Electrical/Hydraulic Trouble Shooting  23

ELECTRICAL/HYDRAULIC TROUBLE SHOOTING

WARNING: Stand clear of the moldboard 
and  other  moving  parts  while  perform-
ing these tests.

Tools Required: Test Light or Voltage - Ohmmeter.

The  following  steps  can  be  used  to  readily  deter-
mine if your problem is electrical or hydraulic.

1.  Checking for hydraulic pump operation.

Using a test light or Volt-Ohmeter (VOM), place 
the negative test lead at point 2 in the photo-
graph and place the positive test lead at point 
1.

With the truck ignition switch turned on, the cab 
control turned on and the UP control activated, 
the  test  light  should  glow  or  the  VOM  should 
read 9 VDC or more.

If voltage is present between points 1 & 2 when 
UP is activated, but the pump does not turn on, 
the problem is with the hydraulic unit.

2.  Checking down (float) operation.

Using a test light or Volt-Ohmeter (VOM), place 
the negative test lead at point 2 in the photo-
graph and place the positive test lead at point 3.

With  the  truck  ignition  switch  turned  on,  the 
cab  control  turned  on  and  the  DOWN  control 
activated, the test light should glow or the VOM 
should read 10 VDC or more.

 

If  voltage  is  present  between  points  2  &  3 
when DOWN is activated, but the moldboard 
does not drop, the problem is with the hydrau-
lic unit.

3.  Checking Angling functions.

Using a test light or Volt-Ohmeter (VOM), place 
the negative test lead at point 2 in the photo-
graph and place the positive test lead at point 
4 or 5.

With the truck ignition switch turned on, the cab 
control  turned  on  ,  activate  the  LEFT  control. 
The test light should glow or the VOM should 
read 10 VDC or more.

If  voltage  is  present  between  points  2  &  4  or 
between 2 & 5 when LEFT is activated, but the 
angling cylinders do not extend or retract, the 
problem is with the hydraulic unit.

Using a test light or Volt-Ohmeter (VOM), place 
the negative test leads at point 2 in the photo-
graph and place the positive test lead at point 4 
or 5 (The one not tested in the steps above).

Activate the Right control, voltage should again 
be present between point 2 and 4 or between 
points 2 & 5. If voltage is present but the cylin-
ders do not extend or react, the problem is with 
the hydraulic unit.
