Issue
Steps to Resolve
The pump system pressure needs
adjustment.
1. Locate relief valve on rear cover of oil pump.
2. Using a wrench, loosen the lock nut on adjustment screw, turn Allen
screw clockwise to increase pressure, or counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. Valves are adjustable 25psi to 300psi.
3. Retighten lock nut.
The pump system pressure is above
240 PSI, and the system is operating
in a cold environment (less than 60°F /
15°C).
1. Ambient room temperature where the system is installed should be in
the range of 60°F (15°C) TO 80°F (26°C). For ambient temperatures
below 60°F (15°C) consult the manufacturer or your supplier for the
supply of electric blanket heaters for oil barrels, pails, and bulk tanks.
2. Temperatures less than (<60°F / 15°C) may result in lubricant
viscosity increasing above the rated ISO Code you specified at the
time of order. Such adverse viscosity changes can cause higher
system operating pressures than those set at the factory.
Oil drips or leaks.
1. Turn system off and see if tightening connection resolves issue.
2. Contact manufacturer or supplier, to discuss best way to resolve.
