3.1.4 Trouble shooting
One prerequisite for the function of the power
assisted steering is the play in the steering. This
play must always spring back to the starting po-
sition when the wheel is released.
Test by slowly turning the wheel in one direction
when the engine is switched off. At first there is
a slight resistance, which increases when the
machine begins to turn. Release the wheel. It
should now return to the middle position.
The wheel should spring back approx. 10-20
mm when the wheel is released after turning.
However, the machine will not automatically
“drive straight forward” after turning in the same
way as a car.
If the machine always turns in the same direc-
tion as soon as the engine is started, there is
probably a fault in the torque converter.
Another conceivable fault can be that the bear-
ing in the steering column tube is jamming, so
that the steering wheel cannot automatically re-
turn to the neutral position.
Note!
If the steering does not function this does
not mean that there is always a fault in the
torque converter. Faults can also occur in
more simple mechanical parts such as
chains and gear wheels.
