416E (S/N: SHA1-UP; CBD1-UP)
422E (S/N: HBE1-UP; DSK1-UP)
428E (S/N: SNL1-UP; DXC1-UP)

Introduction
The steering system in some Backhoe Loaders has experienced problems. There are certain procedures that
will allow you to discover the problems in the steering system.

Problem
Some of the causes for hard steering are listed below:
The orifice of the spool for the priority valve is filled with debris.
The priority spool can be stuck.
The relief valve is functioning incorrectly.
The shuttle valve is functioning incorrectly.

Solution
Follow the charts that are shown below. The charts will help you identify your steering problems.
