BOBCAT ACS (lift tilt) Problem.

How do you lift a bobcat bucket?

Press the left toe area to raise the bucket and use your left heel to lower it. The right pedal operates the dumping function of the bucket. Use your right heel to raise the bucket teeth, scooping up sand or dirt. To dump the bucket, press the top portion of the right pedal.

How is lift and tilt calibration performed on a bobcat?

Failure to calibrate after component replacement may result in error codes, poor performance or reduced life of actuator (s).There are two methods to perform the lift and tilt calibration, one is the Actuator Test and the other is manually. The Actuator Test is performed with the Service PC.

Why is the actuator on my Bobcat not centered?

When we checked for codes we were getting actuator codes and valve not centered codes (don’t remember the actual numbers). Talked to the Bobcat rep (no longer trust the local Bobcat dealer & mechanics) and he said it was probably the actuator and may be the valve sticking. When the actuator is off it’s pretty easy to check valve movement.

What to do if your bobcat’s valve is hanging up?

Talked to the Bobcat rep (no longer trust the local Bobcat dealer & mechanics) and he said it was probably the actuator and may be the valve sticking. When the actuator is off it’s pretty easy to check valve movement. Apply force to it manually to see if it’s hanging up. I would bet that it’s not the valve but the actuator (which is what mine was).

Why is my Bobcat loader in Fail mode?

If the initial Actuator Test results in a fail mode due to a slow return to neutral, follow the troubleshooting tree to pinpoint the probable cause. If the Actuator Test fails after the hydraulic oil is warmed,go to the next step and loosen the bolts that mount the actuator to the control valve.
