the Testing section of this chapter).
No traction exists in either direction. Brakes are applied or are incorrectly adjusted.
Hydraulic reservoir oil level is low (other hydraulic circuits affected
as well).
Piston pump by--pass valve is open.
Charge pressure is low (see Charge Pressure Relief Valve Pres-
sure Test in the Testing section of this chapter).
Wheel motor(s) are worn or damaged (see Wheel Motor Efficiency
Test in the Testing section of this chapter).
Piston (traction) pump is worn or damaged (see Piston (Traction)
Pump Flow Test in the Testing section of this chapter).
Wheel motor will not turn. Brakes are binding.
Key on wheel motor shaft is sheared or missing.

forboththeforwardandreversedirection.Duetoengine
output,itisunlikelythattractionpressurewillreachrelief
valve settings. If, however, a piston pump relief valve is
leaking or otherwise faulty, traction performance would
be affected.
