Troubleshooting
1. Relieve the pressure, page 9.
2. Check all possible causes and problems before dis-
assembling the pump.
* To determine if the fluid hose or gun is obstructed, relieve the pressure, page 9. Disconnect the fluid hose and
place a container at the pump fluid outlet to catch any fluid. Turn on the air power just enough to start the pump. If
the pump starts, the obstruction is in the fluid hose or gun.
