How to troubleshoot hydraulic cylinder not working on Alamo FC-0002?

  If your Alamo Lawn Mower's hydraulic cylinder isn't working, start by checking the hydraulic fluid level using the sight gauge on the tank. Next, test the pump's functionality by trying another cylinder or a pressure gauge. If the pump works, inspect the line pressure, as the relief valve might be bypassing fluid at pressures that are too low. Should the cylinder still fail, examine the line for any blockages. While rare, a scored cylinder wall can cause oil to leak around the piston, necessitating cylinder replacement.

  If your Alamo Lawn Mower's hydraulic motor isn't functioning, first, check the hydraulic lines for any kinks or pinches that might be restricting flow. If the motor seems to be struggling under load, double-check the relief valve setting on the cutter valve, ensuring it's set to 2500 P.S.I.

Why hydraulic valve is not working on Alamo FC-0002?

  Andrea LewisAug 19, 2025
  Failures in the hydraulic system of an Alamo Lawn Mower are usually caused by components other than the valve itself. Therefore, it's important to inspect the entire system before assuming the valve is the issue. If a section of the hydraulic valve malfunctions, that specific section should be replaced, not the entire valve bank, as the internal parts are precisely fitted. Components like relief valves and the detent can be serviced separately.
