Discussion:
No power steering

Hi,

I am user of H40D.

In last days I noticed, that power steering work not properly. indeed, it works barely.

Fluids are complete. No leaks. I don't know where to look for a reason.

Regards,
Kuba

Sad news, but thanks for reply.

Everything works fine, except steering. When machine is stopped, handling need some strenght, when in move, you have to use two hands for handling. Lifting and tilting without objections.

Valve?

Well, pretty old one - 1991.
When there's no problem with traction, than, I think, that the steering valve simply reached it's lifetime.
It's hard to repair it, easier to replace.
The part No is 3525421200 - new, 3525421280 - refurbished.
The price - about 3300 PLN for the new, 2500 PLN for refurished.
