| Narrow or falling bead on the joint |
Welding pressure too high |
Reduce pressure to the chart value (P5 + Pt) |
| Too small bead |
Pressure not enough while welding |
Increase to the chart welding pressure |
| Ditch in the joint |
Temperature not reached, or changeover time too long |
Reheat to full temperature; remove plate within t3 |
| Misaligned joint |
Alignment exceeds 10% of wall thickness |
Re-align the two ends before welding |
| Pump motor does not work |
Power not connected; loose socket; electrical fault |
Check power, sockets, micro-switch and solid relay |
| Motor runs slowly with abnormal noise |
Motor overloaded; oil filter blocked; unstable voltage |
Check oil filter; confirm working pressure below rated; check voltage |
| Oil leakage |
Worn hoses; loose/worn quick couplings; seal not fitted |
Replace hoses; tighten or replace connectors; restore oil seal |
| Lack of pressure |
Oil level low; relief valve open/out of order; blocked coupling; air in system |
Top up oil; close or replace relief valve; purge air 30s via direction lever |
| Carriage trembling when moving |
Air in hydraulic cylinders |
Move the carriage back and forward via the direction lever to eliminate air |
| Heating plate cannot heat / display HH |
Sensor or wiring disconnected; solid relay or controller failure |
Check sensor and cable connections; replace solid relay or temperature controller |
| Trimmer cannot face with continuous chips |
Blunt blade; blade lower than plate |
Replace or shim the blade |
