The screws of the pump-chamber
maybe not tightened enough. Fix it!
2
X
Check the direction of flow showed by
the arrow on the pump, in case of
wrong way, turn the pump head.

Check suction pipeline and TC- seals
for tightness.

X
Check suction head-increase suction
line cross section.
5

Check viscosity of liquid pumped.
6

X
Check pump speed. Control speed of
drive motor. Check voltage and
frequency and the fuse (6,3A T in the
control box)

X
Avoid air inclusions in the liquid to be
pumped.
8
X
X
Check pressure head-open valve in
discharge line completely, remove
obstruction in discharge line.
9
X
Pressure line completely or partly
clogged, diaphragm maybe broken,
change diaphragm!
10
X
The diameter of the pipes in suction or
pressure line are too small.
11
X
Check the coupling halves. They must
be fixed with 1mm space.
12
X
Check longitudinal play of coupling rod
pins. The spider might be worn.
13

X
Check whether foreign bodies in pump.
Disassemble pump, remove foreign
bodies, replace defective parts.
14 X

X
Pump stopped by the thermal circuit
breaker. Please allow the motor to cool
down – please reduce the power
consumption.
15 X
X
Bearings are worn or defective
Disassemble pump, replace the shaft –
bearing – cap unit (PSKITWLC155)
16
X
The valves are dry (e.g. not in use for a
long time), deformed or worn. Change
valve or wet the pump.
17
X
The diaphragm is burst ( the discharge
pressure was too high) – replace it
PSKITQ15.

X
X
O–rings between valve plate and pump
housing are defective PSKITQ12.
19
X
Align coupling accurately
20

X
The clamping ring screw got loose –
fixe it!
21 X
X
Parameters of the control panel are
wrong – check basic settings.
22
X
Pump after SIP cooled down too fast –
slow cooling with room temperature
