Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Hydraulic Reservoir Low Level Switch Circuit Low (Grounded).
ACTION: Check oil level in reservoir sight glass. If level is correct, remove tank float switch and test magnetic reed contact continuity; clean varnish buildup off the slider float stem.
Red Seal field insights
Cavitation Override: Protects expensive axial piston pumps; a grounded signal trips the cab buzzer and drops the engine to low idle after a 10-second warning countdown.
