Mustang ML52 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine overheating under load
Low coolant, a clogged radiator, or restricted airflow lets the engine and hydraulic oil run hot under load. The Cooling section covers the 520 and 620 cooling system, and the manual caps hydraulic oil temperature at 85 degrees C.
Manual Section: Cooling p. 35Slow or weak hydraulic lift and bucket
Weak or erratic lifting points to low or contaminated fluid, leaks, or a relief valve out of spec. The Hydraulic System section covers the work hydraulics and tank, with the main pressure relief valve set at 235 bar.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 166Weak hydrostatic drive
A machine that revs high but will not move with authority usually has hydrostatic pump or motor wear or low fluid. The Hydrostatic Drive section covers the drive, hydraulic circuit, and temperature controller for the 520 and 620.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Drive p. 39Hard starting or power loss
Clogged fuel filters or poor fuel delivery cause hard starting and lost power. The Fuel Lines section covers the fuel feed system for the 520 and 620 wheel loaders.
Manual Section: Fuel Lines p. 33Electrical faults or no-start
A weak battery, corroded terminals, or a damaged harness leave the loader with intermittent lights or a no-start. The Electrical System section covers fundamentals, terminal descriptions, and the cab and frame interfaces.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 107Sluggish or unresponsive steering
A wheel loader steers on hydraulics, so slow or wandering steering points to air in the system or a circuit fault. The Steering System section covers synchronizing the steering and bleeding the steering system.
Manual Section: Steering System p. 102Frequently Asked Questions
