Bobcat code D7527: Drive left swash plate out of position
What it means
The left drive pump's swash plate isn't where the drive controller commanded it to be, so left-side travel may be wrong.
Can I keep running?
Stop: fix before runningNo. Stop the machine safely (bucket or attachment down, engine off) and find the cause before you run it again.
Check first
- Park on level ground, lower the lift arms and attachment to the ground, stop the engine and remove the key.
- Check the hydraulic fluid level in the sight gauge.
- Never feel for a leak with your hand. Use cardboard; a pinhole leak can inject oil under the skin.
- Don't try to drive it to see what happens. Call your dealer.
Likely causes
- Faulty swash plate position sensor or wiring
- Drive pump control fault
- Low charge pressure or hydraulic fluid
The fix
This needs a dealer diagnosis of the drive pump controls and sensors. Don't operate it, since uncommanded or wrong drive movement is possible.
