PFC Hydraulic Pump Troubleshooting Manual

Product Overview

This manual provides a comprehensive guide for troubleshooting issues with the PFC hydraulic pump and its compensator valves. It is critical to address the potential problems affecting the pump’s performance to ensure efficient operation and avoid unnecessary replacements.

Key Features

• Detailed diagnostic procedures to identify hydraulic pump issues.
• Step-by-step troubleshooting tests with page references for easy navigation.
• Clear instructions on various components, including the compensator valve and steering system.

Benefits

• Ensures optimal pump performance by identifying and correcting faults.
• Helps maintain system efficiency, potentially reducing downtime and repair costs.
• Provides precise guidance, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and improper repairs.

Troubleshooting Recommendations

The following issues must be checked before considering compensator valve replacement:

• Low charge pump pressure can cause main pump cavitation. Refer to TEST 2, page 50.
• Inadequate closing of the lubrication relief valve could result in low charge pump pressure. Refer to TEST 1, page 48.
• High standby pressure may indicate a restriction in the steering signal line’s orifice. Refer to TEST 4, page 54.
• If the steering orifice is blocked, the main pump could reach steering relief pressure. Refer to TEST 15, page 76.
• Erratic steering might be caused by contamination in the steering signal line. Refer to Section 5001.
• Blocked orifice in the steering supply line results in no steering. Refer to Section 5001.
• Powershift failure at low engine RPM during rapid steering can occur if the steering supply line’s orifice is missing. Refer to TEST 6, page 58 and Section 5001.
• Leaks in the P1 circuit can lead to poor compensator performance. Refer to TEST 5, page 56.
• A stuck X4 check valve in the position feedback valve negatively impacts hitch lifting capability. Refer to TEST 17, page 80 and Section 8004.
• If the X4 check valve is closed, resulting from a broken position sensor linkage, the main pump might reach high pressure when the hitch is fully raised. Refer to TEST 17, page 80 and Section 8004.
