The steering wheel can be height-adjusted by
75 mm and inclined at any angle within 30°.
Operation_Pic_number:1
Height adjustment:
● Lift lever half way.
Height and angle adjustment:
● Pull up lever all the way.
DANGER:
In case of complete failure of the
hydraulic power for the assisted
steering, the tractor remains
controllable. However, greater force
is required to steer.
Do not exceed 10 km/h!
Stop the tractor immediately if there
is a fault with the hydrostatic
steering. Have the fault repaired as
soon as you can at a FENDT service
workshop.
Never adjust the steering wheel
while the tractor is moving!

17.1 General notes on hydraulic
operations
Only operate three-point linkage externally from
a safe position.
For road transport, raise the implement to the
necessary height and lock the operating levers.
Make sure the EPC is positioned in transport po-
sition. When transporting a plough with castor
support wheel, lock lateral stabilisers and un-
hook top link. When cornering, allow for over-
hang and the oscillating weight of the implement.
Before leaving the tractor, fully lower mounted
implements. Switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key. Make sure detached imple-
ments are securely parked.
Three-point implement must have standardised
connection dimensions; if necessary, fit suitable
ball profile for quick-release coupling to towbar
mounting.
Do not operate the hydraulics with cold oil. If ne-
cessary, allow the engine to run at medium
speed for a few minutes.
Stop tractor immediately in case of overheating
of hydraulics.
DANGER:
When working with hydraulic
equipment, make sure no one is
standing within the working area.
Do not stand beneath a raised load.
Always follow the accident
prevention regulations!
When hydraulic operation is
complete, lock all hydraulic valves.
DANGER:
When hitching implements to the
tractor, there is a risk of injury.
Never stand between tractor and
attachment without having first
secured the vehicle to prevent it
from rolling away. (Apply parking
brake, chock the wheels.)
