Notifications about steering

NOTE: When the engine is not running, the steering is not power-assisted.
3.8.2

Power shuttle

You can change the driving direction smoothly with the power shuttle lever. The
engagement of the power shuttle is automatic.
You can request a driving direction change with the power shuttle lever at any
driving speed, but the transmission starts to engage the new driving direction only
when the speed is below 10 km/h. If the driving speed is higher, the traction
releases and the transmission goes into idle until the speed is low enough. The
new direction arrow starts to flash to indicate that the driving direction change has
been requested. The direction arrow is constantly lit when the new direction has
engaged. If you return the power shuttle lever to the original direction when the
driving speed is still over 10 km/h, the traction engages immediately.
WARNING: If the engine stops while the tractor is moving (for
example, the fuel has run out), do not press the clutch pedal down.
When the tractor is moving and the transmission is engaged, the
engine is running and there is pressure in the system. If you press
down the clutch pedal, the hydraulic pump does not run and steering
deactivates, because there is no hydraulic pressure in the system.
CAUTION: If a malfunction occurs in the steering system, stop the
tractor and correct the malfunction before restarting.
