MAGNATRAC RT1150 Operator / Technical Manual page 59

• If the non-functioning cylinder continues to
not operate, the cylinder is faulty.
• Should the cylinder now work, but the cylin-
der of the control that was switched stops
working problem lies in the valve section.
• Contact the factory for details.
MAGNATRAC is stuck.
• Use the hydraulic down pressure of the at
tachments to loosen the tracks. Call the fac
tory with any questions.
• To tow the MAGNATRAC at a maximum of 2
m.p.h. without starting the engine: Lower all
attachments so that they are just above the
ground. WE NEVER ADVISE TO PUSH!
See instructions below.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
disengaged.
2. Loosen & remove threaded balls on the
end of the left & right track drive handles.
3. Loosen and remove black threaded
knobs of the hood and the seat cover. Ro
tate hood upward and remove seat and
rear cover assembly.
4. Actuate both the left & right bypass
mechanisms. See warning below. See
Service Section of this manual.
WARNING! Actuating the bypass will
result in the loss of hydrostatic brak-
ing capacity. The machine must be
stationary, on a level surface and in
neutral when actuating the bypass.
No power to hydraulic attachments.
• Check the condition of the drive/attachment
pump belt, located under the engine. Ten-
sion or replace. See Service section of this
manual.
Hydraulic oil is overflowing from the oil
breather.
• Check the level of the oil in hydraulic tank,
level when full should be showing on the oil
sight window.
• Check the rating of your 3rd party
attachment that may be connected. Call the
factory with questions.
MAGNATRAC has no or little power.
• Verify engine throttle is adequate. > Check
the throttle/choke connection.
• Verify there are not external loads draining
engine power.
• Check the condition of the engine drive belt
and/or pulley, it may need to be tensioned or
replaced if broken. (See the Service section
of this manual).
• Control linkage of the transaxle is bent, or
out of adjustment. > Repair or replace link-
age, see page 9 of transaxle manual.
• Brake partially engaged. > Disengage
brake, replace broken or missing return
spring.
• Transaxle oil level low or contaminated. >
Fill to proper level when cold or change
transaxle oil. See transaxle manual, page
11.
• Transaxle bypass assembly sticking. Repair
or replace linkage. See transaxle manual,
page 9.
• Air trapped in transaxle hydraulic system. >
Purge transaxle hydraulic system. See page
12 in Transaxle Manual.
• Brake partially engaged. > Disengage
brake, replace broken or missing return
spring.
MAGNATRAC does not drive/track straight.
• Due to normal inefficiencies in adjust han-
dles, each track must be individually con-
trolled to achieve a straight travel path.
Operating both drive handles equal distance
will naturally result in a "slightly" curved
travel path.
