Caterpillar 320D Move Slowly Diagnostics:
1.Caterpillar 320D excavator can work with 3 modes:Elaborate mode,common mode and heavy load mode.The 3 work modes work related load:75%,90% and 100%.If the CAT Caterpillar ET 320D is set under elaborate mode,maybe cause move slowly.(Customer check it work on heavy load mode)
2.Because the engine rotate speed and engine smog are correctly,so the engine is work fine.It maybe the hydraulic system get trouble.
1) Pilot system control oil line with low pressure
The pilot pump provides pressure oil for the pilot system called main control oil line,it can make excavator do related motion.If the pilot system fails and the pilot system pressure is too low,it will cause pilot oil can not control the main control valve or the main control valve spool travel will be shortly,so it will make excavator move slowly.
2) Main pump with low pressure
3) Hydraulic oil line is blocked or hydraulic filter air-logged.
