MHC outrigger wont retract

[saratoga]

trying to retract passenger side outrigger's next to control's
I can extend down more but it wont retract.
is there a trick? do i have to extend fully?

Did you try the manual pump? You dont have to go down all the way to go up. What rpm is the engine at?

 

[saratoga]

yea, i held valve up and pumped with no luck, probably 50 times and tried holding both rh lh o/r and pumping. didnt feel pressure building
can i just dig out outrigger and hookup come along. unhook hydro hoses?

I don't think so as it will have a check valve in cylinder.

 

[Suprman]

Reverse the 2 connections at the top of the cylinder. it should come up with the down control

This is my 1089

i got it out of the field without retracting. r12 relay was first problem

the crane has some movement when i turn it on and set controls but i havent been able to set the legs.
manual says the top row of mhc shouldnt work until they are set

rpm meter doesnt work.
i took a picture of throttle. manual says 'L' is the 1250-1450 but my doesnt increase until past that
i thought i was in range but stinger came out and wouldnt return.
i kept increasing throttle and bottom row of wrecker controls started working with 30k winch.
it got to a point where someone had to hold it in the cab, didnt come with remote

when i switched to RH controls(using hammer), top, the legs and other winch didnt work.

ill swap the hoses tomorrow but im missing something in the manual. looking at fuses next

Is there enough hydraulic fluid in the tank? Seems weird that lots of hydraulic items are not working at same time.

 

[Coffey1]

That's a possibility! I don't have to raise rpm to work anything. I park turn pump on and get out and run crane or wrecker lift or winches without ever coming off idle.

 

[saratoga]

yea it has hydro. i think i put in about 20.
i think its something with the RH-LH valve. just need time to go through manual

 

[Suprman]

I have one here that some of the crane functions dont work. The manual dosnt seem to have crane function troubleshooting. It says refer to higher level maint.

The LH-RH valve on wrecker. When i move the valve to underlift and right winch it works. but when i change to LH driver winch/ stifflegs, it sounds like clutch not engaging a trans. RH still works. havent taken apart yet. its harvest time for hemp
