  If your Terex Compact Loader has no steering movement, it could be due to several reasons. The oil supply to the pump might be interrupted, or the suction line might need checking and repair. Other potential causes include a damaged hydraulic pump (repair or replace), a damaged steering cylinder (repair), a mechanical fault (repair), a damaged priority valve, or a damaged hand metering unit. For issues with the priority valve or hand metering unit, it is recommended to call a Service Agent.

  If your Terex Compact Loader's hydrostatic travel drive lacks a neutral position, the switch for travel direction or the solenoids of the valve may be damaged, requiring replacement or repair. The neutral position might also be incorrectly adjusted, which requires checking and recalibration. In this case it is recommended to call a Service Agent. Alternatively, there could be internal damage to the travel pump, necessitating its replacement.
