FEL Doesn\'t, Well, Go Up
While putting another 8 hours on the clock of my 3010HST , I noticed that my LA482 FEL doesn't go up properly. In the 'Up' position is just creaps up very slowly. In the Up and Dump position, it shoots up the way its supposed to, but, of course, it dumps all the stuff out.
I have mostly used the FEL for dozing and backdragging till now, so I may have had this problem for some time.
Soon after getting the machine, I noticed all the bolts holding the FEL valve cluster were loose - in fact I even lost one. So I tightened them up, but I may have moved an adjustment by accident.
The fact the FEL will go up correctly in the Up and Dump position tells me there is no hydraulic problem. The lever mechanism suggests an adjustment is in order. I'd like to try fix it myself - any suggestions?
