After replacing hydraulic hoses on a Takeuchi TL130 skid steer loader, you may experience issues with bleeding the hydraulic system. The replacement of hoses can introduce air into the system, which needs to be thoroughly bled to restore normal working pressure.
Symptoms of Bleeding Issues
If the hydraulic system isn't properly bled, users might notice insufficient hydraulic oil flow, system instability, or total failure of hydraulic operations. Symptoms can include sluggish hydraulic operation, unusual noises, or complete non-functioning of the hydraulic system.
Steps for Bleeding the System
To resolve the hydraulic bleeding issue, start the engine and allow the machine to run. Then, operate the hydraulic control valves sequentially to release air from the system. It’s generally advised to let the hydraulic oil circulate for a few minutes after refilling, to ensure air is expelled. After bleeding, check the hydraulic oil level and top it off if necessary.
Conclusion
Properly bleeding the hydraulic system after hose replacement is critical. Operators should follow the machine manual's guidelines and the correct bleeding procedure to ensure the system functions properly.
