Bobcat T650 stalled, won't restart.

[MrFatBear]

My 2017 T650 stalled and won't restart. The throttle was set low and I was doing a tight turn, and had the bucket about 2ft off the ground. We had to remove the door because I was trapped inside. Since it wouldn't restart we had to bleed off the cylinder to lower the bucket. Absolutely no error codes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

check fuses and all safety switches

A little side note. There should be a "Manual Lift Release System" on the machine. It is a red knob on the right side of the seat that you twist and pull up on and the arms will lower. It is specifically there for the situation you were in.

Of course if your bucket was tilted down, it would only lower he arms until the bucket hit the ground.

Man I really appreciate that. I had to call a buddy to rescue me! Temp was 92 and I was cooking! I need to take a class on this machine.

I will. I just downloaded the manual so I can find them all.

so no to some Huck Tuah with some starter fluid?

 

[MrFatBear]

I'm not familiar with diesels so I was reluctant to try starter fluid. But I will try it this week. This damn full time job keeps getting in the way of my fun time.

Does it even try to crank over? Sounds like you have power in the cab at least?

Yep, cranks and everything fine electrically in the cab.

Squeeze thr primer bulb to see if you have fuel. Open the air bleed on fuel filter to verify you have fuel to there when you squeeze the bulb. My 20 year old 753 lost the fuel pickup tube in the tank. If I fill the tank totally full it will run for a short time. Good luck

Could also pull codes from the computer if you have the right adapters
