PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

 

BROKEN SHAFT 

 

Probable Cause 

 

 

Foreign objects entering the pump. 

 

Viscosity too high for the pump speed. 

 

Relief valve not opening. 

 

Hydraulic hammer - pressure spikes. 

 

 Pump/driver, 

driveline/drive shaft misalignment. 

 

Excessively worn vanes or vane slots. 

 

Settled or solidified material in the pump at start-up. 

 

Overtightened V-belts, if used. 

 

SEAL LEAKAGE 

 

Probable Cause 

 

 

O-rings not compatible with the liquids pumped. 

 

O-rings nicked, cut or twisted. 

 

Shaft at seal area damaged, worn or dirty. 

 

 Excessive 

cavitation. 

 

Mechanical seal faces cracked, scratched, pitted or dirty. 

 

Ball bearings overgreased. 

MOTOR OVERLOAD 

 

Probable Cause 

 

 

Horsepower of motor not sufficient for application 

 

Improper wire size / wiring and/or voltage to motor. 

 

Misalignment in pump drive system. 

 

Bearing locknuts adjusted improperly. 

 

 Excessive 

viscosity, 

pressure or speed. 

 

Faulty or worn bearings. 

 

Rotor rubbing against head or liner. 

 

Dirty mechanical seal faces.
