Steering Wheel Operating Force
1. Park the tractor on flat concrete place.
2. Start the engine. After warming up, set the engine speed at
maximum speed.
3. Set a spring balance to the steering wheel to measure the
operating force.
4. Calculate the operating torque.
5. If the torque exceeds the factory specification, check the
suction line, delivery line, and the performance of hydraulic
pump.
And then, check the steering controller.
Condition
A Engine speed ........ Maximum
A Oil temperature ..... 40 to 60 (104 to 140 )
A Tractor by itself (without any implement and weight)
