Lift/Lower Circuit Problems
Problem
Possible Causes
The cutting deck (or implement) will not lift or lifts slowly.
• Engine RPM is too low.
• The cutting deck has excessive unwanted elements in
cutting chambers.
• The lift arm or lift cylinder is binding.
• The lift valve control linkage is binding or broken (except
3280-D Models 30344 and 30345).
• The hydraulic-fluid level in the reservoir (front axle) is low.
• The charge pump pressure or flow is insufficient.
• The implement relief valve is stuck or damaged (except
3280-D Models 30344 and 30345).
Note:
Steering circuit also affected.
• The flow control orifice in the lift control valve is plugged,
stuck, or damaged.
• The lift control valve is damaged.
• The lift cylinder leaks internally.
The cutting deck (or implement) raises, but does not stay up.
• The lift cylinder leaks internally.
• The lift circuit hydraulic lines or fittings are leaking.
• The lift control valve leaks (except 3280-D Models 30344
and 30345).
• Air exists in the lift circuit.
• The solenoid valve (SV2) in the lift control valve is damaged
or leaks.
Steering Circuit Problems
Problem
Possible Causes
The steering is inoperative or sluggish.
• Engine RPM is too low.
• The hydraulic-fluid level in the reservoir (front axle) is low.
• The steering components (e.g., tie rods, steering cylinder
ends) are worn or binding.
• The steering cylinder is binding.
• The steering relief valve in the steering control valve is
stuck or damaged.
• The steering cylinder leaks internally.
• The implement relief valve is stuck or damaged (except
3280-D Models 30344 and 30345).
Note:
Lift circuit also affected.
• The steering control valve is worn or damaged.
• The charge pump pressure or flow is low.
Note:
Low charge pump flow or pressure will also affect the
lift circuit.
