If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem. When diagnosing faults in operation of the tool, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic flow and pressure to the tool as listed in the table. Use a flowmeter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80°F/27°C. PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION TROUBLE SHOOTING Tool doesn’t run. Power unit not functioning.

Check hydraulic system for excessive backpressure (over 250 psi). Couplers or hoses blocked. Remove obstruction. Orifice plug blocked. Remove restriction. Oil too hot (above 140°F) Check power unit for proper oil or cold (below 60°). temperature. Bypass cooler to warm oil up, or provide cooler to maintain proper temperature. Relief valve set too low. Adjust relief valve to 2100-2250 psi. Tool gets hot. Hot oil going through tool. Check power unit. Be sure flow rate is not too high causing part of the oil to go through the relief valve. Provide cooler to maintain proper oil temperature (under 140°F). Check relief valve setting. Oil leakage on drill steel. Lower piston or drive hex Replace seals. seal failure.
