Hydrostatic System
Problem Possible Cause Remedy
No response from
either the
hydrostatic drive or
the lift/tilt systems.
Hydraulic oil viscosity is too heavy.
Hydraulic oil supply is too low.
Drive coupling failure.
Allow longer warm-up or replace existing oil
with the proper viscosity oil.
Check for low oil level in reservoir. Add oil.
Replace the coupling.
Traction drive will
not operate in either
direction.
Parking brake is engaged.
Hydraulic oil supply is low.
Control rod linkage disconnected.
Low or no charge pressure.
Hydrostatic pump(s) relief valves are
malfunctioning.
Disengage parking brake.
Check for low oil level in reservoir. Add oil.
Check linkage connection at control levers
and neutral centering mechanisms.
Reconnect linkage.

to acceleration.
Air in the hydraulic system.
Automatic parking brake partially
engaged.
Hydraulic oil supply is too low.
Low hydrostatic system charge pressure.
Drive motor(s) or hydrostatic pump(s)
have internal damage or leakage.
Cycle lift and tilt cylinders to maximum
stroke and maintain pressure for a short
time to clear air from system. Also check for
low oil level in Reservoir, fill as needed.
