9. Troubleshooting guide
As high pressure oil and hydraulics constitute a potential safety risk, disconnect the air
supply hose before removing any parts from the THAP...E.
9.1 Air motor
If the air motor stalls or stops:
•
Make sure that the air connection is properly
mounted.
•
Make sure that the air valve is open.
•
Remove the breather plug from the air motor.
Use a pair of pliers to check that the air valve is
not stuck.
•
Apply some penetrating lubricant spray to the
air valve and into the air nipple.
•
Reassemble and operate the THAP...E (see section 4, "Operating Instructions").
If the air motor does not operate after these steps, return the pump to an authorised SKF
Repair Centre.
9.2 Oil pump or injector
If the THAP...E will not build up or maintain oil pressure:
•
Check for oil leakage.
•
Tighten the release valve.
If oil leaks from the THAP...E:
•
If the connection leaks, make sure the mating surfaces are not damaged.
Replace all damaged parts.
•
If the mating surfaces are not damaged, tighten the connection.
•
To correct other leaks, carefully tighten the screws.
If the oil pump or injector does not operate after these steps, return to an authorised
SKF Repair Centre.
