    This troubleshooting guide provides potential causes and recommended corrective actions for common issues with pumps: 1. Pump will not start issues may be due to power being off, a damaged coupling or loose set screw, or the pump being too cold. Corrective actions include checking switches and fuses, examining the coupling, and draining and refilling with warm oil. 2. Pumps that do not reach ultimate pressure may be contaminated, low on oil, have the wrong oil, or have a vacuum system leak. Recommended actions involve flushing and changing the oil, adding more oil, using the recommended oil type, and locating leaks. 3. Noisy pumps could be due to restricted intake/ex
