I could use some help from the CLARK guys. It's a "Genesis" series CGC-25 C365L-0108- 9524 Came out in '97
If I am not mistaken, Drliftruck has this one on the "Piece of crap" list
Brake system uses return oil from steering valve to charge brake actuator.
The hose from steer valve "tees" off with a hose running to actuator then returns back to hydraulic tank throgh a check valve.
When you start the truck, the brakes apply just enough to drag the shoes, but not keep the truck from moving. The brakes are real touchy and grab with very little foot pressure.
I have checked the rod from pedal linkage to the actuator to make sure pedal is coming all the way up and letting valve go all way to rest position.
Checked the valve in return line for restiction, oil flows out when running.
Is there a possibility that steer valve is dumping to much return oil or is the pressure to high? Have not fround any adjustment and have no literature on this machine.
It has the 2 hose style actuator, the older trucks have 5 hoses. HELP!!!! Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated.
