Engine performance is low.
Check air filter and change if it is clogged.
Open engine covers and check valve clearance or for damaged components (valve spring, valves, valve seats, tappets), and repair or replace as necessary. Implement not lifting.
Check working pump pressures, check pilot pressures, if readings are not to specification, then check relieve valve and adjust or change completely if necessary. General Servicing:
Carried out general servicing (that include 250hrs, 500hrs,, 1000hrs, 2000hrs service), e.g., 2000hrs service involving the following: take all oil samples, drain all compartment oil, fill all compartments with new oil; change out engine, hydraulic, steering, transmission and fuel filters, breather strainers, check for cracks and oil or water leakage.
Hydraulic Problems
Check hydraulic pressures on machine. If pressures are not OK, inspect high pressure filters, if clogged replace. Check pressure again, if high reduce or if low adjust the relief valve to get the manufactures specified pressure. Dismantling, resealing and rebuilding of hydraulic cylinders, replacement of oil seals, wiper seals, backup seal and O-ring.
