    Why is the hydraulic system heating up in my Kesla Construction Equipment?
    • D
      Daniel GordonAug 2, 2025
      If the hydraulic system of your Kesla Construction Equipment is heating up, it could be due to several reasons. The pump might be worn, in which case you should measure the pressure when the oil is hot and replace the pump if necessary. Alternatively, the pump capacity might be too large for the valves; measure the return pressure and adjust the flow rate to a lower setting. Finally, check the oil level and add oil if there is too little in the hydraulic system.

    How to troubleshoot a Kesla Construction Equipment crane that does not move?
    • K
      Kelly DayAug 7, 2025
      If your Kesla Construction Equipment crane isn't moving, start by checking the oil tank and add oil if it's empty. Next, ensure the pressure connection is properly connected; if faulty, replace the quick coupler. If these steps don't resolve the issue, measure the pressure from the control valve's pressure end and inspect the pump pressure relief valve, as the pump might not be building up enough pressure.

    What to do if the boom is lowered at normal load on Kesla Construction Equipment?
    • T
      Troy UnderwoodAug 11, 2025
      If the boom on your Kesla Construction Equipment lowers under a normal load, it could be due to a leaking pressure relief valve, a leaking cylinder seal, or a leaking valve spool. Try replacing the pressure relief valve first. If the issue persists, replace the cylinder seals, and if needed, replace the valve seals.

    Why is my Kesla Construction Equipment crane moving slowly or without power?
    • J
      Jason AndersonAug 15, 2025
      If your Kesla Construction Equipment crane moves a little or seems powerless, start by inspecting the return connector and measure the return pressure; ensure it is properly connected. If the issue persists, the main release of the crane or the pump pressure relief valve might be faulty or dirty. Measure the pressure from the pressure end of the control valve and replace the pressure relief valve if necessary.

    What causes one function to be powerless on Kesla Construction Equipment?
    • P
      pattersonjamesAug 20, 2025
      If one option on your Kesla Construction Equipment is powerless, the spool specific pressure release valve may be faulty or dirty. To resolve this, measure the pressure of the relevant operation. If necessary, replace the pressure relief valve with a new one.

    Why are the valve spools sticky on my Kesla Construction Equipment?
    • J
      Jason SchwartzAug 25, 2025
      If the valve spools on your Kesla Construction Equipment are sticky, it could be due to several reasons. Overheated hydraulic oil can cause this issue (refer to the previous troubleshooting item for solutions). Additionally, impurities in the valve may be the cause, so check whether the oil and filters have been changed according to the recommended maintenance schedule. Lastly, the studs connecting the valve blocks might be too tight or too loose; check the tightening torques to ensure they are correct.

    What to do if the turning device body drains the oil on Kesla Construction Equipment?
    • B
      Bryan MartinezAug 28, 2025
      If the turning device body of your Kesla Construction Equipment is draining oil, it could be due to a leaking cylinder seal or shaft seal. If necessary, replace the seals. Note that seals may leak a little oil when the oils are very cold. Another potential cause is too much grease in the turning device. Try tightening by turning the spring of the shaft seal; if that doesn't work, replace the shaft seal.
