Why my Kanga 5 Series Front End Loaders machine will not drive forward or backwards?
- M
  Matthew MilesAug 18, 2025
  If your Kanga Front End Loaders machine won't drive forward or backward, it could be due to several reasons: low hydraulic system oil (check and replenish as necessary, look for leaks), a worn control valve spool (check pressure delivery and repair or replace the valve), a damaged or blocked line (remove any obstructions or replace the line), a broken or disconnected control rod or lever (repair or replace), incorrectly connected hydraulic lines at the control valve (correctly connect the lines), worn or broken drive chains (repair or replace), or a malfunctioning pump (repair or replace).

Why won't the boom raise on my Kanga Front End Loader?
- A
  Andrea CoxAug 20, 2025
  The boom might not raise on your Kanga Front End Loader due to several reasons. It could be that the load capacity has been exceeded; ensure the load does not exceed 250 kg (550 lbs). Other potential causes include a low hydraulic system oil level (check and replenish as necessary), a damaged or blocked hydraulic line (remove obstructions or replace the line), a malfunctioning hydraulic pump (repair or replace), a worn control valve spool (check pressure delivery), a lift control valve relief set too low (adjust the relief valve), or excessive oil leak past the lift cylinder piston seal (repair or replace the cylinder).

What to do if my Kanga Front End Loader engine will not crank over?
- P
  Philip RobertsonAug 23, 2025
  If your Kanga Front End Loader's engine won't crank over, it could be due to a low battery (recharge or replace), loose, disconnected, or broken battery cables (inspect and tighten connections, repair or replace cables), a faulty starter (repair or replace), faulty circuit wiring (check wiring continuity), or a flooded engine (remove spark plug and crank).

What to do if the engine cranks but does not fire on my Kanga Front End Loader?
- T
  Tracy BrownAug 26, 2025
  If the engine cranks but doesn't fire on your Kanga Front End Loader, possible causes include no fuel in the tank (refill), a fouled spark plug in petrol engines (check the spark plug gap and clean or replace), a dirty fuel filter (clean the filter), a carburetor flood in petrol engines (clear the carburetor), or a closed fuel valve (open the valve).

Why is the attachment slow or not functioning on my Kanga Front End Loader?
- A
  Amy MooreAug 28, 2025
  If the attachment on your Kanga Front End Loader is slow or not functioning, it could be due to low hydraulic system oil (check and replenish, look for leaks), a damaged or blocked line (remove obstructions or replace the line), a malfunctioning pump (repair or replace), a worn control valve spool (check pressure delivery, repair or replace the valve), a seized or damaged attachment plate pivot pin (replace pivot pin and bushing and grease), excessive oil leak past the cylinder piston seal or motor rotating group (repair or replace cylinder motor), or a broken or disconnected control rod or lever (repair or replace).

What causes erratic boom movement in my Kanga 5 Series?
- A
  Allison DawsonAug 30, 2025
  Erratic boom movement in your Kanga Front End Loaders can be caused by: * A lift control valve relief set too low, allowing oil to return to the reservoir (adjust the relief valve). * Low hydraulic system oil (check and replenish as necessary, look for leaks). * A damaged or blocked line (remove obstructions or replace the line). * A malfunctioning pump (repair or replace). * A worn control valve spool (check pressure delivery and repair or replace the valve). * Excessive oil leak past the lift cylinder piston seal (repair or replace the cylinder). * A seized or damaged boom pivot pin (replace the pivot pin and bushing and grease).

Why is the hydraulic pump so noisy on my Kanga Front End Loader?
- A
  Amanda HuntSep 2, 2025
  A noisy hydraulic pump on your Kanga Front End Loader could be due to air in the hydraulic system (check the suction side for defects and ensure no leaks exist in the suction line), low hydraulic system oil (check and replenish as necessary, look for leaks), a worn or broken drive shaft or coupling (inspect and repair or replace), or worn or chipped pump gears (repair or replace).

Why does my Kanga Front End Loader engine run but then stall?
- R
  Rebecca LandrySep 4, 2025
  If your Kanga Front End Loader engine runs but stalls, it could be due to a fouled spark plug in petrol engines (check the spark plug gap and clean or replace), a closed fuel valve (open the valve), low battery output (recharge or replace the battery), or the power take-off engaged (shift the power take-off lever into neutral).

David KellerSep 7, 2025
What causes the drive speed to be erratic on my Kanga Front End Loader?
- C
  Claudia KellySep 7, 2025
  Erratic drive speed on your Kanga Front End Loader could be caused by low hydraulic system oil (check and replenish, look for leaks), a damaged or blocked line (remove obstructions or replace the line), binding drive motor(s) (repair or replace), loose drive chain(s) (check the chain tensioner, adjust or repair), or the relief valve setting (adjust the relief valve).

Why won't the boom arm raise, or why does it raise so slowly on my Kanga Front End Loaders?
- C
  Casey WilliamsSep 10, 2025
  The boom arm on your Kanga Front End Loaders might not raise, or might raise slowly, due to several potential issues: a lift control valve relief set too low (adjust the relief valve), a worn control valve spool (check pressure delivery), excessive oil leak past the lift cylinder piston seal (repair or replace the cylinder), a broken or disconnected control rod or lever (repair or replace), or hydraulic lines incorrectly connected at the control valve (correctly connect the lines).
