Mustang 2056 Troubleshooting

The Mustang 2056 Series 2 skid steer loader driveline system components: a 202.5 cu.in (3.3L) Yanmar 4TNV98 four-cylinder direct injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 68 hp (50.7 kW), and 2-speed hydrostatic transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 19 gal/min (72 l/min) or 30 gal/min (114 l/min). The Mustang 2056 is equipped with a radial-lift loader boom, 100K drive chains, and 12x16.5 HD standard tires. The skid steer loader has a maximum lift height of 121.5" (3085 mm) to hinge pin and dump height of 91.8" (2330 mm). The rated operating capacity is 1900 lbs (862 kg), and tipping load is 3800 lbs (1725 kg).

Dirty fuel lines or hoses - Clean fuel hoses and lines.
Cylinder head gasket defective - Gasket should be replaced.
Leaking or defective piston rings - Piston rings replacement required.

Engine overheating
Engine has a lack of coolant - The cooling system needs to be refilled and checked for faults.
Engine oil level is low - Fill up the engine oil.
Dirty radiator core or defective radiator cap - Clean radiator or replace cap.
Damaged or worn fan belt - Fan belt must be replaced.
Diesel engine overloaded - Load reducing required.

Low oil pressure
Oil level is low - Fill the crankcase with oil.
Oil filter clogging - Replace or service engine oil filter.
Oil grade or viscosity is wrong - Fill up with the proper oil viscosity.
Main bearing oil clearance is excessive - Change bearings.
Oil pump failure - Inspect and change as required.

Abnormal engine noise or knocking
Engine oil level is insufficient - Fill up the engine oil.
Engine is not preheated - Normalize the temperature by warming up the engine.
Improper setting of fuel injection pump timing - Use the correct fuel injection pump timing adjustment.
Incorrectly adjusted low idle speed - Test and adjust.
Fuel injector fault - Replace or clean fuel injectors.
Misaligned or defective connecting rod - Need to align or replace the connecting rod.
Scored or worn pistons - Replace the pistons as required.

Drive System Troubleshooting
