    Pressure test the pump and the hydraulic hoses comming out of the control bank. This will determan if the pump is worn or the O rings in the control bank have failed. Also check the pressure relief valves. The pump shouldn't need bleeding.

    Also, do a flow meter check, it takes pressure and flow, to make things work. While you are at it, pull the pump, and make sure it rotates, could be something simple, like a sheared key, or bad pump to motor connector...

    hi, the machine uses a load sensing pump control system. you will need to check signal pressure at the pump compensator what is the serial number ? what is machine history ? has any work been done on the hydraulics lately? did the problem happen slowly or came on suddenly? have you operated all of the controls one at a time ? does it make any difference are there any unusual noises?

    The pump uses hydraulic pressure to activate it, not a computer. There should be a small hose on conneted to the pump which is the compensator line.
