Serial # NPR345-0203-9700....Has an intermittant problem where none of the hydraulics will respond,no lift or lower...no reach tilt or sideshift...after talking with another tech in the company that i work for he said there is possibly a broken wire in the pantograph between the two control/solenoid blocks,he says that the solenoid card sends out a refrence voltage to them and if it isnt seen coming back then the hydraulics wont work. Guess he has found this on a few occacions.

the solenoid card is new a few months ago as are the control handle switch's for lift/lower and reach/tilt sideshift push buttons.

I want to see what the consences is on this issue before i start tearing wires out of the pantograph(which is a double reach pantograph)

The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
