    7 - Fault finding Operational Problems General Info Operational incidents are often due to the same reasons: 1. A suction leakage reduces the pump pressure and may interrupt suction completely. 2. A clogged suction filter may damage suction or interrupt and prevent the pump from running normally. 3.

    7 - Fault finding Liquid System FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE CONTROL/REMEDY No spray from boom when turned on. SmartValve positions are wrong. Set correct valve positions for spraying. Suction/pressure filters are clogged. Clean suction and pressure filters. No suction from tank. See if suction fitting in main tank sump is free of sedimentation.

    7 - Fault finding Hydraulic System, Y-boom version FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE CONTROL/REMEDY Boom slow/eradic. Air in system. Loosen ram connection and activate hydraulics until oil flow has no air in it (not whitish). Regulation valve incorrectly set. Open or close until desired speed is achieved (clockwise = less speed).
