There is a possibility of a malfunction of the pump load sensing (LS) valve resulting in slower work
equipment moving speed and slower travel speed. When the aforementioned phenomenon occurs, con-
duct (1) checking and confirming the phenomenon, (2) checking and determining if the LS valve is func-
tioning or malfunctioning and (3) carrying out the modification listed in this PARTS & SERVICE
NEWS.

Purpose of
Part No. Part Name Qty Remarks
Part
This part number should be used for overseas
markets (2 assemblies for F and R). The stock
708-2L-06710 Valve A 2
in the Parts Supply Center was inspected on
October 29th and returned the old valve stock.
Replacement
708-2L-00300 Pump A 1 PC200-7, PC210-7
708-2L-00103 Pump A 1 PC228US-3
708-2L-00860 Pump A 1 BR120T-1
Because of a machining error for the sleeve of the LS valve ( machining was made by the cutting
tools of which chipping was overlooked) the inner diameter of the excape section of some sleeves is
smaller than the specification. In this case, the piston may be caught by the subect section and the LS
valve spool will keep outputting the min. swash plate signals to decrease the discharge flow rate of
the pump, thus retarding the work equipment speed and the machine travel speed.
Cause for malfunctioning of the LS valve (stays at the min. swash plate angle).

4. Checking and confirming the phenomenon.
(1) Hydraulic Excavators:
1) Make the following settings:
•Mode: L mode
•Engine revolution: Full
•Merging - dividing condition: Dividing condition
2) Check items
1) Operate the work equipment independently to check if the speed is not extremely slow. When
the work equipment is operated repetitvely, the speed may become slow once in awhile.
2) At the same time, measure the pump discharge pressure, PFC, PRC and pump control pressure,
PENF and PENR.

6. Modification:
If the LS valve has malfunctioned as a result of this determination process described in Section 5,
replace the corresponding LS valve.
Mounting position of the LS valve: Refer to the outline drawing showing in the preceeding section.
Shape of the tightening section: width across flat = 27mm, Hexagon head shape (Use a 27mm box
wrench)
Precatuion: The LS valve has a structure that the tip end section can be separated. Although it
does not come out easily, be careful not to let it fall.
