excessive temperature
Replace worn parts
Reduce temperatures by lowering
differential pressure
Excessive operating
temperatures
Pressure differential too high Reduce pressure across booster by
lowering cut in pressure
Check blank-off pressure of
forepump, and system for leaks
Lack of volume
Worn clearances
Reduced speed
Reestablish clearance
Check motor
Abnormal bearing and
gear wear
Inadequate lubrication
Maintain correct oil levels.
Improve oil change frequencies
