I have the same machine. I have never had a problem like that. Sounds like a hydraulic pump/filter problem. Let us know what you found.

Have you had it long, is it lever op. or remote ?

 

[Topbuilder]

Lever. One of the things I do not like about the machine. You are right next to it and it puts out the heat. And dirt, rocks, chips hitting all parts of you. Most days you have to plan where the wind is going, hope you can put the machine down wind from you where the dust is not blowing back on you. Sometimes there are no options. I tend to watch out the edge instead of through glass. You pay for that eventually. The other thing I don't like is the ground speed. I walk at a good clip, not with this machine.

the smaller pump is bad

That hurts. Something you can do yourself or to the shop?

 

[Creeker]

Thanks for the reply T/bldr, just asked as didn't know yr experience with the machine, the Carlton cordless acts very strange if
you try to move it with the manual switch on the machine in the "low" ground speed position.

Can see what you mean by the lever op. after the remote I couldn't imagine using levers for all the reasons you mention plus lots
more.

i am the shop lol

 

[Topbuilder]

Hope all goes well for you. I know the Snap-On 4 way angle wrenches are invaluable tools for working on these machines. I have made repairs I would not have got through with standard wrenches.

Hey Backhoelover,
I'm losing speed and power on my swing. Ground speed does not seem to be affected. Always was slooow. Plenty of power to the rear blade. Do you remember if that bad pump affected the swing speed?

 

[backhoelover]

small pump is for drive system. large pump is for everything else. you will have to check pressure. if the unit is set up right, raise the hood closet to the control panel. now look in the bottom right hand corner there should be a place to test everthing. if it is set up right this testing port will allow you to test and not have to worry about dead heading the pump

if only the swing is weak might be the cylinder are blowing by

 

[backhoelover]

call jeff at rayco. he is a rayco breathering maching 1800 392 2686. i wonder if a leaky solenoid could do this

I thought about that. At 1/2 throttle I can hold it from swinging. I'll have to see if I can find info on how to make/buy a tester.

Thanks!

Harbor freight has the gauge

 

[backhoelover]

Hose is from rayco

 

[Topbuilder]

Cool! Thanks a lot.

 

[backhoelover]

I was just think might want to find out pressure on big pump before hooking up 5000psi gauge to it. As I was testing the snaller pump with this set up

 

[Topbuilder]

With the machine off, you could swing the cutter head with a knee. I pulled the swing rams today. Definitely the problem, main wipers were disintegrated.
