If the attachment is not working correctly, check the hydraulic system of the machine thoroughly before making any repairs
on the attachment. Attachment problems can be affected by a hydraulic system that is not operating to specifications.
Connect a flow meter to the machine to check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tube lines to check flow
and pressure. (See the machine’s Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter.)
Use the following troubleshooting chart to locate and correct problems which most often occur with the attachment.
