Bobcat773 lift problem

[Integraclean]

We have a bobcat 773 lift will only work when tilt is maxed out in either direction or aux is maxed in either direction we press the lift and it will wait until tilt or aux is maxed then will move .Anyone ever experienced this problem?

Bad lift cylinder. Will it drift down from a raised position? Weak work pump??

 

[Integraclean]

Both lift cylinder and pump are good

Lift spool not being fully stroked. Sloppy lift linkage. Is this a AHC control SSL?

I'm kind of new to bobcat so what does Ahc and ssl mean and how would I check the lift spool

AHC Advanced Hand Control. SSL Skid Steer Loader. How did you test your work pump? How many hours are on the unit? Can you post the SN#?

The work comp I believe was checked by the neighbor who has a pressure tester the serial number is 509639344 I believe what you were asking was if it had a band in control not has foot pedals on either side it only control on the hand is a switch for the auxiliary The machine has 3800 hours

Does the engine labor when you command the boom to lift? If it don't perform a lift cylinder leak by test. you may just have a blowed out lift cylinder.

When you say tilt or aux has to be maxed out for the lift to work....

Does that mean max it out AND hold it there?

Or simply tilting the bucket all the way one direction then letting off and then the loader lift works?

Dont really see how it could be a cylinder, since it shouldnt matter what the tilt or aux is doing. IF it was a bad cylinder, its going to be bad all the time.

And since all other functions work, I wouldnt suspect the pump either.

Sounds like you have something going on in the valve itself. Something with the lift spool not responding right.
