I got my new to me 2001 VF3 powered up today. Seemed to take a while to "wake up" not much worked at first but as I messed with it eventually everything worked. The only issue that has not gone away is I get a 179 alarm code. It says low pressure trans oil, spindle coolant oil low, or low pressure in lines..
How do I check the trans oil and spindle coolant oil? By low pressure in lines do they mean the air lines or is there oil lines too? What type of oil does it take?
If I change the spindle speed to where it has to shift from low to high gear it gives this code about every third try. It shifts fine a few times then alarms out the third or fourth shift.
When I first powered it up it would not go to zero, The spindle just spun back and forth about a half turn trying to shift the trans. I kept trying it and it finally did it after about ten times. The more I run it the better it seems to get?
Sorry for all the newbie questions... It did not come with a manual and I tried to download one from Haas but we are WAY out in the sticks and it takes forever to download stuff. I'm going to see if I can do it at work tomorrow.
