    1. Low Hydraulic Pressure

    • Cause: Leaks in the hydraulic lines or insufficient hydraulic fluid.
    • Solution: Regularly check fluid levels and inspect hoses for leaks. Tighten any loose connections.

    2. Slow or Erratic Movement

    • Cause: Air trapped in the hydraulic system.
    • Solution: Bleed the hydraulic system to remove any trapped air and restore smooth operation.

    3. Excessive Vibration During Operation

    • Cause: Worn or misaligned hydraulic components.
    • Solution: Inspect components such as pumps and motors for wear, and realign or replace them as needed.

    4. Hydraulic Pump Overheating

    • Cause: Overworked hydraulic pumps due to excessive load or poor ventilation.
    • Solution: Reduce the load on the pump and ensure proper ventilation around the hydraulic system.
