HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
1. The pump will not come up to normal cleaning pressure
Possible Cause Solution
1.1. The pressure
adjusting valve is faulty.
Inspect the valve. Repair or replace if necessary.
1.2. Worn seals or valves
in the pump.
Test the pump output volume directly from the pump
at normal running rpm. If the volume is below the
manufacturer's specications, replace the seals and inspect
for defective valves.

2.5. Temperature controller
not working properly
Test controller per the HM RTD Sensor Simulator eld
procedure (164-028)
2.6. Potentiometer not
working properly
Test potentiometer per the HM RTD Sensor Simulator
eld procedure (164-028)
3. No pressure reading on gauge
Possible Cause Solution
