G. Faulty Pump
H. Oil temperature too cold.

2.Pump Noise Problem

A. Wrong Oil Grade.
B. Oil Temperature too High.
C. Low Oil Level.
D. Suction Stainer Dirty.
E. Air in Suction.
F. Oil foams
G. Faulty Pump.

3.High Oil Temperature

A. Low Oil Level.
B .Drain Cock not fully closed.
C. Accumulator Nitrogen pressure low or Zero.
D. High chuck Cylinder leakage.
E. Faulty pump.
F. Manifold may be faulty or internal leakage in manifold.

4.Chuck Clamping/De clamping Slow

A. Drain cock not fully closed.
B.Accumulator Nitrogen pressure low or Zero.
C. Faulty pump.
D. Direction Control valve faulty.

5.Chuck or Quill cylinder is not moving

A. Drain cock is not fully closed.
