•
No fluid available: Check inlet, open slide valve
if necessary

suction port or suction strainer
•
During standstill, the pressure pipe drains;
check the pipework for leakage and the non-
return valve for contaminants; remedy errors

•
Leakage in the system; check pipework and
remedy leakage
3. Unit does not shut down
•
Leakage in the system; check pipework and
