Check the temperature of the output adapter. If it is hot, examine the high-pressure poppet and the
high-pressure poppet seat.
Check the temperature of the bleed-down valve. If it is hot or if water is coming out of the drain hose,
repair or replace the bleed-down valve.
Check the temperature of the high-pressure cylinders. If 1 is hot, disassemble it and look for flaws,
deterioration, erosion marks, or cracks in the parts, including the check valve and piston seal.
The orifices are not the correct size or too many are being used.
Make sure that the number of orifices and their sizes are sufficient for the pump’s output.
