1450 Hydro question
 

I have a 1450 that has the lever to release the hydro valves so it can be moved. Up until a few weeks ago that was what I did to move it around the garage. Now it will move freely without using the lever. It still runs like it always did, what may be going on?

Hmmm.....Interesting!

:bigthink:

The only thing that I can think of is, that the plunger button from one of the valves is falling down on its own when the motor is not running, and when the motor starts, it pops up. IF that were the case, I would think that an internal spring to the Check Valve has become broken and the Valve needs to be replaced.

Thanks, any harm in running it like that?

Are you sure you don't have the auto release valves in there and just didn't know it? They are, and have been the only replacement for either style valve for some time now. It is kinda strange that it doesn't affect operation if the release buttons are depressed all the time??
