S185

[Blackmore]

I just bought a S185. After a few weeks of use I'm getting the foot pedals stick a bit and sometimes the arm will slam down. I changed the hydro oil and filter and it still does this, Any Ideas? Thanks

Are both pedals sticky or just the lift? First check that the pivots on the pedals aren't rusted up. If they are free then probably rust in the detent cap on the control valve spools. They can be tricky but are serviceable without removing the whole valve. Remove the 2 bolts at the rear of the control spool and when you remove the cap you'll find some detent balls and springs which will need to be replaced.

I'll give it a try this weekend. Thanks

Now my low oil pressure light/warnings started to alert. and shut down I checked the oil and even changed it out with a new filter. Same alert after that. I only have 600 hours on it.

Sounds like a bad oil pressure sender, t a guage into it to veryify you have oil pressure or just try a new sending unit. On the block right near the starter.

I just got to my shop and My little Brother added a gallon of Hydro. fluid now the bubble is at the top of the gauge. Will this hurt it? or do I need to drain it out and put it in his lunch box> Brothers, just when I thought he was done growing, he started growing a brain on me.

Could it be just to the right of the dip stick?
