Troubleshooting  

The following table shows some typical problems and the remedies. 

Note: If assistance is required in determining or correcting the fault with the machine then contact our service department. 

1. 

Check Blade Wear

 

When carrying out any maintenance and inspections always follow the health and 
safety guidelines on page 4. Fully trained and competent staff must carry out any 

maintenance work. 
 

1.1

 

Carry out the following procedure after the first 2,000 running hours 
and repeat every 5,000-hour interval. Record all measurements. 

1.2

 

With the pump stationary and with the system drained, remove the 
eyebolt or plug in the top of the machine cylinder and insert into the 

hole beneath a pointed measuring rod 6mm dia x 150mm long until 
contact is made with the rotor (see fig. 8). Scribe a mark on the rod. 

Slowly rotate the shaft by hand until the rod drops onto the tip of the 
blade, scribe a second mark on the rod. Measure the amount of 

movement and renew the blades if this exceeds 6mm. Replace the plug 
or eyebolt.
