Troubleshooting 73
Excessive system flow rate (cycle time too fast)
can agitate the hydraulic fluid. Set the cycle time
according to specifications.
Do not thin hydraulic fluid with diesel fuel (lowers
the flash point). Weather permitting, use a
higher
flash point fluid.
After making any repairs on the hydraulic system, bleed
the system at reduced engine speed and
pressure to remove any trapped air. Depending on the size of the component, e. g. cylinder, hose, it
may be necessary to cycle the unit several times. Of course the larger the air pocket, the more cycles
are needed. To avoid potential problems, thoroughly bleed all hydraulic systems and ensure that all
inlet connections are tight and not ingesting
air.
