WIPLINE 2100 & 2350 FLOATS 3.0 CORROSION Reference the Wipaire Structural Repair Manual (SRM) for allowable corrosion/material loss limits. Corrosion is a reaction that destroys metal by an electrochemical action that converts metal to oxide. Corrosion is accelerated when in contact with dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel, or any material which absorbs moisture like wood, rubber, or dirt.

SERVICE MANUAL & ICA WIPLINE 2100 & 2350 FLOATS 12.2 TROUBLESHOOTING 1. PROBLEM – Power pack does not run after gear selection. PROBABLE CAUSE a. Circuit breaker has failed. b. Pressure switch not pulling in at low cut in. c. Solenoid switch not pulling in.
Page 69
SERVICE MANUAL & ICA WIPLINE 2100 & 2350 FLOATS REMEDY a. Verify leak is not external by checking fluid level in reservoir and looking at couplings for oil leaks. If no external leaks are found, disconnect and cap off the hydraulic actuators one at a time and find the leaky one by process of elimination.
Page 70
SERVICE MANUAL & ICA WIPLINE 2100 & 2350 FLOATS 8. PROBLEM – Power pack does not cycle up or down. PROBABLE CAUSE a. Pressure build-up in both sides of up and down lines. REMEDY a. Select hand pump to up and down position to relieve pressure. Return to center and select gear.
