Kubota U17, U17-3, U17-3α Common Problems This Manual Covers
Slow or weak hydraulic functions
Loss of digging power or slow boom, arm and bucket movement usually points to the main pump, control valve or relief settings. The Hydraulic System Service Section covers troubleshooting, testing, specifications and rebuilding of the pump and control valve.
Manual Section: IV . HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (Service Section) p. 391Reduced swing speed
A machine that swings slowly or hesitates often has a worn swivel motor or a pilot pressure problem. The Hydraulic System Mechanism Section explains the swivel motor, control valve and pilot valve and their circuits.
Manual Section: IV . HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (Mechanism Section) p. 319Track sag and undercarriage wear
Loose or worn tracks and undercarriage components affect travel and stability. The Machine Body Service Section covers the undercarriage, swivel bearing and travel lever with their specifications.
Manual Section: II . MACHINE BODY (Service Section) p. 65Hard cold starting
Difficult starting on the D902 diesel can come from the glow system, fuel supply or engine condition. The Engine Service Section covers the engine accessories, fuel and related systems with servicing procedures.
Manual Section: III . ENGINE (Service Section) p. 149Digital meter warning displays
Warning or alarm displays on the digital meter need to be read against the KICS logic before you start replacing parts. The Electrical System Mechanism Section covers KICS, the digital meter, operating and service modes and component layout.
Manual Section: V . ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (Mechanism Section) p. 623Electrical component failures
Faults in fuses, glow plugs, solenoid valves or the fuel pump keep the machine from running correctly. The Electrical System Service Section covers the fuses, battery, glow plug, solenoid valve and fuel pump.
Manual Section: V . ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (Service Section) p. 681Frequently Asked Questions
