When the engine is stopped, the steering wheel becomes hard to turn. But this
does not mean a failure. It can be only used in an emergency state.
▶
When releasing the steering wheel after steering operation while driving, the
steering wheel does not return to neutral position automatically.
Notice
(2) Steering system

The hydraulic steering system controlled by fluid power provides you more convenience to operate
the steering wheel.

Notices when using the steering system.
1. If there is too much of a load in front-end loader bucket, it could be difficult to operate the steering
wheel. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the size of the load.
2. Do not operate the tractor unnecessarily in a state of fully steered front wheels for a long time. As
unnecessary hydraulic force is applied to the steering linkage, it may cause damage to the steering
system and excessive increase of the hydraulic oil temperature which may cause reduction of the
product life or a failure of the hydraulic and steering system. Especially, DO NOT operate the
steering wheel excessively when a front wheel is mired in a ditch. The rim and disk of the wheel
could be damaged or deformed.
3. If an abnormal noise sounds off when operating the steering wheel, this may mean that there is
some air in the steering components or lines. In this case, turn the steering wheel to the left and right
direction fully about 2~3 times. It will exhaust the air and the abnormal noise shall disappear. If it’s
not cleared, contact your authorized local dealer for check.
4. When starting engine in cold weather, an abnormal noise may occur. In this case, warm up the
tractor before using it in order to reduce the oil viscosity.
