SCO 520531.18 (SCO )

Code: 520531.18

Shortcode:

Description:

This error code, SCO 520531.18, is generated when the control software receives a value for the loader bucket angle that is above the upper stop value of the return-to-position function. This indicates that the position sensor is reading values beyond the physical limits of the bucket.

Reaction:

When this fault is detected, the return-to-position function is not available.

Recommendations:

  • Inspect Loader Bucket Mechanism:
    • Check for any obstructions or mechanical issues that could cause the loader bucket to exceed its upper stop. Repair any mechanical faults.
  • Verify Sensor Calibration:
    • Ensure that the loader bucket position sensor is correctly calibrated. Recalibrate the sensor if necessary.
  • Check Sensor Operation:
    • Ensure that the loader bucket position sensor is functioning correctly. Replace the sensor if necessary.
  • Consult Technical Support:
    • If the issue persists, consult technical support for further diagnostics and assistance.

Note:

Regular Maintenance:

  • Regularly inspect and maintain the loader bucket mechanism and position sensor to ensure proper operation and prevent faults.
