Excessive 
noise/vibration 

A. 

  Check that all inlet line connections are tight and properly sealed. 

B. 

  Ensure that the suction connection in the reservoir is not adjacent to or near to 

any oil return connection which could cause oil foaming. 

C. 

  With a ¾” wrench, exercise the inlet and outlet pressure control valves.  There 

may be a piece of trash stuck in one of these valves that is causing the valve to 
chatter.  After exercising the valves and the trash has been removed, reset the valve 
to its previous position by ensuring that all the operating pressures are back to the 
normal values.  Exercising these two valves will change the pressure in which the 
unit is running. 

High/ low  filter 
discharge 
pressure 

If filter discharge pressure range is too high, replace filter element. 

(

Replace filter element at maximum 30 PSIG (2 bar) differential

)  

If filter discharge pressure range is too low with a clean filter, reset pressure relief 
safety valve (PRV1) by turning off machine for 15 seconds and allow the pop-off 
valve to reseat. Restart the machine and check pressure settings. Adjust PCV1 if 
necessary. 

Outlet 
Pressure 

The normal outlet pump discharge pressure range should be 3.4-608 BAR (50-100 
PSIG). 
If outlet pump discharge pressure range is too high

,

 check the return line for 

blockage. 
If outlet pump discharge pressure range is too low, reset 

PRV2

 by turning off 

machine for 15 seconds and allow the pop-off valve to reseat. Restart the machine 
and check pressure settings. 

 

 

 

 

NOTICE: 

DO NOT adjust pressure setting in PRV1 & PRV2. Relief valves 
are they are factory set at 290 PSIG.   

 In no case should the pressure be allowed to 
exceed 300 PSIG.  If such a high pressure is 
indicated, immediately turn off the unit, and 
take any necessary steps to pre-heat the oil.  
Refer to shut down procedures. If this occurs 
use the main shut off switch. This unit is 
equipped with a two- (2) minute time delay for 
cooling down the oil heater during a normal 
shutdown.
