If the pump operation becomes unstable or trouble is caused to its oil discharge during operation, make a
check according to the following procedure.
Symptom Cause Contents of inspection and corrective measures
The pump cannot
be operated.
Check if the air
regulator is normally
operated.
Check if the valve on
the outlet on the pump
side is not closed.
Remove the lower pump
and operate the air
motor independently.
Check if the valve in
the course of piping is
not closed.
Clogging occurs in the
connecting hose, pipe,
outlet valve, or gun.
The lower pump is
faulty.
The packing seal of the
air motor is worn away.
Ask for servicing the
lower pump
The pump is
continuously
operated without

its connecting portion.
The valve of the lower
pump or the packing is
worn away.
The pump can be
operated but oil is
not fed by pressure.
The pump can be
operated but the
discharge volume is
insufficient.
Check oil is included in
the container.
Check if the supply air
pressure is not lowered.
Check and re-supply, or
replace.
The air supply
volume to the pump
is insufficient.
Replace the air hose
