If the sweeper is not working correctly, check the
hydraulic system of the machine thoroughly before
making repairs on the sweeper. Sweeper problems can
be affected by a hydraulic system that is not operating to
specifications. Connect a flow meter to the loader to
check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting, and
tubelines to check flow and pressure. (See the loader
Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the
flow meter.)
Use the following troubleshooting chart to locate and
