Note: In the event of a power 

failure,theshutoffvalveshould

be closed, if the restarting of 

the pump is not desirable once 

power is regained. 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

NTG50 

NOMAD TRANS-FLO™

Pump will not run or runs slowly.

1.Checkairinletscreenandairfilterfordebris.

2.Checkforstickingairvalve,flushairvalve 

in solvent. 

3.  Check for worn out air valve. If piston face in air 

valve is shiny instead of dull, air valve is worn  

beyond working tolerances and must  

be replaced.

4.  Check center block rings. If worn excessively, they 

willnotsealandairwillsimplyflowthroughpump

and out air exhaust.

5.  Check type of lubricant being used.  

ISO 15-5 wt. recommended. 

Pump runs but little or no product flows. 

1.  Check for pump cavitation; slow pump speed 

down to match thickness of material being 

pumped.

2.  Check for sticking ball valves. If material being 

pumped is not compatible with pump elastomers, 

swelling may occur. 

3.  Make sure all suction connections are  

air tight.

Pump air valve freezes.

Check for excessive moisture in compressed air. 

Air bubbles in pump discharge.

1. Check for ruptured diaphragm.

2.  Check for tightness for clamp bands,  

especially at intake manifold. 

Product comes out air exhaust.

1. Check for diaphragm rupture.

2. Check tightness of piston plates to shaft.

Pump rattles.

Create false discharge head or suction lift.
