Swing sluggish on a Cat 324DL

Hawkeye ยท 2011-07-28 06:39

We have a 324DL with only 1200hr that sometimes gets real sluggish when swinging, like a brake is activated. It might do this for a couple of cycles than disappear. Have checked the swing gear oil and its full and like new. Anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Thanks

    what kind of building are you trying to wreck with that 324?

    Swing brake solenoid sticking, pilot oil blocked by crimped line? crossover relief sticking? It could be many things. Is it still under warranty, if so call them out to fix it.
