hi gents
ive brought home a 35rrtt198.
have been charging the (11x 2volt cell) battery with the worst cell isolated. it shows 23.6v (with surface charge included....)
im getting nothing at all at truck...no light, no movement, no sounds,(though i did briefly hear a motor spinning and a gurgling sound)...
after having read plenty here tonight, im going to start tomorrow by looking at the fuses, the cards, hydraulic oil level and maybe motor brushes...
any advice for a newbie is greatly appreciated!
ps. is this machine a goody?, ie, can be kept operational fairly cheaply?
cheers
pps was quoted 300 for the manual!!! omg!!

The date should be stamped on the mast
just confirmimg my machine has 1 lift motor...
that is the "second" motor i have been referring to..
it spins when i do joystick up and thumb button depressed...
so the critters chewed the wiring to the ev1 scr...
im starting to believe this machine to be really old!!!
s/n:38997
actual model:35rrtt198
how old is this machine pls?
pics and info recd. with thanks!!!
standby while i do my homework!!
The motors will run, but you need the valves to open to direct the oil in the right direction. We can send pics in the email. By the way, if your truck has 2 lift motors...it should be a 36v system
so 23.6 volts after another couple of days charging...
run both pumps with bleed screws open as promised...and nothing.
q: should i be able to operate motors directly by manually operatiog the contactors?
in the a.m. ill run the pump with the bleed screw open{ram[s]}
unlikely that will help with the fwd/aft movement issue...
found a couple of solenoids...wonder how these are checked?
i gave my mobile number in code the first msg...
my email i try again...

yes got brakes bled i think cheers....
found a couple of bleed screws on rams...
air got released from one, then a squirt of oil...
ive got battery on charge so thats all atm...
i have just now remembered the sellers advice:
"there is a broken pipe somewhere under the machine..."
"machine is only partly working..."
Yes, that is the brake fluid reservoir, and you need dot5 fluid. On the side of the drive motor is the slave cylinder. Pump the left foot pedal a few times, hold it down, and loosen the bleed screw to get the air out of that system. This forum doesn't let you post pictures, how can I directly contact you?
ok so the small cylindrical aluminium reservoir is confirmed as the brake fluid tank...nothing like having a near 3T machine moving under gravity!!!
hmmm i wonder where dat pesky bleed screw is!!
so late yesterday, i removed the top cover from machine...
gasp!! found that come critters had made themselves a home inside!!
bless them, they had also chewed on a whole lot of wiring.
im guessing its the control unit...has appx 10 terminals on each side...got the wiring all back together now and still machine behaving the same.
now to locate some bleed screws!!
thanks!!
Looks like you have to start cracking open some hoses and cylinder bleed screws to get the oil flowing again
the second motor spins but doesn't seem to be driving anything...
the voltage stays above 19 but not by much...19.6 v.
dont think its enough...
i got it wrong earlier...
when the thumb button is depressed while moving joystick up,...a second motor,(in addition to steer motor) runs...
the trigger button cycles through the 3 modes but nothing from any...
Now that you have oil in the steer pump, are you able to reach, tilt, and sideshift?
yeah back again...
put another 5 l of hyd32 oil.!!
**** must have nearly been mt!!
pump a lot quieter now.
if i depress the thumb button and go down on joystick, a second, higher speed pump runs...nothing moves as a result though...
Thanks the swift reply!
Beginners mistake!, must stand in truck to get the pump gurgling...
put 5 lt of grade 32 hydraulic oil in tank and still gurgling......****!
ill check what the volts drop to...
i think 4 of my 12 cells are crook...
the pump that i can hear running is the steering...
nothing fwd or backward, up or down as yet....
only the steering so far.
Surface charge seems sufficient, but after turning the key on... what voltage drop do you get? If it drops to 19v, the truck will not work
