Useful When the Problem Is Not Obvious
A skid steer that moves slowly, has weak lift or tilt functions, loses drive power, or develops an intermittent electrical fault can have several possible causes. The value of this manual is that it lets you move from the symptom to the appropriate system, perform the recommended checks, and then proceed with component repair when required.
For example, hydraulic performance problems can be investigated through the hydraulic-system procedures, while hydrostatic drive issues can be approached through the dedicated hydrostatic testing and adjustment information. Electrical diagnosis is also covered for problems involving machine controls, starting, charging, and related circuits.
