Case SV340 Troubleshooting
The
Case SV340 skid steer loader is powered by 207 cu.in (3.4L) FPT F5B FL413
four-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine with a rated power of 84 hp (63 kW) at
2500 rpm. The Case SV340 is equipped with a vertical-lift loader boom,
single-speed or two-speed hydrostatic transmission, ASA 100 drive chains, and
14.00x17.5 standard tires. The hydraulic system has a pump with fluid flow rate
of 24.2 gpm (91.5 lpm) or 38.7 gpm (146.5 lpm). The loader has a boom breakout
force of 6815 lbs (3100 kg) and bucket breakout force of 9530 lbs (4330 kg). The
rated operating capacity is 3400 lbs (1545 kg), and tipping load is 6800 lbs
(3090 kg).
