TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Potential Cause(s) Recommendation(s)
Pump cycles once 1 Incorrect pilot o-ring placement 1 Reinstall pilot o-rings in correct positions
2 Inner diaphragm plate installed backwards 2 Reinstall inner diaphragm plate correctly
3 Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds 3 Check system for pressure ratio to pump
air supply pressure) 4 Install gaskets with holes properly aligned
4 Air valve or center block gaskets installed incorrectly
Pump will not operate 1 Pump is over lubricated 1 Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove
2 Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM) • Elima-Matic is designed for lube free operation
3 Worn o-rings 2 Check the air line size and length, compressor
4 Wrong type of lubrication (attack on o-rings) capacity (HP vs. cfm required)
5 Debris in air valve 3 Replace o-rings
6 Clogged manifolds 4 Check compatibility of o-rings with lubrication
7 Incorrect o-ring placement 5 Clean air valve/filter
8 Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds 6 Clean suction or discharge manifolds/piping
air supply pressure) 7 Reinstall o-rings in correct position
8 Increase air supply pressure
Pump cycles and will not 1 Cavitation on suction side 1 Check suction condition (move pump closer to product)
prime or flow 2 Valve ball(s) not seating properly or sticking 2 Clean out around valve ball cage and valve seat area
3 Valve ball(s) missing (pushed into chamber) • Replace valve ball or valve seat if damaged
4 Valve ball(s)/seat(s) damaged or attacked by product • Use heavier valve ball material
5 Clogged suction line 3 Worn valve ball or valve seat
• Worn fingers in valve ball cage (replace part)
4 Check Chemical Resistance Guide for compatibility
5 Clean suction manifold and/or piping
Pump running 1 Over lubrication 1 Set lubricator on lowest possible setting or remove
sluggish/stalling 2 Icing • Elima-Matic is designed for lube free operation
3 Clogged manifolds 2 Clean or replace exhaust muffler
4 Deadhead (system pressure meets or exceeds 3 Clean manifolds to allow proper air flow
air supply pressure) 4 Check system to locate deadhead (equilibrium)
5 Cavitation on suction side • Increase air supply pressure
6 Lack of air (line size, PSI, CFM) 5 Check suction (move pump closer to product)
6 Check the air line size, length, compressor capacity
Product leaking through 1 Diaphragm failure, or diaphragm plates loose 1 Replace diaphragms, check for damage and ensure
exhaust 2 Diaphragm stretched around center hole or bolt holes diaphragm plates are tight
3 Excessive air supply pressure 2 Check for excessive inlet pressure or air pressure
• Tighten bolts to recommended torque
3 Check Operating Manual for recommendations
