4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MOVING THE UNIT
Steering operation
The tractor has a hydraulic steering system which pro-
vides 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. Unnec-
essary force is applied, which could damage the steer-
ing 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 steer-
ing wheel, this means that there is some air in the steer-
ing components line. In this case, turn the steering
wheel to left and right fully and hold for about 5 sec-
onds. 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 abnor-
mal 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. Which will make the steering
wheel hard to turn.
