Troubleshooting 
Insufficient Pump
Capacity, Dual-
Stage. Transfer valve not in
proper position for
operation, based on
capacity rating and
pressure. • Place transfer valve in VOLUME position (parallel) when pumping
more than 1/2 rated capacity.
• For pressure above 200 PSI (141379 kPa), pump should be
placed in PRESSURE (series) position.
• For operating procedures, review Section 4 “Basic Operation,”
beginning on page 53.
• For Transfer Valve test, review Section 4, heading “Transfer Valve
Test (Two-Stage Pumps Only),” beginning on page 73.
Insufficient Pres-
sure. Insufficient engine
power. • See previous heading “Insufficient Pump Capacity, Single Stage.”
on page 96.
Two-Stage Pump Only
-
Transfer valve not in
proper position for
operation, based on
capacity rating and
pressure.
• Two-Stage Pump Only -
• Place transfer valve in PRESSURE position (series) when pump-
ing pressures above 200 PSI (1379 kPa).
• For operating procedures, review Section 4 “Basic Operation,”
beginning on page 53.
• For Transfer Valve test, review Section 4, heading “Transfer Valve
Test (Two-Stage Pumps Only),” beginning on page 73.
Leak at Pump
Packing. Packing out of adjust-
ment or worn. • Readjust packing for 8 to 10 drops per minute leakage at 150 PSI
(1000 kPa).
• Packing replacement is recommended every two to three years,
depending on usage.
• See Section 4 Preventive Maintenance, heading “Packing Gland
Adjustment” on page 77.
Remote Control
Difficult to Oper-
ate. Lack of lubrication. • Lubricate the remote control linkages and collar with oil.
