Starting the engine requires pressing the clutch. Many novice drivers who purchase manual transmission cars are unaware of this and start the car without pressing the clutch, which increases the load on the starter, causes the battery to output a higher current, and consequently affects the engine's ignition performance. Related Concepts of the Clutch: The clutch refers to the separation device between the car's engine and the transmission, also known as the clutch. How the Clutch Works: The driving part and the driven part of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling), or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch). This allows temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts. The engine's transmission device delivers different speeds to the wheels depending on the vehicle's speed.

What Causes a Hydraulic Excavator to Lose Power When Stalled?

The reasons for a hydraulic excavator losing power when stalled are as follows: Reason 1: The engine has sufficient power, but a stalling phenomenon occurs. The hydraulic pump itself also has a certain power output. If the hydraulic pump's power exceeds the engine's power, a stalling (power loss) phenomenon will occur. This requires testing and adjusting the hydraulic pump on a test bench to reduce the hydraulic pump's power to 95% of the engine's power. Reason 2: The machine drifts to one side while moving, and one control handle's operation is unsatisfactory. Hydraulic pumps are divided into front/rear pumps or left/right pumps. Drifting during movement indicates a fault in one of the pumps. The simplest diagnostic method is to disconnect and swap the two high-pressure hydraulic hoses of the pump. If the previously slow movement becomes faster and the fast movement becomes slower, this confirms a fault in one pump. For such issues, simply remove the hydraulic pump, repair or replace the faulty pump's internal components, and then test and adjust it on the bench. This will also resolve the unsatisfactory performance of the control handle.
