Why is the oil heating up in my Woods Excavators?

  Oil heating in your Woods Excavators can occur due to several reasons: a low oil supply, which requires you to fill the reservoir; contaminated oil, in which case you should drain the reservoir, change the filter, and refill with clean oil; incorrect setting of the relief valve, so set it to the correct pressure; or the pump operating too fast, meaning you should not exceed the recommended RPM PTO speed.

What to do if the oil is foaming in my Woods Excavators?

  If the oil in your Woods Excavators is foaming, it could be due to a few reasons. It may be caused by a low oil level, so fill the reservoir. It may also be caused by air leaking into the suction line, in which case you should tighten the fittings. The wrong kind of oil can also cause foaming, so drain and refill the reservoir with non-foaming oil. Finally, moisture in the oil can cause this issue, so keep the oil temperature below 180° and continue to operate as the oil dries out, or replace the oil and purge the system if foaming is excessive.

The oil filter could be plugged, so replace the filter. The suction line might be plugged or too small, so clean the line and check for the correct size. Alternatively, the suction line could be kinked, so replace the line.
