TROUBLESHOOTING
A system failure may or may not be the result of a pump malfunction. The following information is intended to be used as an
aid in determining if a problem exist.
Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action
Erratic Ram Performance
• Air in system or pump cavitation
• External leak
• Internal hydraulic leak
• Follow pump instructions for bleeding air
• Tighten all connections
• Contact Service Center
Pump or ram fails to maintain
pressure
• Overload condition
• External leak
• Internal hydraulic leak
• Ram seals leaking
• Pump or valve malfunctioning
• Remedy overload condition
• Tighten all connections
• Contact Service Center
• Contact Service Center
• Check pump operating instructions
Ram extends partially
• Hydraulic oil level too low in pump
• Load is above the capacity of system
• Ram is sticking or binding
• Fill and bleed the system
• Match the capacity to application
• Contact Service Center
Slow ram movement
• Loose connection or coupler
• Restricted hydraulic line or fitting
• Pump not working correctly
• Ram seals leaking
• Tighten connection or coupler
• Clean and replace if damaged
• Check pump operating instructions
• Replace cylinder
Ram leaks hydraulic fluid • Worn or damaged seals • Contact Service Center
Ram will not retract or retracts
slower than normal
• Linkage binding
• Loose couplers
• Malfunctioning coupler
• Weak or broken retraction springs
• Ram damaged internally
• Pump reservoir too full
• Lubricate all moving parts
• Tighten couplers
• Depressurize pump and hose, remove ap-
plication, then replace a new coupler
• Contact Service Center
• Contact Service Center
• Drain hydraulic fluid to correct level
Motor will not start (for Model
IEP5506, IEP5513, IEPD5513,
IEP10010, IEPD10010, & IE-
PDS10010) • No power or wrong voltage
• Damaged power cord
• Tripped circuit breaker
• Loose or faulty wiring
• Check the power supply & voltage
• Contact Customer Service
• Make sure breaker is of adequate size
• Contact Customer Service
Motor cuts out (for Model
IEP5506, IEP5513, IEPD5513,
IEP10010, IEPD10010 &
IEPDS10010) • Extension cord too long
• Faulty motor
• Overheated motor can trip circuit breaker
• Replace with shorter cord
• Replace or repair
• Allow motor to cool, reset circuit breaker
MAINTENANCE
Please refer to cylinder and pump’s manuals for maintenance and how to add/change hydraulic oil. For best results, change the
oil once a year. Use only good quality hydraulic oil. Mobil DTE13M or equivalent is recommended for manual and air pumps, BVA
hydraulic oil or equivalent for electric pump.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure assemblies move freely.
Storage
Depressurize the hydraulic system, disconnect the hydraulic hose and lower the bed frame to lowest position. Disconnect
both hoses on the IEPD5513, IEPD10010 & IEPDS10010 Double Acting Shop Presses.
