REFLECTOR: HYDRAULIC PUMP CYCLES

[Ron Brown]

I had the same problem except more frequently.  I had to replace the dump valve, it was leaking.  Probably from too many actuations while installing, testing and adjusting the gear.

Even after replacing the valve, the pump cycles about every 3-4 minutes.  There is some leakage in the system as Scott suggests.  I don't think once per minute is too much of a problem.  

Regarding adjusting the pressure switches, they need to be adjusted to ensure that the up and down action is proper.  Adjusting the pressure switches may change the cycle times but it is more important to make sure the gear is operating properly.

  My hydraulic pump cycles about once a minute.  I know if I adjust the set screws on the high and low limiters that it will change the timing of the cycles.  Will this cause my gears to no act properly?  And how do you adjust to stop the cycling.   N51LP  RGElite--Franklin/Catto     thanks
