Why working pressure cannot be achieved by ARAG Control Unit?
- T
  Tammy OneillAug 12, 2025
  If the working pressure cannot be achieved, it may be due to several reasons: * The main valve motor might be malfunctioning; in this case, check the electric connection. * The inlet and outlet tubes might not be connected correctly; check their connections. * The maximum pressure valve could be fully loosened; adjust it. * The self-cleaning filter drain might be fully open; tighten its knob. * The delivery or suction filter might be clogged; clean the respective filter cartridge. * There might be insufficient liquid delivery to the control unit; check the pump rate, increase pump RPM, or check for open branches or drain outlets upstream of the control unit. * The proportional valve may be fully open; operate the pressure control switch to close it.

What to do if pressure gauge reading higher than actual pressure in ARAG 871 Control Unit?
- W
  webbrachelAug 16, 2025
  If the pressure gauge reading is higher than the actual pressure, it could be due to: * A malfunctioning pressure gauge; in this case, change the pressure gauge. * A squashed gasket inside the pressure gauge partially obstructing the passage; slightly loosen the pressure gauge. * Undersized passages across the valve and nozzle, leading to a significant pressure drop; choose section valve tubes and hose tails of the correct size.

What to do if pressure cannot be reduced by ARAG Control Unit?
- T
  Tracey HarrisonAug 20, 2025
  If the pressure cannot be reduced, it may be because: * The proportional valve motor is not working; check the electric connection. * The proportional valve drain passage is clogged; clean the drain passage. * A hydraulic agitator is connected to the drain passage of the proportional valve; remove the hydraulic agitator and leave the hole open. * The drain tube of the proportional valve is undersized; change the drain tube. * The proportional valve flow rate is lower than the desired rate setting; change the proportional valve.

What to do if liquid coming out of section valves when main valve is closed in ARAG Control Unit?
- S
  Steven TorresAug 25, 2025
  If liquid is coming out of the section valves when the main valve is closed, it could be due to: * An obstructed drain passage of the main valve; clean the drain passage. * A hydraulic agitator connected to the drain passage of the proportional valve; remove the hydraulic agitator and leave the hole open. * An undersized drain tube of the proportional valve; change the drain tube. * Chemical residue on gaskets and the seat of the main valve hose tail; clean the parts with a suitable detergent.

Why adjustment inaccurate in ARAG 871?
- M
  Mr. Nathan ArnoldAug 27, 2025
  If the adjustment is inaccurate, with minor movements of the switch leading to significant changes in pressure, it could be because: * The proportional valve is not correctly sized for the system; change the proportional valve. * There is insufficient liquid delivery to the control unit; check the pump rate, increase pump RPM, or check for open branches or drain outlets upstream of the control unit.

What causes large amount of pressure fluctuation when one or two sections are closed in ARAG Control Unit?
- K
  Kayla CohenAug 31, 2025
  A large amount of pressure fluctuation when one or two sections are closed may be caused by unadjusted metered by-passes. To solve this, adjust the metered by-passes.

What to do if pressure sensor reading higher than actual pressure in ARAG Control Unit?
- K
  kellyguerreroSep 3, 2025
  If the pressure sensor reading is higher than the actual pressure, it could be because: * The sensor is malfunctioning; change the data settings in the computer, and if the problem persists, change the sensor. * The passages across the valve and nozzle are undersized, leading to a significant pressure drop; choose section valve tubes and hose tails of the correct size.

Why one or more sections not closing correctly in ARAG Control Unit?
- S
  Susan MarshSep 7, 2025
  If one or more sections are not closing correctly, it could be due to: * The section valve motor not working; check the electric connection. * The section valve plug gasket being worn out; change worn gaskets. * Chemical residue on the gasket and seat of the section valve hose tail; clean the parts with a suitable detergent.
