B. Piston and Magnetic Gear Heads 

When this occurs: 

Check the following: 

Possible Solution 

When “Check Pump 
Head” error occurs with 
your piston or magnetic 
gear head. 

When was the last time you 
had the head serviced?  

If you believe the head is stuck 
due to being dried out, you can 
try wetting it by placing an 
appropriate solvent in the upper 
tubing overnight. 

Are you pumping a gritty 
solution, or one that can 
crystallize if allowed to dry 
out? 

If it still won’t turn, contact 
Parker to arrange an RGA to 
send your pump in for service, 
or purchasing a service kit if you 
have a magnetic gear head.  

When your piston pump 
head seems to turn and 
the motor runs, but no 
fluid flows. 
 
 

Either the piston is broken,  
or the coupler is loose. 

Contact Parker for tech support 
or to arrange for service for your 
pump and RGA# 

When your magnetic 
pump head seems to turn 
and the motor runs, but no 
fluid flows.  

Has the unit run dry?  

Magnetic gear head pumps do 
not dry prime well after they 
have been broken in. You must 
keep the pump wet. Be sure you 
are using a check valve as your 
dispensing tip so the fluid 
doesn’t run back into the 
container. 

Is it a high viscosity fluid? 

Magnetic gear heads do not 
perform well with viscous fluids, 
as they can de-couple. Either 
reduce the viscosity, provide 
head pressure, or choose a 
different style of head.
