TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTICE:

Maintenance shall be performed by qualified technicians only, following the appropriate

procedures and warnings as presented in this manual.

SYMPTOM PROBABLE

CAUSE

Pump Not Priming

1. Pump not wetted.

2. Worn

vanes.

3. Internal control valve closed.

4. Strainer

clogged.

5. Inlet line or valves clogged or too restrictive.

6. Broken Drive Train (truck mounted pumps)

7. Pump

vapor-locked.

8. Pump speed too low for priming.

9. Relief valve partially open, worn or not seating properly.

10. Vanes installed incorrectly (see "Vane Replacement").

Reduced Capacity

1. Pump speed too low.

2. Internal control valve not fully open.

3. Excessive restriction in the inlet line (i.e.: undersized piping, too many elbows &

fittings, clogged strainer, etc.).

4. Damaged or worn parts (vanes, cylinder, or rotor).

5. Excessive restriction in discharge line causing partial flow through the relief valve.

6. Relief Valve worn, set too low, or not seating properly.

7. External Bypass Valve set too low.

8. Operating

without

a vapor return line.

9. Vanes installed incorrectly (see "Vane Replacement").

10. Liner installed backwards.

Noise

1. Excessive pressure drop on the pump due to:

a. Undersized or restricted fittings in the inlet line.

b. Pump speed too fast.

Pump too far from fluid source.

2. Running the pump for extended periods with a closed discharge line.

3. Pump not securely mounted.

4. Improper drive line – truck mounted pumps (See “Pump Drive”).

5. Misalignment of pump, reducer, or motor - base mounted pumps.

6. Bearings worn or damaged.

7. Vibration from improperly anchored piping.

8. Bent shaft, or drive coupling misaligned.

9. Excessively worn rotor.

10. Malfunctioning valve in the system.

11. Relief valve setting too low.

12. Liner installed backwards.

13. Damaged vanes (see following category).

Damaged Vanes

1. Foreign

objects

entering the pump.

2. Running the pump dry for extended periods of time.

3. Cavitation.

4. Excessive

heat.

5. Worn or bent push rods, or worn push rod holes.

6. Hydraulic hammer - pressure spikes.

7. Vanes installed incorrectly (see "Vane Replacement").

8. Incompatibility

with the liquids pumped.
