CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

6-6

6.4 Troubleshooting the Built-In Filtration System (cont.)

PROBLEM

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

B.

Improperly installed or prepared
filter pan components.

Test

: Close the drain valve.

Move the filter handle to the

OFF

position, pull the filter pan (and
Power Shower, if so equipped)
from the unit. Move the filter
handle to the

ON

position.

If a strong stream of air is being
pumped out of the oil return port
(or the Power Shower port), the
problem is with the filter pan
components.

B.

Remove the oil from the filter pan
and replace the filter paper,
ensuring that the filter paper
support screen is in place

under

the paper.

If this does not correct the
problem, the filter tube suction
tube is probably blocked. Remove
the blockage using a thin, flexible
wire. If unable to remove the
blockage, call FASC.

Pump starts, but no

transfer takes place

or the transfer is very

slow. (cont.)

C.

Improperly installed or prepared
filter pan components.

C.

Verify that filter connection
O-rings are present and in good
condition.

Replace the filter paper, ensuring
that the filter paper support screen
is properly positioned

under

the

paper.

A.

Plugged openings or solidified
shortening in the Power Shower.

Test

: Look for oil squirting out

around the Power Shower gasket.
If so, Power Shower is obstructed.

A.

Clean the Power Shower per
instructions in Chapter 5 of this
manual.

B.

Missing/worn O-rings and gasket
on Power Shower.

B.

Verify that O-rings and gasket are
present and in good condition.

Power Shower is not

spraying properly.

C.

Missing paper in filter pan. (This
causes too much pressure in the
oil return lines, resulting in a
strong flow through the Power
Shower, but also squirting of oil
from around the gasket.)

C.

Verify that filter paper is properly
installed in the filter pan.
