cleaned at least once a year.
1.
Remove vent/fill plug from reservoir. Tip the pump until all old
oil has drained out.
2.
DISPOSE OF USED OIL PROPERLY.
3.
You will need to remove the yellow shroud to get at the screws
that hold the pump to the reservoir. Use an Allen wrench to
remove the six screws securing shroud to the reservoir.
4.
Disconnect wire(s) from solenoid valve. Mark wires before
disconnecting them from the 4-way valve.
5.
Lift shroud from reservoir. DO NOT remove the foam
insulation. Use care to avoid damaging wires or pulling wire
connections off terminals.
6.
Remove 8 screws holding pump to reservoir.
7.
Lift pump from reservoir using care to avoid damaging pick-up
screens.
8.
Remove gasket and discard.
9.
Thoroughly clean the reservoir with solvent. Never use water.
10. Use a soft bristle brush to clean intake screens. Rinse with
solvent.
11. Install a new gasket.
12. Position the coverplate on the reservoir. Make certain that the
gasket is visible all the way around the coverplate.
13. Secure pump to reservoir.
14. Place shroud over motor with shroud handle facing valve side
of pump.
15. Install the six mounting screws.
16. Reconnect wire(s) to solenoid valve.
17. Before reinstalling the heat exchanger, use compressed air to
blow dirt out of the heat exchanger.

If your pump requires repair work, contact your Authorized
Enerpac Service Center.
Symptom
Motor current draw is excessive.
Noisy pump operation.
Pump fails to maintain pressure.
Low oil output.
Pump builds pressure slowly
or erratically.
Pump is overheating.
Possible Cause
1. Defective motor.
2. By-pass valve malfunction.
3. Damaged or worn piston blocks.
1. Piston block piston sticking. Springs or
balls damaged.
1. Oil leaking from one or more
components within the reservoir.
1. Pump component parts leaking.
2. By-pass valve may be malfunctioning.
3. Oil intake screens on piston blocks may
be clogged with debris.
4. Low oil level.
1. Internal leakage in valve.
1. Nylon tubing to heat exchanger is
disconnected
2. Thermostat malfunctions
Solution
1. Remove the motor. Test and replace if necessary.
2. Inspect and test the by-pass valve if required. Valve is preset. If
damaged or incorrectly set, replace.
3. Test and inspect the piston blocks. Replace if necessary.
1. Remove the piston blocks. Inspect and replace as required. Each
piston block is non-serviceable.
1. Remove the pump from the reservoir and perform the back
pressure test. Contact Enerpac for test procedure.
1. Perform the back pressure test to isolate leaks.
2. Test and inspect by-pass valve. Replace and set if necessary.
3. Inspect intake screens. Flush all components of contamination.
Replace damaged components.
