What should I do if the engine of the skid steer loader fails to start or has insufficient power?

Skid steer loaders are widely used in construction, agriculture and municipal projects due to their flexibility and versatility. However, long-term high-intensity operation may lead to mechanical failure and affect work efficiency.

Today, learn about the solutions for skid steer loaders when the engine fails to start or has insufficient power.

Possible Causes

Insufficient battery power: prolonged parking or charging system failure.

Fuel problem: clogged diesel filter, poor fuel quality or air intake in fuel line.

Intake/exhaust system problems: clogged air filter or damaged turbocharger.

Sensor failure: crankshaft position sensor, fuel pressure sensor failure.

SOLUTION

✔ Check battery voltage, charge or replace if necessary.

✔ Replace the fuel filter and evacuate air from the fuel line.

✔ Clean or replace air filter, check turbocharger for oil leaks.

✔ Read the fault code with a diagnostic instrument and replace the damaged sensor.
