Troubleshooting

The cause of an improperly functioning hydraulic system
is best diagnosed with the use of proper testing equip-
ment and a thorough understanding of the complete hy-
draulic system.
A hydraulic system with an excessive increase in heat or
noise is a potential failure. Should either of these condi-
tions be noticed, immediately stop the vehicle, turn off
the engine, locate the cause of the trouble and correct
it before allowing the vehicle to be used again. Contin-
