TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Pump speed too low.
2.
Suction valves not fully open.
3.
Air leaks in the suction line.
4.
Excessive restriction in the suction line (i.e.: undersized piping, too many elbows &
fittings, clogged strainer, etc.).
5.
Damaged or worn parts.
6.
Excessive restriction in discharge line causing partial flow through the relief valve.
7.
Relief Valve worn, set too low, or not seating properly.
8.
Vanes installed incorrectly (see "Vane Replacement").
1.
Excessive vacuum on the pump due to:
a.
Undersized or restricted fittings in the suction line.
b.
Pump speed too fast for the viscosity or volatility of the liquid.
c.
Pump too far from fluid source.
2.
Running the pump for extended periods with a closed discharge line.
3.
Pump not securely mounted.
4.
Improper drive line (see "Pump Drive").
5.
Bearings worn or damaged.
6.
Vibration from improperly anchored piping.
7.
Bent shaft, or drive coupling misaligned.
8.
Excessively worn rotor.
