The Problem: Coolant Loss During Operation
A customer contacted us regarding their Manitou MLT 735, reporting that the handler was losing water while in use. This issue was causing concern, as it could lead to overheating and potential damage to the engine if left unresolved.
Our Diagnostic Process
We ran the machine to identify the source of the coolant loss. Upon inspection, we traced the issue to the top hose, which had started to deteriorate. The layers of rubber in the hose were coming apart, causing it to collapse when the handler was in motion. This collapse led the hose to rub against the alternator belt, eventually wearing a hole in the pipe.
The Repair: Replacing the Top Hose
To resolve the issue, we carried out the following steps:
- Removing the Damaged Hose: The worn and damaged top hose was carefully removed.
- Installing a New Hose: We replaced the faulty hose with a brand-new one, ensuring a secure and proper fit.
- Refilling Coolant: The coolant system was refilled with the appropriate coolant to restore optimal engine performance.
- Testing the Machine: After the repair, we thoroughly tested the handler to ensure the issue was resolved and the machine was operating correctly.
The Result: Fully Operational Handler
Following the repair, the Manitou MLT 735 was back to full working order. The coolant loss issue was resolved, and the customer was pleased to have their handler running smoothly and reliably once again.
