PROBLEM

Bucket cylinder drift may occur during the operation of a rotating grapple on certain 301.5, 301.6, 301.6C, 301.8, 301.8C, 302.5, and 302.5C Excavators. Machines that are configured with a quick coupler for work tools and with secondary auxiliary lines experience the bucket cylinder drift. The bucket cylinder drift affects machines with a diverter valve at the head end of the bucket cylinder and without a diverter valve at the rod end of the bucket cylinder.
