Solution
1 Adjust packing screw assembly (6)
2 Inspect air motor and rebuild or
replace as necessary
3 Rebuild pump tube
4 Increase air pressure
1 Reduce air pressure
2 See Internal leaks
1 Replenish product
1 Operate the pump against moderate fluid
pressure for up to one hour
2 See Internal leaks
3 See External leaks
4 Correct leak
1 Use kit 393426-1
2 Tighten cylinder (19) into body (11)
1 Adjust packing screw assembly (6)
2 Use kit 393426-1
3 Replace piston rod (5)
1 Use kit 393426-1
2 Tighten valve body (22) onto cylinder (19)
1 Locate and eliminate source of foreign material
2 Disassemble pump tube, clean, inspect, and
replace worn or damaged components
