8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
Only qualified hydraulic technicians should service the pump or
system components. A system failure is not necessarily the result
of a pump malfunction. To determine the cause of the problem,
the complete system must be considered in any diagnostic
procedure.
The following troubleshooting chart is intended to be used only
as an aid in determining if a problem exists. For repair service,
contact your Enerpac Authorized Service Center.
