(1) Power Steering Handle
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER STEERING
1. The power steering function is acti-
vated only while the engine is run-
ning. However, the steering wheel
becomes slightly heavier when the
engine is running at a low speed.
The steering wheel can be operat-
ed but becomes very heavy while
the engine is stopped.
2. If you operate the steering wheel,
with the tractor halted, using the
implement equipped in front of the
TE1O509A
loader and the like, the steering
wheel operation can be getting a
little heavy. Operate the steering
wheel moving the tractor in this
case.
3.
When a loader is mounted, adjust
the air pressure of the front wheel
to its maximum specification and
mount weight or implement on the
3 point hitch of the tractor, and re-
move the front weight to make the
front and rear balance more stable
for safe working.
4.
When turning the steering wheel
to one side, the operating sound
of the safety valve (relief valve)
is heard. Do not operate the trac-
tor keep the valve sound is heard
continually (OK for a short period
of time). The temperature of the
hydraulic fluid may rise, causing
malfunction.
The non-load reaction type
means that the reaction force or
impact applied to the front axle
is not transferred to the steering
wheel. Therefore, this function
prevents the steering wheel from
returning to its original position
by the resistance applied to the
front wheels when turning.
These characteristics are suit-
able for tractors which are driven
mostly at a low speed. The
features low reaction force of
the steering wheel can reduce
the operator’s fatigue during
work in which frequent turning
is required. However, it may be
inconvenient when driving at a
high speed as the steering wheel
is not automatically returned to
its straight-ahead position after
turning.
