NOTE: Refer to repair parts section on valve bank settings on individual relief cartridges.
HYDRAULIC MOTOR NOT WORKING - Check lines for kinks or pinched place. If the motor is “bogging down” under load, recheck the relief valve setting on the cutter valve - 2500 P.S.I.
HYDRAULIC VALVE - Failures in the hydraulic system are almost always caused by other elements in the system other than the valve; so the entire system should be checked before the valve is changed. A malfunction In any hydraulic valve section will require replacement of that section (but not the replacement of the valve bank) since the insides are honed to fit individually. Attachments such as the relief valves and detent may be serviced individually.
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS - Failure in structural members generally results from rough treatment. While they are constructed to withstand abuse, they cannot be made strong enough to withstand abnormal abuse. The factory does not warrant these parts to any extent other than in normal use in grass, weeds, brush, small bushes, and small trees which the unit is designed to cut.
