PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The existing 236-7482 Switch Assembly that selects which medium pressure function is active can fail mechanically or electrically on certain M313C, M315C, M316C M318C, M322C Wheeled Excavators and M322C Material Handlers. If the existing selector switch fails, it can result in inability to change between active functions.
