Mustang ME7503ZT Common Problems This Manual Covers
Reduced digging power or slow response
Weak digging force, slow boom, bucket, or travel response, or hydraulic overheating usually trace to low or contaminated fluid, leaks in hoses and seals, or worn hydraulic components. The hydraulic system section covers the pump, main valve block, and circuit operation.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 103Machine pulls to one side or stalls travel
A machine that pulls to one side, stalls a track, or loses travel drive can point to a final drive motor problem or a fault in the drive counterbalancing circuit. The hydraulic system section documents these circuits and the travel drive.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 103Play or squeaks in boom and bucket pins
Excessive play, squeaks, or accelerated wear in the boom and bucket linkage usually come from insufficient greasing of pins and bushings. The lubrication procedures show the grease points and intervals to keep the linkage tight.
Manual Section: Lubrication p. 56Noisy or rough cab rotation
Rotation that becomes noisy, rough, or sluggish often points to a neglected or worn slew bearing. The undercarriage and swivel unit section gives the live ring specifications and torque you need when servicing it.
Manual Section: Undercarriage And Swivel Unit p. 34Engine hard starting or rough running
Hard starting or rough running can trace to the fuel system, injection nozzles, or valve clearance. The engine section covers the fuel system, removing the cylinder head cover, checking and adjusting valve tip clearance, and checking the injection nozzles.
Manual Section: Engine p. 89Electrical faults or warning lights
Intermittent controls, blown fuses, or warning lights usually trace to wiring, relays, or the fuse boxes. The electrical system section covers measuring methods, cable color coding, relays, and both the instrument panel fuse box and the main fuse box with relays.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 149Frequently Asked Questions
