Common Issues & Fixes

• DEF System Warnings or Derate: Usually due to poor-quality DEF or sensor failure—flush DEF tank, replace filters, and verify DEF sensor integrity.

• Hydraulic Creep or Lag: Commonly caused by worn control valve seals or low pilot pressure—check spool tolerances and recalibrate system.

• EGR Valve Sticking (Cold Starts): Inspect for carbon buildup and clean regularly, especially in winter use.

• Electrical Faults in Display or Switches: Trace back to cab harness connectors—clean and reseal.

• Travel Motor Weakness: Inspect for final drive wear, low oil, or clogged drain filters—service both sides equally.

• Boom Drift: Confirm if internal bypassing is occurring; reseal hydraulic cylinders if pressure loss is confirmed.
