Troubleshooting
The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic sys-
tem is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing
equipment and a thorough understanding of the com-
plete hydraulic system.
A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat
or noise hasa potential for failure.Shouldeither of these
conditions be noticed, immediately stop the machine,
turn off the engine of the tow vehicle, locate the cause
of the trouble and correct it before allowing the machine
to be used again. Continued use of an improperly func-
tioninghydraulic systemcouldleadtoextensivehydrau-
lic component damage.
The charts that follow contain information to assist in
troubleshooting. There may possibly be more than one
cause for a machine malfunction.
The successful operation of the Pro Sweep depends on
the hydraulic system of the tow vehicle. When trouble-
shooting a sweeper hydraulic problem, make sure that
the tow vehicle hydraulic system is evaluated as well.
NOTE: When troubleshooting a hydraulic problem on
the Pro Sweep, inspect tow vehicle hydraulic system if
sweeper brush motor, offset cylinder and lift cylinder are
all malfunctioning. If one sweeper hydraulic circuit ap-
pears to be malfunctioning (e.g. the brush circuit and lift
cylinder are w orking but the offset cylinder will not func-
tion), check the non--functioning circuit and its compo-
nents.
