SECTION 4 - TROUBLESHOOTING
4-4
Problem Possible cause Action
Low pump capacity Cold hydraulic oil. Let the hydraulic oil warm up to
working temperature. Increase en-
gine speed.
Engine speed too low. Increase engine speed.
Low hydraulic oil. Please refer to the tractor instruc-
tion manual for service recom-
mendations.
Restriction in hydraulic hose. Look for signs of restricted hy-
draulic hoses.
Fault in hydraulic pump. Contact your dealer.
Lift cylinder rods bend when lift
cylinders are extended
Excessive load on lift or during
transport.
Change cylinders. Review and ob-
serve proper operational practic-
es.
Bucket cylinder piston rods are
bent when bucket cylinders are
extended
Grading or excavation work with
bucket cylinders fully extended.
Change cylinders. Review and ob-
serve proper operational practic-
es.
Bucket cutting edge wear is un-
even side to side
Bucket is not parallel with ground. Check air pressure in rear tires
and level pressure to adjust buck-
et to ground.
Rapid wear on cutting edge on
bucket (wear is evenly distributed
across entire bucket width).
NOTE: Extensive use of bucket
on concrete/asphalt surface in-
creases wear on cutting edge on
bucket.
Unsuitable working methods. Ex-
cessive high down force on bucket
when it is used on a hard, abra-
sive surface.
Please refer to the “Working with
the loader” section for recom-
mended working methods. Use
the float position, if appropriate.
