Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
1. Cavitation
Symptoms of cavitation:
• rough running pump
• excessive pump noise
•
low fluid volume"
• excessive pressure
drop
• premature failure of
the valve assembly,
diaphragm, or
bearing"
Trapped air in pump or
system
Purge air from the pump or eliminate system air traps. Refer to
Operation.
Clogged inlet strainer or
supply filter
Clean the inlet strainer or the supply filter.
Collapsed, damaged, or
clogged pump supply
line
Inspect the supply line for damage, leaks, or blockages. Clear
the blockage or replace the inlet line.
Pump supply line too
small or too long
When siphon feeding, the supply line must be properly sized and
as short as possible. Use the 5 ft siphon hose shipped with the
system.
Air leak in pump supply
line
Inspect the supply hose, piping and fittings. Tighten the
connections.
Fittings and/or valves too
close to pump inlet
Move any supply line fittings and valves a minimum of 1.5 m (5 ft)
from the pump inlet.
Low or empty supply
Refill the fluid supply.
Air entrained in fluid
supply
Check the supply tank. If an agitator is used, adjust the speed.
Coating material too hot
Reduce the temperature.
Coating material too
viscous
Check the viscosity.
Coating material
vaporizing
Pressurize the fluid supply.
2. Pump runs rough
Cavitation
Refer to problem 1.
Oil level low
Check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
Foreign material in inlet
or outlet check valves
Disassemble and clean the check valves.
Worn check valves
Replace the check valves.
Damaged diaphragm
cartridges
Replace the diaphragm cartridges.
Broken piston return
spring
Replace the piston assembly.
Piston assemblies not
primed
Refer to the
EP2 Three-Piston Pump
manual.
Worn bearings
Disassemble the oil-filled section and inspect the bearings. Refer
to the
EP2 Three-Piston Pump
manual.
