Trouble-shooting
Probable causes Indications and corrections
1. Complete absence of power take-o
revolution.
The machine shall be driven with the power take-o
(PTO) running at 540 rpm.
Visually check whether the pump is being driven.
2. Water missing on reservoir.
A minimum liquid is required for the chemical cir-
cuit operation; otherwise there will be no pressure.
3. Filter valve closed (quick shut-o)
Due to the quick shut-o valve construction char-
acteristic, liquid will ow even in the shut position
with the p ump operating; however, the circulation
of liquid will be insucient.
4. Dirty lter.
The dirty lter will prevent free uid ow.
Clean the lter at the time of every rell or more
frequently depending on the water quality and type
of chemical.
5. Obstruction in intake hoses.
Check the hose connecting the lter to the pump for
buckling.
Check for obstruction inside the hoses connecting
the reservoir to the lter. Fill the reservoir, open the
valve and check whether there is plenty of water
circulating.
6. Air intake.
Check the lter sealing ring.
The lter sealing must be correct, with no leaks.
7. Pump is not suctioning.
Remove the suction valve cover.
Check the repair condition of valves and, if neces-
sary, replace.
Probable causes Indications and corrections
1. Slack belts.
Incorrectly taut belts will not drive the pump prop-
erly.
2. Entry of air into the intake system.
Caused by a punctured hose, damaged lter sealing
ring, etc.
Check and mend liquid leaks if existing.
3. Pressure regulator.
Check the valve and valve seat to make sure of the
proper adjustment of these components.
