3.3 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 position when the wheel is released.
Test by slowly turning the wheel in one direction when the engine is switched off. At rst
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 direction as soon as the engine is started, there is
probably a fault in the torque converter.
Another conceivable fault can be that the bearing in the steering column tube is jamming,
so that the steering wheel cannot automatically return to the neutral position.
Note:
If the steering does not function, this does not mean that there is always
a fault in the steering booster. Faults can also occur in more simple
mechanical parts such as chains and gear wheels and sprockets.
Important: Transmission replacement is not an option to solve steering issue.
The machine has to tested always in motion when the steering is used. Avoid turning
the steering wheel when the machine is standing completely still and the accessory is in
lowered working position.
Testing the machine with the engine at maximum rpm and assure that the tires have the
right pressure.
