Troubleshooting Tips
Remember: The electric motor only runs during the crimping process. The motor energizes when the crimp switch is pressed and de-energizes when the crimp
switch is released or when the crimp cycle is completed. While retracting, the hydraulic dump valve is energized. When the valve is energized, oil flow is directed
from the pump to the cylinder. When the valve is de-energized, oil flows from the cylinder back to the reservoir.
Symptom
Corrective Action
Pump will not start
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in to correct voltage outlet.
Have electrician confirm correct voltage is available at outlet.
• Make sure switch on pump is in the ‘ON’ position. Pump may need service.
Sporadic operation
• Check oil level.
• Bleed entire hydraulic system to remove trapped air.
Noisy operation
• Air in system….Check oil level.
• Bleed entire hydraulic system to remove trapped air.
• Clean pump filter screen.
Pump Runs but Does Not Build Pressure or Pump Oil
• Check oil level.
• Clean pump filter screen.
• Internal Leakage…Pump needs services at authorized repair facility.
Crimp diameters change
• Verify the correct hose/fitting combination.
• Verify the correct die cage.
• Repair or replace the damaged die cage.
• Tighten loose transducer and brackets, and then recalibrate them if necessary.
• Tighten any loose bolts or screws.
• Lubricate the die cage per the maintenance procedures.
• Lubricate the tie rod bushings per the maintenance procedures.
If the symptom appears to be solely pump or cylinder related, refer to the Repair Parts Sheets.
Any electrical checks must be performed by a qualified electrician.
