10. TROUBLESHOOTING

The following troubleshooting procedures will help you identify and correct problems with your system.  Every part of the system has been designed per 
your specifications and should not require maintenance, repair, or calibration beyond what was described in the maintenance section of this document.

If any of these troubleshooting procedures do not solve the issue, contact your supplier for additional support.

Issue 

Steps to Resolve

Fluid Level Gauge is not reading correctly.

 

1.  Remove the gauge.

 

2.  Wipe the gauge and float assembly with a lint free cloth to remove any excess fluid.

 

3.   Ensure all hinged joints and fittings are in good condition and moving freely  

and reinstall.

 

4.   If the gauge is still not working correctly, remove it and contact your supplier for a 

replacement.

 

NOTE:

   Overfilling the tanks may cause damage to the Fluid Level Gauge and cause it to 

read incorrectly.

The tank is not filling correctly.

 

1.  Check to ensure the valves on the front of the unit are in the correct position.

 

2.   Check all fittings for cracks or leaks.

 

3.  Check all hydraulic hoses for cracks or leaks.

 

4.   Check the motor to ensure it is rotating in the correct direction. If not, contact your 

authorized Electrician.

 

5.  Check the Tank Isolation Valves and ensure they are in the OPEN position.

 

6.   Check the Pressure Gauge to make sure that the pressure level is registering  

when the motor is running

 

7.   If the Pressure Gauge is running above its normal range, it is time to replace your Spin-

on Filter. Replace and check your Pressure Gauge again

 

8.   Check the seals on the Suction Hose Assembly coupling to ensure they are not cracked 

or damaged. Replace if necessary.

 

9.   Ensure the Desiccant Air Breather has had the white rubber band removed (if factory 

supplied breather).

WARNING!

ALWAYS ensure the main power supply is first locked out and the system depressurized before any service 
is performed on this system.  NEVER connect or disconnect lines, change filter elements, or undertake any 
service work when this system is running or energized.  SEVERE injury or death may occur.
The Tank Isolation Valves (located on the underside of each tank) must be in the open position when operat-
ing the system and in the closed position when servicing the system.
