Problem
Cause
Solution
Pump will not run
Closed dispense valve
Pump only runs with valve open
Pressure too low
Increase supply pressure using the
pressure adjusting valve
Insufficient hydraulic fluid supply
Check hydraulic supply. Adjust to a
maximum of 3 gpm (11 lpm) flow
Clogged fluid outlet line, intake
valve, dispense valve, suction line.
Relieve pressure. Check; clear
obstructions
Reciprocator damaged.
Pump speeds up or runs erratically
Pump piston and/or intake valve
worn

Refill and reprime. Do not allow
pump to run dry. Monitor closely or
use a low-level cutoff valve
Pump runs but output low on up
and/or down stroke
Pump piston and/or intake valve

strokes
Insufficient hydraulic fluid supply
Check hydraulic supply
Pressure too low
Increase supply pressure using the

Hydraulic oil leaks from fittings in
the upper or lower reciprocator
blocks (53, 47)
Fittings (16, 17, 25) are loose, or
their o-rings are worn or damaged
Tighten the self-sealing fittings. If
leaking persists, change o-rings
