cOntrOl rate
Clean and pick up the area around the vehicle and make certain that it is safe to operate. Start the engine
and check hydraulic connections for leaks. Rotate the steering wheel from one extreme to the other and
back to center, check for leaks. While steering through the extremes of movement, check the cables and
hoses for wear points and strain, adjust as necessary.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATION FROM AGCO:
After servicing of the steering cylinders and/or hydraulic hoses, any air that may be trapped in the hydraulic
system must be bled in order to provide smooth, instantaneous operation of the steering system. To bleed
the steering cylinders and/or hydraulic hoses, proceed as follows:
Jack up the rear axle (on both sides) until the rear wheels are off the ground. Securely block the rear
axle. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel as if making a right hand turn (as far as it will go) until
the left hand steering cylinder is completely retracted and the right hand steering cylinder is completely
extended. Turn the steering wheel as if making a left hand turn (as far as it will go) until the left hand
steering cylinder is completely extended and the right hand steering cylinder is completely retracted.
Repeat these steps until the steering cylinders operate smoothly and instantaneously in both directions.
