pump head or with the Servopress -
regulation the overflow valve opens and
part of the water flows back to the pump
suck side.

the whole water flows back to the pump
suck side, the pressure switch at the
overflow valve shuts down the pump.

pressure switch on the cylinder head
turns the pump back on.
The overflow valve is set by the manufac-
turer and sealed. Setting only by customer
service.

flow valve resp. the pressure switch is
broken.
