Malfunction
Probable Causes
Corrective Action
8. Flame failure "Red Indicator Light
On". (Flame signal voltage below
j. Fuel piping broken, loose or
plugged.
j. See malfunction 6, step i.
2V DC) - Continued
k. Water in fuel.
k. Obtain fuel sample from fuel tank
drain and check for water. Drain and
refill fuel tank.
l. Excessive smoke.
l. Adjust air gate for proper air
combustion.
m. Flame safeguard contacts dirty.
m. See malfunction 2, step h.
n. Defective flame safeguard relay.
n. See service of flame safeguard and
replace safeguard.
o. Flame relay contact block
mechanically bound.
o. Inspect contact block, if cocked on
guides, free block to open and close
freely.
9. Low nozzle pressure at gun or guns.
a. Inadequate water supply.
a. See malfunction 4.
b. Improper nozzle size on gun or guns
for desired operational mode.
b. Inspect nozzles. Refer to operating
instructions for correct nozzle size for
desired operational mode.
c. Pump by-pass selector valve open
on two gun, high pressure or 600 gph
operational modes.
c. Observe position of selector valve.
Close
valve
on
two-gun,
high
pressure or 600 gph operational
modes.
d. Worn vapor or rinse nozzles.
d. Remove and inspect nozzles, replace
as necessary.
e. Soap agitator valve open.
e. Observe valve position, close valve.
f. Pump by-pass valve setting too low
or valve leaking.
f. Turn valve adjusting screw clock-
wise to increase pressure. Use coil
outlet gage to set relieving pressure.
Valve should be set at 370 psi.
Excess pressure switch must be
jumped to set valve, as it opens at
350 psi and will shut down pump. Set
valve to proper relieving pressure.
Remove
and
disassemble
valve.
Inspect valve, seat and O-ring for
any foreign materials or damage.
Repair or replace valve parts as
necessary.
g. Worn check valves, springs or cups
in water pump.
g. Remove pump head assembly and
valve
assembly.
Inspect
valves,
springs and cups for wear or damage.
Replace parts as necessary.
h. Faulty bearings or loose connecting
rod in pump.
h. Pump operates noisily. Remove
pump and disassemble. Inspect for
metal
shavings
in
crankcase.
Remove and inspect connecting rods.
Inspect bearings and race bearings
for damage or wear. Replace or repair
parts as necessary.
i. Coil outlet safety relief valve
leaking.
i. Water emitting from valve. Reset,
repair or replace valve as necessary.
Valve set to relieve at 400 psig.
j. Restriction in pump suction filter or
suction inlet line.
j. Clean intake filter and hoses or clear
restrictions.
10. Low operating temperature.
a. Improper thermostat setting.
a. Outlet temperature gage indicates
low
temperature.
Increase
tem-
perature by turning the thermostat
adjusting screw counterclockwise.
b. Inadequate oil supply to burner.
b. See malfunction 6.
c. Dirty or restricted burner nozzles.
c. See malfunction 9, step g.
d. Scale buildup in coil.
d. Remove cleaning gun nozzles and
conduct back pressure check. If
