Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under
pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine.

The oil for the hydraulic system should be at operating temperature before troubleshooting the
hydraulic system.

e r
Con illa terpi
p a
It is difficult to warm the oil effectively without operating the machine. Perform the following

fide r:
procedure in order to warm the oil.
llar
1. Start the engine.
ntia Inc
lG .
2. Move the hoist control to the LOWER position. Hold the hoist control in the LOWER position for

ree
10 seconds after the body is fully lowered.

n
Repeat the procedure until the oil for the hoist and braking systems is at operating temperature.

3. Check for adequate sideways clearance. Articulate the machine fully to the left. Articulate the
machine fully to the right.
Repeat this procedure until the oil for the steering and fan drive systems is at operating
temperature.

Preparing the Machine for Maintenance

Before you perform any testing or adjusting, park the machine on a level surface. Move the parking
brake control to the ENGAGED position and shut off the engine. Lower the body and move the hoist
control to the FLOAT position.

Install the steering frame locks before entering the area around the oscillating hitch.

If the body must be raised, perform the following procedure in order to install the body prop.

Note: The body must be empty before the body prop is installed.

1. Raise the body enough to lift the body prop and then move the hoist control to the HOLD
position.

Typical Example

2. Lift the body prop.

3. Move the hoist control to the FLOAT position. This will allow the body to lower slowly until the
weight of the body is supported by the body prop.
Note: The body must be raised before the body prop can be lowered.

4. Move the hoist control to the HOLD position and shut off the engine.

Allow only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine. Also, all
personnel should be visible to the operator.

Suspension Cylinders

Personal injury or death can result from sudden suspension

cylinder movement.

Sudden movement, up or down, can cause the clearance above

your head to change rapidly.

Read all warning labels on the suspension cylinders before

servicing. Do not check the oil in the suspension cylinder until
all the nitrogen pressure has been released.

Do not, under any condition, remove valves, cover or plugs from

the cylinder unless the rod is fully retracted and all the nitrogen
pressure is released.

Do not stand under the machine when testing or adjusting the

suspension cylinders.

1. The machine must be on level ground when you inspect the suspension cylinders. The truck
must be empty. Coast the machine to a gentle stop without using the brakes. Apply the parking
brake.

2. Check the ride height of the machine and compare the dimensions against the dimensions from
the previous servicing. The suspension height will be different for each machine.

3. Both of the front suspension cylinders must be charged at the same time. If only one
suspension cylinder needs servicing, perform the procedure on both suspension cylinders.

Relieving the System Pressure

Make sure that all system pressure is relieved before any component is loosened, tightened,
removed, or adjusted. Perform the following procedure in order to relieve all pressure from the
system.

1. Start the engine and lower the body to the frame. Move the hoist control to the FLOAT position.

2. Shut off the engine and then turn the engine start switch to the 1 position.

3. Engage the service brakes several times until all pressure is relieved from the oil in the service
brake system.

4. Move the parking brake control between the ENGAGED position and the DISENGAGED
position. Repeat this procedure several times until all pressure is relieved from the oil in the
parking brake system.

5. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

6. Rotate the steering wheel clockwise. Rotate the steering wheel counterclockwise.

7. Carefully remove the filler cap from the hydraulic tank for the hoist, steering braking and fan
systems. This will relieve any pressure which is inside the hydraulic tank.

8. Install the filler caps.

Before you start the troubleshooting process, check for fault codes. When you are troubleshooting a
problem, start with the visual checks. If visual checks fail to identify the problem, do performance
tests. If performance tests fail to identify the problem, perform instrument tests.

On 725 (S/N: B1L880-1414) and 730 (S/N: B1M803-1308), all the test lines from the test panel are
disconnected from the various test points on the machine.

When you test any part of the hydraulic systems on the listed machines, first check the test
procedure for the test lines that are required and ensure that the required test lines are connected
before you conduct the test procedure. In order to help identify the correct test line for a specific test
point, both ends of the test line is identified with a colored ring.

When you have completed testing the hydraulic system on the machine, ensure that all of the
test lines are disconnected before returning the machine to normal operation.
