3.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTION
3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
Important: at all times when troubleshooting
refer to the corresponding sections.
Insufficient packing ratio 1. Low oil pressure 1. Check if oil pressure at relief
valve is 2500 PSI or Faulty
hydraulic pump (cavitation or
wear).
2. See section 3.22. The packer hydraulic cylinders
are internally by-passing
3. Wrong method of loading waste
or type of waste
3. See Operator Manual)
PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSES REMEDY
5. Clean the suction strainer,
replace the return filter and
change oil.
4. Add oil to required level
3. Hydraulic pressure is too high
4. Oil level in reservoir too low
5. Contaminated oil
3. Set the pressure at the relief valve
to 2500 PSI
2. See section 2.0 for proper oil
to use.
2. NOT THE PROPER GRADE OF
OIL. ie. :Too thin in hot
temperatures or too thick in cold
temperatures.
1. Faulty pump or faultyrelief valveHydraulic oil is over heating(more
than 77°C, + or - 4°C,180°For
more,+ or - 10°F.)
1. When the hydraulic oil is cooled
off, turn on hydraulic system and
work the packer for 2 or 3
minutes.Then touch the pump
and relief valve. If they are faulty,
they will be much hotter than the
other components on the
hydraulic system.
Oil foaming 1. Air getting into the system
3. Low oil level 3. Refill the reservoir
2. Empty oil and refill with anti-
foam
1. Tighten the connections through
the hose between the pump and
the reservoir
2. Not the proper grade of oil
