CHAPTER 4 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Inspection & maintenance schedule Flow equipment has been designed for long service life. However, maximizing the life, safety, and efficiency of the equipment is dependent on daily inspections and regular maintenance. Periodic maintenance can take the form of regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, such as the items listed below.
If you have questions about anything on the trouble- shooting tables, contact FLOW Technical Service. Troubleshooting tips The following tips have been helpful in isolating system Using the troubleshooting table malfunctions and in correcting problems quickly.
Leaking auto bleed-down valve The valve is hot to the touch; rework or replace the valve. 3. Oil pressure and high-pressure water pressure are satisfactory, but water flow though the nozzle is low Flow restriction in the downstream 1. Inspect the high-pressure inline filter, if installed.

Servicing the Pump Servicing the hydraulic system Hydraulic oil pump A hydraulic pump generates hydraulic flow to operate the intensifier. The pump is connected directly to an electric motor by a flexible coupling. The pump does not need routine maintenance.
CHAPTER 5 Servicing the Pump Changing the hydraulic oil HyperJet 94i-S reservoir This is the accepted procedure for changing hydraulic oil. Your oil supplier can tell you how to properly dis- pose of used hydraulic oil. Service steps WARNING Place the main electrical disconnect in the OFF position and bleed down all high-pressure lines.
CHAPTER 5 Servicing the Pump Replacing the booster pump HyperJet 94i-S booster pump Service steps WARNING Place the main electrical disconnect in the OFF position and bleed down all high-pressure lines. Place an Out of Service tag on the main electrical disconnect and lock it out.
The shift valve directs the return Manifold body • flow of oil from the other end of the intensifier to the reservoir via the return port of the manifold at the same time. This section contains service procedures for these com- ponents.
If you have questions about the relief valve, contact FLOW Technical Service. 3. Use a 30 mm (or 1 -in.) socket and handle on the main body of the relief valve to unscrew it from the manifold.
