TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
Regular lubrication and service will significantly minimize the need for troubleshooting
this unit; however, any piece of mechanical equipment in regular usage can
malfunction. When troubleshooting this unit use the schematic drawings as well as
chart information that follows. If factory assistance is then required, personnel familiar

the engine is covered in the engine section of Chapter 5.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
The troubleshooting chart (Figure 1) presented on the up-coming pages will help in
diagnosing problems. Because of different working environments and maintenance
intervals it is impossible to foresee all of the types of problems that might arise during
a unit's service life; however this chart covers the most likely symptoms, their causes,
and remedies.
NOTE: It is important to realize that whenever attempting to troubleshoot a unit,
symptoms may overlap with each other. Thus, it is best to check all of the
possibilities associated with a symptom to be sure that the right components are
being repaired or replaced.
•
Whenever disconnecting a hydraulic hose to check for leakage from a valve or
cylinder, always plug or cap hose to prevent excessive oil loss. Also, position a
receptacle to catch the oil from the valve or cylinder port being observed.
•
Whenever a troubleshooting or repair procedure causes oil to be lost from the
hydraulic system, remember to refill the system before operating the unit.
