Troubleshooting

The charts that follow contain suggestions to assist in troubleshooting. There may possibly be more than one cause for a machine malfunction.

Refer to the Testing section of this Chapter for precau- tions and specific test procedures.

NOTE: When troubleshooting traction problems on the Groundsmaster 4100--D, if a problem exists in both 4WD and transport speeds, consider a faulty compo- nent that affects the entire traction circuit (e.g. charge circuit, relief valves, piston pump, front wheel motors). If the problem exists in 4WD but not in transport, consid- er a problem in the 4WD traction system (e.g. rear axle motor, 4WD manifold).
