1999 mini excavator -cat 302.5 with cab - engine runs fine - the hydronic sword intermittently -
Sequence Of event
1 - it will be working ok
2- when I lift the left console and pull switch handle up - But then when I return the console to the Down or operating position the hydronics most time will not operate immediately.
3- if I increase the RPM's many times I will start to work
4- it's sometime works for hr's but then it will stop working monetarily
5- but it's never stops working completely- it alway stats working

The switch in the console has be changed twice in the last two year by the Cat dealer-
Hear in Montana. They also did some wiring work -
Now they are telling me that in need to send it too trier shop so
They can take the cab off so they can look at everything.
If I life the floorboard is there anything that would be there that might be cousing the problem Ed

I read the whole post and still don't understand. I figure by "hydronics" he means hydraulics, but the reference to "hydronic sword" has me baffled. I dunno.
