    Why is the hydraulic oil temperature rising too fast in my SUNWARD Excavator?
    • T
      thompsonwilliamAug 15, 2025
      If the hydraulic oil temperature in your SUNWARD Excavator rises too fast or becomes too high, it could be due to dirt on the surface of the oil cooler. Try cleaning the oil cooler. Another cause can be wear of hydraulic parts and reduction of the cubage efficiency, in this case you should contact the dealer. Also, check if the overflow valve and overload valve are opening too frequently. If so, avoid over digging or overloading, and consider changing your digging method.

    How to fix a noisy hydraulic pump in my SUNWARD Excavator?
    • D
      Danielle SmithAug 18, 2025
      A noisy hydraulic pump and vibratory pipeline in your SUNWARD Excavator could be due to several reasons. First, there might be air bubbles in the hydraulic system; check for air leakage at the oil pump inlet pipeline. Second, the hydraulic oil might be aging, degenerative, mixed with moisture, or of the wrong brand and specification, which can produce bubbles; in this case, replace the oil. Also, low hydraulic oil temperature and high viscosity of the hydraulic oil can be a cause; run the engine at low revs and then warm it up. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the problem may be a hydraulic malfunction, and you should consult with your dealer.

    What to do if control levers don’t work on SUNWARD SWE18UF?
    • G
      Gary HolmesAug 22, 2025
      If the control levers on your SUNWARD Excavator don’t work or work slowly, several factors could be the cause. If the machine has been out of use for a long time, air may have separated from the oil and is now floating in the pilot control pipeline and hydraulic cylinder. Try operating the control levers several times. Another cause may be low hydraulic oil temperature and high viscosity; in this case, warm up the machine. Also, check the hydraulic control system, low-pressure relief valve, and gear pump for no pressure or exceeding pressure in the pilot system. For hydraulic pump malfunction or main safety relief valve malfunction consult with your dealer.

    Why is one track not working on my SUNWARD Excavator?
    • D
      David DavidsonAug 26, 2025
      If one track of your SUNWARD Excavator doesn’t work or moves very slowly, consider the following potential causes. First, the control pilot valve could be malfunctioning, so repair it. For other causes, such as a malfunctioning reversing valve and stop valve, center connector seal damage, hydraulic motor malfunction, travel redactor fault, or unequal displacement of the duplex hydraulic pump, consult with the dealer.

    Why is the slewing platform on my SUNWARD Excavator not working properly?
    • J
      jonesmatthewAug 28, 2025
      If the slewing platform on your SUNWARD Excavator doesn’t slew, slews slowly, or doesn’t slew smoothly, there are several possible causes. The corresponding pilot valve may be malfunctioning, so repair it. You may need to add lubricant grease into the slewing bearing. If the issue persists, it could be due to hydraulic motor malfunction, slewing retarder malfunction, or slewing bearing malfunction, in such case consult with your dealer or repair.

    What causes a cylinder to not work on a SUNWARD Excavator?
    • E
      Emily DavisSep 1, 2025
      If a cylinder on your SUNWARD Excavator doesn’t work or works slowly, the cause could be a malfunctioning corresponding pilot valve, in this case repair it. If the hydraulic cylinder interior seals are damaged, replace the oil seals. For other potential issues such as a malfunctioning corresponding reversing valve, overload valve, or a damaged hydraulic cylinder rod, consult with your dealer.

    • A
      Amber KellySep 7, 2025
      The “nodding” condition of the work device on your SUNWARD Excavator is usually caused by the block of multi-way valve lever’s check valve, inspect and replace it.

    How to fix mandril leak at the top of pilot valve in SUNWARD Excavator?
    • D
      Daniel WarnerSep 12, 2025
      If there's a mandril leak at the top of the pilot valve in your SUNWARD Excavator, it's likely due to the seal ring of the pilot valve mandril piston trepan boring aging or damage. Inspect and replace it.
