Inexperienced operator with too much load in raised bucket on downhill slope tipped machine probably about 70 degrees vertical. Machine running for about 10 to 15 seconds in that position.
Machine ran normally for about 5 to 10 minutes afterwards.
THEN: loud engine banging sounds and tons of smoke from exhaust.
Sounded like maybe the engine ate parts of the turbo.
Returned to shop, checked turbo, no damage there.
Test ran it for about 15 minutes, runs OK now, still has all its power.
But nervous about working it without knowing what happened to cause it.
Wondering if maybe oil from breather vent found its way into air intake causing temporary noise and smoke.
Hoping that by working the machine, we won't be doing damage.
Thank you for any suggestions of what to check out before taking machine back to job-site.
