COD. 193553058 - v.2 - UPD 060404
PROBLEM
Pump cannot be started
Pump stops working under load
Pump operates but no pressurized oil is
delivered
Pump fails to reach maximum pressure
Pump delivers pressurized oil but load
is not lifted
Piston retracts although treadle is not
pressed on RELEASE side
Piston fails to perform retract stroke
(single acting cylinder)
Piston fails to perform retract stroke
(double acting cylinder)
Pump flow rate insufficient
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Compressed air line closed or clogged
Insufficient air pressure
Air filter dirty or clogged
Oil leak in the main hydraulic circuit
Pump internal leak
Low oil level
Insufficient air pressure
Internal relief valve incorrectly set
Oil leak in the main hydraulic circuit
Excess load
Oil circulation fault
Oil leak in the main hydraulic circuit
Pump internal fault
Oil pressure line obstructed or coupling
incorrectly connected
If piston is designed to return under gravity,
ensure load is sufficient.
Cylinder spring broken
Cylinder release valve not working
Oil pressure line obstructed or coupling
incorrectly connected
Cylinder release valve not working
Insufficient air pressure
Air filter dirty or clogged
Reservoir breather plug or screw not
opened
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check compressed air supply to pump
Check compressed air supply to pump
is between 2.8 and 10 bar
Clean or renew
Check the circuit for leaks and repair
as necessary
Check for leaks and return pump to
manufacturer for repair
Check level and top up as necessary
Check compressed air supply to pump
is between 2.8 and 10 bar
Contact manufacturer
Check the circuit for leaks and repair
as necessary
Reduce
Check if pipelines are obstructed or if
cylinder is working correctly
Check the circuit for leaks and repair
as necessary
Check for leaks and ask the
manufacturer
Check oil pressure line
Increase load on cylinder
Repair
Repair cylinder
Check oil pressure line
Repair cylinder
Check compressed air supply to pump
is between 2.8 and 10 bar
Clean or renew
Open breather plug or screw as
described in chapter 5, page 15.
