What to do if Parker Control Unit pump delivers full flow at low pressure but does not build up pressure?

If your Parker Control Unit pump delivers full flow at low pressure but doesn't build up pressure, there could be several reasons. The standard pressure compensator might be set to minimum pressure; adjust the compensator setting to the desired pressure. There might be no pressure pilot valve connected to port P . R; install a suitable pressure pilot valve and adjust it to the desired setting. If a multiple pressure pilot selector valve is not energized, the pump will work in stand-by; energize the selector valve solenoid. Finally, the differential pressure at the compensator might be improperly adjusted (too low); check the differential pressure adjustment and correct it.
