Troubleshooting
If both sides of the intensifier are stroking too fast, is a leak visible?
Is the bleed-down valve hot?
Yes The high-pressure tubing or a fitting is leaking. Identify the source of a leak and correct the
problem.
A high-pressure water seal is worn or
damaged.
• Disassemble the intensifier.
• Examine the parts. Look for flaws,
deterioration, erosion marks, corrosion, or
cracks.
• Make sure that the mating surfaces are
smooth and clean.
• If damage is found, replace the component.
The bleed-down valve is leaking or has failed. Repair or replace the bleed-down valve.
The needle and the seat in the cutting head are
leaking.
The on/off valve has failed.
The cutting head has failed.
• Examine the parts. Look for flaws,
deterioration, erosion marks, corrosion, or
cracks.
• Make sure that the mating surfaces are
smooth and clean.
• If damage is found, replace the component.
No The orifice is worn, has failed, or is incorrectly
installed.
A worn or damaged orifice can increase the
demand for high-pressure water from the
intensifier.
Replace the orifice.
The orifice is the wrong size.
Yes The bleed-down valve has failed. Repair or replace the bleed-down valve.
The bleed-down valve is not getting air. • Make sure that the compressed air source
is on.
• Make sure that the compressed air hose is
not damaged.
• Make sure that the compressed air hose is
connected correctly.
No The postfilter water-pressure gauge shows that
the low-pressure water is lower
than2.8bar(280kPa/40psi).
Replace the water filter if the difference
between the values on the prefilter
water-pressure gauge and the postfilter
water-pressure gauge is lower
than0.7bar(70kPa/10psi).
The prefilter water-pressure gauge shows that
the low-pressure water is lower
than2.8bar(280kPa/40psi).
• Make sure that the water to the pump is on.
• Make sure that the low-pressure water line
is connected to the intensifier.
• If the pump has a boost pump, examine the
water filter. If the filter is black, the boost
pump has failed and must be replaced.

Low water pressure can cause an
overstroke without triggering the
low-pressure alarm for the low-pressure
water.
