What to do if my Capital CAEL-1T does not move?
- MMr. Jon AyalaAug 7, 2025
If your Capital Compact Excavator isn't moving, several issues could be the cause. First, check the hydraulic oil tank level and add oil if it's low, as the main pump might not be getting enough oil. A blocked oil filter could also be the culprit; replace the filter and clean the system. Other potential causes include a damaged engine coupling (replace it), a damaged main pump (repair or replace it), low or zero servo system pressure (adjust to the correct pressure, and if needed, clean the servo overflow valve or address a fatigued spring), a safety valve set at low pressure or stuck (adjust to the correct pressure, clean the valve, and address a fatigued spring), or a damaged or detached oil suction pipe of the main pump (replace it).
