Troubleshooting:
Crank turns freely but no oil is being pumped:
If the crank turns very freely but no pumping is occuring then
the pump may need to be primed.
Solution:
Disconnect the Long H2 Hose from the pump at the Quick
disconnect and pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil clear oil into the pump, this
should prime it so that suction will now occur.
Re-Connect the
Quick disconnect BEFORE turning the crank handle.
Rotate
the pump in reverse a couple of turns to coat it internally
with oil.
Oil fl ows very slowly through the Basket Strainer:
If the there is a lot of debris & breading in the oil then the
Basket Strainer will become clogged.
Solution:
Turn off the oil drain, let the Basket Strainer cool, then remove
it and clean it with soap & hot water. This condition is normal if
the oil has a lot of debris & breading in it.
Crank does not turn:
If the crank does not turn there is probably debris & breading
that has solidifi ed inside the pump and adhered to the vanes &
sidewall of the pump.
Solution:
You may need to remove pump from the handle assembly and
take it apart for cleaning. You may need to order a replacement
pump.
Crank turns but not easily:
If the pump turns, but not easily then there may be debris inside
the pump that is impeding the pump vanes.
Solution:
First, try pumping two(2) to four(4) cups of clear warm oil
(80 to 90
º
F)
through the pump in an effort to clear any debris. If
this does not help then you may need to remove pump from the
handle assembly and take it apart for cleaning. You may need to
order a replacement pump.
