SYMPTOMS AND SOLUTIONS - EASY TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please use this guide to easily troubleshoot your Eagle Hydraulic power unit. It is recommended to go through each step,
as this guide has been created in a logical sequence. If followed from top to bottom, you should go through all possible
symptoms and should be able to find the problem.
The most common situation you can easily fix:
Problem: If you have an option 2 and you are not able to build pressure
Cause: The manual override of the 2-way poppet valve has probably been left open
How to fix it: Push down on the poppet valve and turn clockwise until it locks. The manual override is now closed, and it
should operate properly.
The following table lists the most common problem you can encounter and what you should verify in each case.
