4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Moving the unit
Steering - Operation
The tractor has a hydraulic steering system which provides convenience when operating the steering wheel. A non-
load reaction system keeps the steering wheel from moving when the impact of the front wheels travel over rough
ground.
Operating notes
• If there is too much of a load in the front bucket, it could be difficult to operate the steering wheel. In this case,
reduce the size of the load or move the tractor slowly forward while turning the steering wheel in the direction of
desired travel.
• After turning the steering wheel fully, do not turn the steering wheel fully to the same direction again. Unnecessary
force is applied, which could damage the steering system.
NOTICE: Do not hold the steering wheel fully to the left or right for more than 10 seconds, it could cause a failure
in the steering system.
• If an abnormal sound is heard while operating the steering wheel, this means that there is some air in the steering
components line. In this case, turn the steering wheel to left and right fully and hold for about 5 seconds. The air
should bleed out and the abnormal noise should go away. If the sound does not go away take your tractor to your
authorized NEW HOLLAND dealer.
• When operating the tractor in cold weather, the abnormal sound may be heard. In this case, warm up the tractor
before using to reduce the oil viscosity.
• If you use the tractor for a long period of time while turning the steering wheel fully, the oil temperature will increase
which may cause the reduction of the product life or the failure of the hydraulic steering system.
NOTE: If the engine stops, the hydraulic power for the steering system will stop. The loss of hydraulic power will
make the steering wheel hard to turn.
