Kobelco SK25SR-6 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Kobelco SK25SR-6 hydraulic pressure loss with visible oil leaks at lines and fittings
Inspect all hydraulic fittings and hose connections for weeping or spray patterns. Verify the tank is full: hydraulic oil capacity is 10.3 Gals (page 27). Connect a gauge at the test port and confirm system relief pressure is at 2987 psi. Swap out any seals showing cracking or deformation before chasing pump or valve issues.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Pump TroubleshootingEngine won't start or turns over slowly in cold weather conditions
Check for relevant error codes in the '5-4 Error Code List' on pages 247-254. Verify the battery meets spec on page 31, then test terminals for corrosion and measure resting voltage with a multimeter. Inspect fuel filters; filtration area is 66.96 sq.in. and cold weather clogs them fast. Measure compression per before condemning the fuel pump.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting (General)Machine upper structure won't swing left, rotation is sluggish and jerky
Test swing in both directions; rated speed is 10 rpm (page 24). If rotation locks or drags only left, connect a pressure gauge to the swing pilot circuit and verify secondary pressure rises smoothly. Check the swing motor case drain for bypass flow or contamination. Inspect parking brake release under the motor cover before any disassembly.
Manual Section: Swing Motor TroubleshootingEngine temperature spikes into the red during normal operation, EC-02 warning active
Test the radiator cap first: it must hold 12.8 psi (page 30). A cap that bleeds early drops the boiling point and triggers EC-02 well before actual overheating occurs. Confirm the code, then clean debris from the radiator core and verify thermostat operation. Check fan belt tension before pulling the head or pressure-testing the block.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting (General)Machine pulls left or right during travel, fails to track straight on flat ground
Measure case drain flow from both travel motors: unequal output points to internal bypass on the weak side. Inspect track tension and check rollers on the drifting side for flat spots or seized bearings. Verify the high-speed control piston moves freely in each motor. Cross-reference the deviation symptom in the troubleshooting section at page 553.
Manual Section: Travel Motor TroubleshootingFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset the error code on Kobelco SK25SR-6?
To reset an error code on the Kobelco SK25SR-6, after solving the cause of the error, the error condition can be canceled by using the starter switch to turn the power OFF and then back ON. For example, for error code 00 000091.04 (Accelerator sensor malfunction: short circuit to low voltage side), the corrective measure is to check the connectors, harnesses, and accelerator sensor, then turn the starter switch OFF and ON to check if the error code is displayed again.
What are the torque specs for the main pump bolts on Kobelco SK25SR-6?
The tightening torque for the hydraulic pump mounting bolts (M12) on the Kobelco SK25SR-6 is 57.9 to 72.3 ft·lbf (78.5 to 98.1 N·m).
What is the procedure to reset the machine after an overheat alarm on Kobelco SK25SR-6?
After an overheat alarm, such as for error code 00 000110.00 (Engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction: too high), you should first inspect the engine cooling system, connectors, and coolant temperature sensor. To clear the error condition, turn the starter switch to the “OFF” position and then to the “ON” position.
How to reset the display monitor on Kobelco SK25SR-6
The manual does not specify a general 'reset' procedure for the LCD monitor itself. However, error conditions displayed on the monitor can be cleared by turning the starter switch to the “OFF” position and then back to the “ON” position after resolving the underlying issue.
