Pressure does  

not build up when 

pumping handle.

Insufficient fluid 

level in reservoir. 

Piston O-rings 

worn or ruptured.
 

 

 

 

 

Bleed port check 

valve or shut-

tle check valve 

 inoperative.
Fill tube assembly 

and filter plugged. 

 

Shuttle valve 

pushed in for small 

fluid displacement 

when large fluid 

displacement is 

required.

Add fluid. 

 

 

Inspect O-rings 

and replace as 

necessary. If  

O-rings are new, 

verify their fluid 

compatibility.
Inspect O-rings 

and replace as 

necessary. 

Remove and clean 

fill tube assembly. 

Refill reservoir 

with clean fluid.
Pull shuttle valve 

outward from 

body.

High pressure 

does not increase 

when pumping 

handle while 

 shuttle valve is 

pushed in.

Air trapped in 

pump piston.
Rapid pump han-

dle strokes which 

lessen fluid flow 

through the pump 

piston.

Reprime pump.
Operate pump 

handle with 

smooth moderate 

action.

Pump handle rises 

after pumping.

High pressure 

check valve O-ring 

worn or ruptured.

Inspect O-ring  

and replace as 

necessary.

Piston plate (with 

deadweights) 

drops rapidly.*
Unable to hold 

constant pressure.

Worn piston and 

cylinder assembly.

Use a heavy 

oil temporarily. 

Replace piston & 

cylinder.

Stacked dead-

weights wobble 

when spinning 

piston plate.*

Damaged dead-

weights.

Check dead-

weights for visible 

damage (bends, 

dents, nicks, etc.) 

and alignment.

Piston plate as-

sembly will not 

spin.*

Too heavy an oil 

grade being used.

Flush & fill unit 

with proper grade 

of oil (SAE 20 or 

SAE 10). 

Replace piston & 

cylinder assembly. 

Disassemble and 

flush complete 

test unit with ker-

osene or alcohol. 

Reassemble unit.

Pressure builds 

up when pump-

ing handle, but 

decreases when 

pumping is 

stopped.

Leakage at outlet 

or gauge connec-

tions(s).
High pressure 

check valve O-ring 

worn or ruptured.
Defective pressure 

release valve.

Inspect connec-

tions and tighten 

as necessary.
Inspect O-ring and 

replace as neces-

sary.
Hand tighten re-

lease valve.
Inspect release 

valve seating sur-

faces. Replace as 

necessary.
Remove release 

valve seat and 

inspect O-ring un-

derneath. Replace 

as   necessary.
