Z-45/25 Turns when petal is pushed

Farmers · 2025-11-19 14:23

When the petal is pushed down, the wheels shutter mildly and slowly the wheels make their way towards the left. This just started happening. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thank you. Z452507-33656 Deutz 2007

    I assume you are talking about a GENIE lift? If that is so do the other functions work ok? Some more history on it would be helpful to.

    Hi, all functions work however the wheels turn on their own when the pedal is down and while others movements are being made. It’s not a steady turning, it’s jittery. Genie lift. Thank you

    Does it turn when you use any functions or just on drive functions. It sounds like you have hydraulic pressure bleeding into the steer circuit for somewhere else. I tend to think it is a hydraulic problem and not an electrical problem. You need to put a pressure gauge at the left steering output line on the hydraulic valve manifold to see if you are getting some pressure there when you move other functions. If not check the same outlet line down on the rotary manifold to see if it is happening there. You can download the service manual on Genie's website to get the schematics. Their manuals are very helpful.

    Hi Mr Wench, Thank you for taking the time to help us. My family decided to call in a mechanic and he replace the board behind the joystick controls and calibrated them. I’m told that resolved the issue. Thanks again
