Troubleshooting Hints For All Types Of Pumps - Part 1
By R Allen – Published 10/20/2008
Pump Not Delivering Fluid
- Insufficient fluid in reservoir
- Suction line or strainer clogged
- Air leaking into suction line preventing pump from priming
- Pump rotating too slowly
- Oil viscosity too high
- Oil lift too high, preventing pump from priming
- Improper pump rotation
- Sheared pump shaft or other broken internal pump parts
- Excessive contamination in pump
- Improper stroke adjustment on variable delivery pumps
Oil Accumulating Around Pump
- Worn shaft seal
- Head pressure on suction line causing oil to escape through loose or damaged connections
- Pump housing bolts improperly torqued or loose
- Case drain line restricted or too small causing shaft seal to leak (excessive case pressure)
- Pump housing cracked from being struck or over-pressurized
- Leaking pressure line or connection
