RTV1100 DUMP BOX PROBLEM

[PICK]

I CAN'T GET THE BOX TO DUMP ON OUR RTV 1100. FLUIDS ARE OK HOWEVER WHEN YOU TRY TO DUMP NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU CAN HEAR THE HYDRAULICS TRYING TO WORK. THE MANUAL STATES TO PUT THE DUMP LEVER IN THE INDENT POSITION AND YOU CAN RAISE THE BOX MANUALLY. NO GO. THE BELIEVE THAT THE BOX IS RESTRAINED IN SOME WAY WHEN IT IS IN THE LOWERED POSITION AND THAT SOME SORT OF RELEASE SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU TRY TO RAISE THE BOX. THIS ISN'T HAPPENING. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

My RTV900 will manually dump with the unit off, lever in dump position, lift box or have wife sit on open tailgate.

I have no restraints on my 1100 bed...Are you certain that the hydro lines are hooked up and locked in at the rear connector...?

Did you buy the machine new?

If you put the lever in the far down float position, the bed should be able to be lifted manually...You have to push a little to get it there.

I HAVE CHECKED THE HYDRO LINES A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY ARE CORRECT. I DID BUY THE UNIT NEW FROM THE LOCAL DEALER. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO GIVE THEM A CALL AND HAVE ONE OF THEIR PEOPLE COME AND CHECK IT OUT.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE

Check to make certain the hydraulic lines are fully seated in the quick couplers at the back of the machine.

Check to see if a gravel, rock, stick or something isn't caught somewhere preventing the bed from lifting.

PROBLEM SOLVED! WHEN SNOW SEASON WAS OVER THE SWITHCED THE HOSES SO THE BED WOULD DUMP. SINCE I DIDN'T GET THE PLOW REMOVED SOON ENOUGH TO SUIT THE LITTLE LADY, SHE HAD THE DEALER STOP BY AND REMOVE THE PLOW. WHEN THEY REMOVED THE PLOW THEY SWITCHED THE HOSES AGAIN. DUH! AFTER I SWITHED THE HOSES BACK AGAIN THE DUMP BOX OPERATES AS IT SHOULD.
