HYDRAULICS run hot

Recently replaced all lines on my 2006 PC50 Komatsu ...one line had an elbow and the company used a smaller elbow and reducer due to not having the proper size . will this make excess friction causing additional heat on my system? CHEERS

    It's possible. How do the coolers and radiator look? When was the last time the filters were changed? Also moved this over to the compact excavator forum

    Depending on where the smaller size fittings were installed could certainly create extra heat. It would be best to get the correct size fittings.
