Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

Slow Cylinder Speed

Problem

Cause

Check

Remedy

Slow cylinder speed.

Operating pressure

okay. 3,625 psi

(250 bar) minimum.

Carrier flow setting

is low.

Check flow output of

attachment hydraulic

circuit at 1000 psi

(69 bar).

Adjust control valve flow

adjustment of carrier.

Repair or replace the

carrier's pump.

Check attachment

cylinder packing.

Replace if required.

Slow cylinder speed.

Operating pressure

not okay. Less than

3,625psi (250 bar).

Carrier relief set

too low. Set below

3,800 psi (262 bar).

Measure the excavator

circuit relief valve

pressure with the shut-

off valve closed.

Adjust or replace the

carrier's circuit relief

valve.

Attachment

counterbalance

valve cartridge.

Check the counter-

balance valve cartridge

for tightness.

Tighten the counter-

balance valve cartridge.

Check the O-rings and

backup rings of the

counterbalance valve

cartridge.

Replace the O-rings

and backup rings of the

counterbalance valve

cartridge.

If additional assistance is required, call the Genesis Service Department at 715-395-5252.

Jaw Drift

• Some drift may be experienced depending on the GHG's position.

• Acceptable drift may occur over a number of minutes.

• Rapid drift may indicate a problem with the GHG's cylinder, rotary joint assembly or the

carrier’s hydraulic circuit.

Determine if Jaw Drift is Occurring from a Bad Cylinder or the Carrier

Remove the hoses from the joint fittings on the outside of the GHG's frame and close the shut-off

valves on the carrier.

Cap the joint fittings (#12 JIC).

If the jaw drifts, the problem is coming from the GHG's cylinder or rotary joint assembly. If no drift

occurs, the problem is in the carrier’s main control valve. Drift due to internal leakage of the

carrier’s main control valve may be inherent to the carrier and not solvable.
