What to do if hoses cannot be coupled to the HURST KL-32?
If the hoses cannot be coupled, first set the hydraulic pump to pressureless circulation. If that doesn't work, relieve the pump. If the issue persists, the coupling may be defective and needs immediate replacement.
What causes a leak on the handhold of my HURST KL-32 Spreader?
If there's a leak on the handhold of your HURST Spreader, it could be due to a load increase; secure the loads and use other tools to move them. It may also be due to pressure release in the tool; no further leak is present following the reduction in pressure. Check if the hoses in the handhold are not tightened and tighten them if needed. Finally, check if the supply and return connections of the mono-coupling are inverted and reconnect them correctly.
What should I do if I see hydraulic fluid leaking on the hoses of my HURST Spreader?
If you notice hydraulic fluid leaking on the hoses or fixing-ins of your HURST Spreader, it indicates a leak or possible damage. Replace the hoses immediately.
What to do if the star grip doesn’t return to the central position on my HURST Spreader?
If the star grip on your HURST Spreader doesn’t return to the central position after release, it's likely due to damage to the torsion spring for reset. Have it repaired by an authorized dealer, HURST-trained personnel, or HURST itself.
What to do if there is a leak in the couplings of my HURST KL-32?
If there's a leak in the couplings of your HURST Spreader, it's likely due to coupling damage, and the coupling must be replaced immediately.
What to do if there is a leak on the handhold of HURST KL-32?
If there is a leak on the handhold, and it's because the return hose is not coupled correctly or not connected, re-connect the return hose and secure it. If the hose connections to the couplings are interchanged, reconnect the hoses to the coupling in the right way. If the return line is disabled, disconnect the return line from the coupling, clean it and reconnect it.
What causes hydraulic fluid leaks on the piston rod of a HURST KL-32 Spreader?
If the hydraulic fluid leaks on the piston rod of your HURST Spreader, it indicates a defective rod seal. Have it repaired by an authorized dealer, HURST-trained personnel, or HURST itself.
Why doesn’t my HURST KL-32 perform at its given power?
If the device isn’t performing at its given power, it may be due to insufficient hydraulic fluid in the pump. Top off the hydraulic fluid and deaerate the system.
Why is it frequently not possible to couple hose assemblies with the HURST Spreader mono-coupling system?
If the mono-coupling system frequently fails to couple hose assemblies, it might be due to hydraulic fluid not adapted to the application, requiring a replacement (refer to the chapter on recommended hydraulic fluids). Alternatively, the coupling could be defective and needs immediate replacement.
How to fix slow or jerky spreader arm movement on a HURST KL-32?
If the spreader arms on your HURST Spreader move slowly or jerkily, it's likely due to air in the hydraulic system. Deaerate the pump system to resolve this.
