turn at a slow speed.
When turning the tractor tightly or on spongy-soft ground, you may experience some sideslip on the front
wheel. When this happens, step on the corresponding brake pedal and rotate the wheel to make the turn.
WARNING:
1. Never make sharp turns when the tractor is moving at a high speed, as this may cause the tractor to
become unstable.
2. Before making turns or backing up during field work, lift any implements from the soil to avoid damage.
