Remedy
Components in the system
connected to the suction and
pressure sides, such as hoses,
valves or filters, are causing too
much resistance
Modify installation, check the cross-sections of components
Hose connections are not leak-
tight
Secure transition joints between hose and hose connector
with clamps or clamping elements
Particles in the pump
Clean the pump head; install suction-side filter if required
(Spare Parts and Accessories), (see Chapter 8.2).
Viscosity of the transferred
medium is too high
Contact KNF
Incorrect interchange of pres-
sure and suction line connec-
tions
Remove pressure and suction lines and reconnect correctly
The pump parts are not re-
sistant to the medium to be
transferred
Replace the pump head with a compatible version
