How to troubleshoot a decrease in power or operating speed in Zoeller Industrial Equipment?
K
Kelsey DrakeAug 20, 2025
If you notice a decrease in power or operating speed, several factors could be the cause. First, verify the engine speed, ensuring one loading cycle lasts approximately 22 seconds. Next, check the hydraulic oil tank level and top up the oil to the recommended level if it's too low. Also, inspect the oil for excessive foam. If foam is present, consider using the recommended oil type, changing the oil, and replacing seals. Check connections and tighten them if necessary.

Why is my Zoeller MEDIUM X2 hydraulic installation making loud noises?
C
Christy WilsonAug 22, 2025
Loud noises in the hydraulic installation can stem from several issues. Start by checking the oil level with retracted cylinders and top up if necessary. Air or water in the hydraulic oil can also cause noise, so bleed the system or replace the oil if needed. Inspect the suction hose in the tank for leaks, tightening screw connections or replacing the hose if necessary. Finally, check for vibrating hoses and tighten the fastening clamps, using appropriate washers like rubber if needed.

If the hydraulic oil is overheating, it could be due to a damaged hydraulic pump, which should be replaced by a service center. Another potential cause is using the wrong type of oil or old oil. In this case, check the oil viscosity and purity, and replace it if necessary.

William GonzalesAug 28, 2025
A slow-moving compaction mechanism can arise from several causes. It could be due to a damaged hydraulic pump, which should be replaced by a service center. Check for leaks in the hydraulic system and ensure the hydraulic components are tight. Verify that you're using the correct oil type and that the oil is not old; replace it if necessary. If the installation is too cold, bring it to operating temperature.

Jason Snyder DVMAug 29, 2025
Hydraulic oil leaks from the tank can occur due to several reasons. Check for a loose closing plug or a damaged seal and tighten the plug or change the seal accordingly. Also, inspect the ventilation filter to ensure it is tight. Finally, verify that the oil level is not too high by checking it with retracted cylinders and drain some oil if necessary.

Why is hydraulic oil leaking from the valves in my Zoeller MEDIUM X2?
J

What to do if the compaction mechanism on my Zoeller MEDIUM X2 Industrial Equipment stops at one of the 4 end positions in automatic or semi-automatic mode?
C
Cindy GibsonSep 6, 2025
If the compaction mechanism stops at one of the four end positions, start by cleaning the limit switches and check for a short to ground. Also, check the LEDs in the control box. If the issue persists, the electronic control system may be defective and require replacement.
