Troubleshooting Slow Bucket Movement on Liebherr Excavators



Fault Cause Analysis:

1 When the excavator bucket moves slowly or lacks power, first check if the output pressure of the PPC valve is normal (normal value: 2.7 MPa).

2 If normal, proceed to check if the bucket spool in the control valve moves smoothly.

3 If smooth, continue by checking if the pressure compensation valve is functioning correctly or if the pressure compensation plunger moves smoothly.

4 If functioning correctly, check if the leakage rate of the bucket cylinder is within normal limits.

5 If normal, the cause of the slow bucket movement is a malfunction in the bucket safety and inlet valve; repair or replacement is required. Further details:

1 If step 1 is abnormal, the PPC valve is faulty and requires replacement.

2 If step 2 is abnormal, the control valve spool is malfunctioning and requires repair or replacement.

3 If step 3 is abnormal, the pressure compensation valve or plunger is malfunctioning and requires repair or replacement.

4 If step 4 is abnormal, the bucket cylinder piston seal is faulty and requires repair or replacement.
