What causes water leaking from the weep hole in the sealing head of KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus Cutter?
- S
  Shannon HinesSep 10, 2025
  Water leaking from the weep hole in the sealing head can be caused by: * The seat in the discharge check valve not sealing properly, so make sure the gland nut is tightened to the proper torque specification. * Improper torque on gland nut, so tighten the gland nut to the proper torque specification. * An internal crack in sealing head, so replace the sealing head. A cracked sealing head can result in water leaking from the high pressure outlet passages to the low pressure inlet passages. The sealing head body can become extremely hot.

What causes restricted or no cooling flow in KMT Cutter?
- R
  reneecastroSep 9, 2025
  Restricted or no cooling flow can be caused by: * Check cooling water flow to and from the heat exchanger. The water pressure differential across the heat exchanger requires a minimum of 35 psi (2.4 bar) for flow through the exchanger. * A water modulating valve that is stuck or out of adjustment, so replace the valve. * Adjust the valve.

What causes erratic pressure fluctuations in the KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus Cutter?
- N
  Nancy JohnsonSep 5, 2025
  Erratic fluctuations in operating pressure, or the inability to reach or maintain set pressure, can occur if the screen in the proportional pressure valve is blocked with debris. Remove the valve and clean the screen.

Why is there no hydraulic oil pressure in my KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus?
- R
  richardsonbrittanySep 4, 2025
  If there is no hydraulic oil pressure, it may be because: * The high and low limit compensators on the hydraulic pump are blocked with debris and are not controlling the swashplate. Disassemble the compensators, clean and inspect the components. * Incorrect motor rotation, so check the motor rotation.

What to do if the KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus Cutter pump shaft will not turn?
- V
  veronica46Sep 3, 2025
  If the pump shaft will not turn, it could be due to: * The flexible coupling has failed, so replace the flexible coupling. * The hydraulic pump has seized, so replace the hydraulic pump.

What causes low cutting water pressure in KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus Cutter?
- M
  Meghan LeeSep 2, 2025
  Low cutting water pressure can be caused by: * Low hydraulic pressure setting, so if operating in low pressure, switch to high pressure operation and check the hydraulic pressure setting. This is not applicable when the machine is equipped with the optional proportional pressure control. * Clean the high pressure adjustment valve. * Clean the compensators on the hydraulic pump. * Collapsed element in the high pressure line filter, so check the element in the high pressure line filter.

What causes abnormal fluctuations in high pressure water signal in KMT Streamline SL-V 30 Plus?
- M
  Michelle JohnsonSep 1, 2025
  Abnormal fluctuations in the high-pressure water signal can be caused by: * A large, worn, or damaged orifice, so make sure the orifice does not exceed the capacity of the pump and is in good working condition; verify that the jewel is installed in the orifice mount. * Check valve leakage, so inspect the discharge check valves in the sealing heads. * Seal leakage, so inspect the high pressure seal on the plunger. * Hydraulic control malfunction, so check the operation of the hydraulic relief valve.

Why is the hydraulic pressure present but there is no high pressure water pressure in my KMT Cutter?
- H
  harringtonshaunAug 31, 2025
  If you have hydraulic pressure but no high-pressure water pressure, it could be due to: * Proximity switch failure: From the Maintenance Screen on the control panel, jog the intensifier left and right and verify that the red light comes on at both proximity switches. * I/O relay failure: From the Maintenance Screen on the control panel, jog the intensifier left and right and verify that the green light comes on at both directional valve solenoids. * Coil failure on the directional control valve: Check the coils on the directional valve with a volt meter to verify if they are good or bad. * PLC failure: If there are inputs from the proximity switches, but no outputs, contact the KMT Customer Service Department for a logic review and verification of PLC failure.
