TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLE
The pump does not reach “blank-off” pressure
or takes too long to evacuate the system.
Possible cause : Contaminated oil is the most
common cause of not reaching ultimate pressure.
Remedy : Shut off the pump, after the operating
temperature has been reached, drain the warm oil
from the pump. Flush and fill the pump with new oil
and take a new “blank off” measurement after oper-
ating temperature is reached (20-30 minutes).
Possible cause : Solenoid valve not opening
properly or inoperative..
Remedy: Check and clean valve or replace coil.
Possible cause : Loose intake flange or head bolts
Remedy : Tighten bolts
Possible cause : No oil or not enough oil in the oil
reservoir.

or if oil seems contaminated, drain the balance of
the oil from the pump, exchange oil filter and refill
with fresh oil. Flush if necessary.
