Introduction section and any precautions related to your specific equipment.
Safety precautions
C
Caution
High inlet vacuum causes cavitation which can damage internal pump components.
W
Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components.
W
Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism

Description
Action
Control operates pump in one direction
only
Control coil failure
Measure resistance at coil pins. Resistance should be
14.20 ohms (24V) or 3.66 ohms (12V) at 20°C [70°F].
Replace coil
No pump function
No power to controller
Restore power to controller
Erratic pump function
Electrical connection to pump is bad
Disconnect connection, check wires, reconnect wires
Filter bypass indicator switch
Filter switch may be bad
Check/replace filter switch. Add gauge to filter
bypass port to verify proper fluid flow and verify
switch operation by measuring resistance.
open resistance=510 ohms, closed resistance=122
