  • The spring for the flow compensator in the pump is broken.

  • The pump is not upstroking.

Recommended Actions

Problems With The Hydraulic Hoses or Hydraulic Lines

Kinks or restrictions in hydraulic lines or hoses may act like an orifice that creates excessive noise and heat as the high pressure oil is forced through a passage that is smaller than the original opening.

Be sure to check for these conditions on all hydraulic oil hoses, lines, and tubes in the system or the circuit that are in question. Correct any problems that are found. Then retest the hydraulic system for any symptoms.

The Flow Compensator Spool Is Adjusted Incorrectly

  1. Determine if the flow compensator spool in the compensator valve is adjusted correctly.

    1. Perform the Margin Pressure Test on the hydraulic pump.

      Reference: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic Pump - Test and Adjust" for your machine.

The Pressure Compensator Spool Is Adjusted Incorrectly

  1. Make sure that the pressure compensator spool is adjusted correctly.

    1. Perform the High Pressure Stall Test on the hydraulic pump.

      Reference: Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Hydraulic Pump - Test and Adjust" for your machine.

The Load Sensing Signal Circuit May Be Leaking

  1. Inspect the load sensing signal circuit for leaks.

    1. If necessary, repair any leaks.

The Spring For The Flow Compensator In The Pump Is Broken



    Illustration 1g00851050
    (5) Flow spool spring

  1. Inspect flow spool spring (5) and verify that the spring is not broken.

The Pump Is Not Upstroking

  1. Check for pump wear.

    1. Perform the Pump Efficiency Check.

    2. Ensure that the swashplate is not blocked and ensure that the actuator spring is not broken.

    3. Repair the pump, if necessary.
