Electric Power Steering System 9-1
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
This ATV is equipped with Electric Power
Steering System (EPS). To keep the
reliability of the EPS system during operation,
use the EPS system according to the
following descriptions and keep up with the
daily
inspection and maintenance
procedures.
This chapter provides important information
to safely use the EPS system. If you
encounter any problems during operation or
maintenance, please feel free to consult your
local dealer.
ADVANTAGES OF EPS SYSTEM:
1) High efficiency: A traditional hydraulic
power steering system is mechanical
and hydraulic, it has an efficiency of only
60%-70%. However, the EPS system is
mechanical and runs with an electric
motor with an efficiency rating up to
90%.
2) Less energy consumption: During
practical driving of an ATV, time used in
steering is only 5% of the total travelling
time. With hydraulic power steering
systems, as long as the engine is
running, the hydraulic pump is always in
working condition, which increases fuel
