Troubleshooting
Relieve the pressure before checking or servicing the
equipment.
Check all possible problems and causes before
disassembling the pump.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are
instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
Pump cycles at stall or fails to hold
pressure at stall.
Worn check valve balls (16) or seats (17). Replace. See page 17.
Pump will not cycle, or cycles once and
stops.
Air valve is stuck or dirty.
Disassemble and clean air valve. See
pages 15 and 16. Use filtered air.
Check valve ball (16) severely worn and
wedged in seat (17) or manifold (1 or 3).
Replace ball and seat. See page 17.
Check valve ball (16) is wedged into seat
(17), due to overpressurization.
Install Pressure Relief Kit (see page 10).
Dispensing valve clogged.
Relieve pressure and clear valve.
Pump operates erratically.
Clogged suction line.
Inspect; clear.
Sticky or leaking check valve balls (16).
Clean or replace. See page 17.
Diaphragm (29) ruptured.
Restricted exhaust.
Remove restriction.
Pump will not operate.
Foreign material in ball checks.
Clean ball check area.
Air bubbles in fluid.
Suction line is loose.
Tighten.
Diaphragm (29) ruptured.
Loose manifolds (1, 3), or damaged seal
between manifold and seat (17).
Tighten manifold bolts (6) or replace seats
(17). See page 17.
Loose diaphragm shaft bolt (21).
Damaged o-ring (25).
Fluid in exhaust air.
Diaphragm (29) ruptured.
Loose diaphragm shaft bolt (21).
Damaged o-ring (25).
Pump exhausts excessive air at stall.
Worn air valve block (13), o-ring (12), plate
(14), pilot block (9), or o-ring (27).
Repair or replace. See pages 15 and 16.
Worn shaft seals (22).
Pump leaks air externally.
Air valve cover (7) or air valve cover
screws (8) are loose.
Air valve gasket (10) or air cover gasket
(32) is damaged.
Inspect; replace. See pages 15 and 16, 21
and 22.
Air cover screws (6) are loose.
Tighten screws. See pages 21 and 22.
Pump leaks fluid externally from ball check
valves.
Loose manifolds (1, 3), or damaged seal
between manifold and seat (17).
Tighten manifold bolts (6) or replace seats
(17). See page 17.
Relief valve relieving (Fuel Dispense
Model 810.0781).
Air inlet pressure is too high.
Reduce inlet air pressure to below 50 psi
(3.5 bar).
In evacuation application, pump is not
drawing suction.
Pump should run at uniform speed.
Reduce inlet air pressure.
