SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Wing hydraulic 
system does not 
maintain pressure. 
The “IN” pressure gauge indicates 
less than 1200 lb
f
/in
2
(8 275 kPa).
Inspect quick couplers to ensure 
complete engagement. 
Check 7 plex wing down value. ( 
only on 7 plex machines. 72 feet 
and up) 
Remove, inspect orings, clean and 
replace cartridge if necessary. 
Wing lift cylinder piston leaking.
Remove hose from rod end of 
cylinder. If oil discharges, seal is 
leaking. Remove and replace seal. 
Wings do not raise.
The “IN” pressure gauge indicates 
less than 1200 lb
f
/in
2
(8 275 kPa)
for smaller implements and less 
than 2100 lb
f
/in
2
(14.50 kPa) for
larger implements.
Inspect quick couplers to ensure 
complete engagement. Check to see 
that the circuit is putting out enough 
pressure. 
Wing cylinder piston seal leaking.
Remove hose from rod end of 
cylinder. If oil discharges, seal is 
leaking. Remove and replace seal. 
Can not maintain 
packing pressure or 
shanks will not stay 
up in transport. 
Seal damaged in shank cylinder. 
Check orings on meter engage 
valve also make sure meter 
engage switch is shut off. 
Pressure shanks up and keep locked 
on. Undo main bridle hoses on the 
rod end of cylinder on both ports. If 
oil is flowing out of a hose, then it is 
that rank on that wing that has a seal 
leak. Move down that rank, undoing 
the hoses on the rod end of each 
cylinder. When the oil quits flowing, it 
is the previous cylinder with the faulty 
seal. Replace cylinder seal(s) and 
repeat process in case of more than 
one faulty seal.
