Hitachi ZX200-3 swing brake will not release after swing motor replacement: what next?
Short Answer
A swing brake that will not release after swing motor replacement may be caused by low brake-release pilot pressure, hose routing error, blocked swing spool, debris from the old motor failure, or a problem inside the replacement motor. JIAJUE checks brake-release pressure and swing work-port pressure before blaming the new motor.
What To Check
- Confirm the small brake-release line is connected correctly and reaches the swing motor brake-release port.
- Measure brake-release pilot pressure and compare swing work-port pressure with boom or arm relief pressure.
- Send old and new swing motor tags, hose photos, pressure values, and contamination photos from filters or tank.
