Excessive Noise
You hear a loud excessive noise coming from your system. Upon investigation you find damaged motor parts that were due to a coupling misalignment. What corrective measure should you take?
Align motor with driven equipment
Examine bearings, seals, and the coupling.
Your temperatures are through the roof, displaying that you have excessive heat in your system. Your fluids temperature has risen and you discovered the systems pressure is to high. What is a corrective measure you can take?
Decrease relief valves setting
You are in a situation where you have no flow. You have discovered that your pump is not receiving fluid. what is a correction for this?
Replace dirty filters
Clean Strainer and inlet line
Overhaul or replace drive motor
You have no pressure in your system and you have discovered that it is caused by no flow. What is a possible corrective action?
Replace dirty filters
Clean strainer and inlet line
Your actuator has no movement, caused by no flow or pressure. How do you correct?
Replace dirty filters
Clean strainer + Inlet line
A large excessive noise is coming from your system. Upon investigation you discover that the relief valve is making the noise and its caused by a worn poppet and seat. What corrective measure can you take?
Overhaul or replace component
You have discovered excessive heat in your system. Upon investigation you find that there is excessive load on the pump and/or motor caused by a worn bearing. What is a corrective measure you can take?
Replace the bearings and seals
You have a low flow rate in your system. After investigation you have discovered that the flow control is set to low. What is a corrective action you can make?
Adjust the flow control valve
You are experiencing a low pressure situation in your system, you have discovered that it is a pressure reducing valve that is damaged. What corrective action should you take?
Overhaul or replace valve.
Your actuator has excessive speed or movement, causing a runaway or overhauling situation. What is a possible corrective measure?
Adjust, repair or replace counterbalance valve
You hear an excessive noise coming from your system. You discover that it is damaged pump parts that are work out due to extended use. What corrective measure will you take?
Overhaul Pump
You have excessive heat in your system and your fluid temperatures are rising quickly. Upon investigation you discover that the fluid viscosity is incorrect. What corrective measure do you take?
Change filters and check fluid viscosity
change if necessary

Clean inlet strainer
You have a low flow rate. After having a look around you find that the pump speed is incorrect. What is a corrective action you can take?
determine the correct speed and adjust
You are experiencing excessive pressure in your system, upon investigation you have discovered that the pressure reducing, relief, or unloading valve was misadjusted. What corrective action will you take?
Adjust to the correct setting
Your actuator has very slow movement. You have discovered that it is a worn or damaged actuator. What is a corrective action you can take?
Overhaul or replace actuator
You have excessive noise being caused by air in the fluid. Upon investigation you discover that the fluid level is too low. What corrective measure are you going to take?
fill reservoir to proper level
