Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEM 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

You Can Get Response From 
the Pump By Actuating All 
But One or Two Handles

Valve assembly switch con-
tacts are not properly 
adjusted

Locate the valve switch at the bottom 
of the valve assembly. Use a 3MM 
allen wrench to loosen the set screw 
on each of the five switch contacts. 
Press each contact to the valve block 
and tighten the contact set screw to 
secure in place. 

CAUTION! 

Do not 

overtighten! 

NOTE: 

Do not adjust the valve switch 

or switch spring; they have been preset 
at the factory.

Pump Motor Runs With Little 
Or No Response From The 
Cylinders

Low battery

Test battery. Recharge or replace as 
necessary

Low fluid level

Check fluid level.  Add an all-season 
hydraulic fluid such as Amoco Rycon 
Oil MV or Mobil Multipurpose ATF 
(automatic transmission fluid)
until level is 4 - 4 1/2" from bottom of 
reservoir with all cylinders retracted

Pressure relief valve moved 
from proper setting

Adjust pressure relief valve. 

Low air temperature causing 
fluid to thicken

Allow fluid to warm up. Synthetic fluids 
are available that allow for hydraulic 
operation in cold weather conditions 
(Univis HVI 13)

Pump Motor Runs Continu-
ously When Power Contact 
Is Made

Solenoid is stuck closed

Tapping the solenoid may solve this 
problem temporarily. Replace solenoid

Fluid Leaks From Around 
Cylinder Piston Ram

Worn seals

Replace seals in cylinder. Check piston 
ram for abrasive weld that may be 
causing premature seal failure

Fluid Leak Around Pump 
Box

Loose seal or fitting

Wipe pump off completely to locate 
cause of leak. You may have to unbolt 
the pump to wipe behind it. 

NOTE:

 

Movement of the sawmill can cause 
fluid to slosh up into the foam filter in 
the reservoir cap, and subsequently 
spray out, giving the appearance that 
fluid is leaking from the pump
