Symptom Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
Pump will Pump will not start (stalls) 1. Inadequate air supply (20 PSI Min.) 1. Increase air inlet pressure
2. Contaminated air supply 2. An air dryer might be required
3. Ruptured diaphragm (2) 3. Replace diaphragm (2)
4. Check shuttle valve for wear (11) 4. Replace shuttle valve if necessary (11)
Pump runs, but no fluid 1. A leak or break in the product inlet line 1. Replace product line
2. A leak or break in the product discharge line 2. Replace product line
Pump leaks through exhaust port 1. Leak at upper exhaust port o-ring (13) 1. Replace exhaust port (13)
2. Shaft seal o-rings damaged or worn 2. Replace shaft seal o-rings
3. Inadequate slide lubrication 3. Replace with shuttle valve kit
Flow rate is low 1. Tubing or hose is damaged or blocked 1. Clean or replace
2. Check viscosity of medium being pumped 2. Reduce viscosity of medium, increase
hose diameter or contact factory for
recommendation
3. Check valves not seated correctly (6) 3. Reinstall check valves (6)
Pump leaks 1. Ruptured or worn out diaphragm (2) 1. Replace diaphragm (2)
