PROBLEM
The existing 185-1897 Pilot Pressure Reducing Valve can fail on certain 988H, 992K, and 993K Large Wheel Loaders. If the existing 185-1897 Pilot Pressure Reducing Valve fails it can cause excessive noise while operating the implements. It can also cause excessive drift of the Lift Arms (Boom). If the pilot system is overpressurized as the result of a failure it may also cause external leaks from the pilot circuit due to overpressurization of seals. |
