Problem
Possible cause
Correction
System will not start or stops in 
mid-operation 
(no indication of fault)
System does not start or stops in 
mid-operation with the following 
fault indication:
C3K 
C3K
Water tank
Water tank
Pipeline / internal hoses
Sensors
One or more pumps will not stop 
after end of operation
Pump restarts at short intervals
Working pressure too low
No working pressure
Irregular working pressure 
(machine vibrates)
Water volume at outlet point too 
small
1
) Mains power supply cut off
2
) Fuses have blown
3
) Control voltage fuses in DELTA 
  
    BOOSTER have blown
Any of the below faults ia fatal and 
should be corrected
Motor guard on motor 2 cut out:
1
) No phase
2
) Pump - motor blocked
3
) Short-circuit in motor
Thermal cut-out sensor in motor 3 cut out
1
) Air intake obstructed
2
) Oil deficiency
Water level in water tank too low
Temperature in water tank too 
high 
(>80°C)
Temperature in water tank too 
low (<2°C)
Leakage: external or internal
Combination of sensor values illegal.
I.e. if the high pressure switch is 
ON and 
the low pressure switch is 
OFF.
High-pressure cock at outlet point does 
not close
Flow sensor 
return defective
The system cannot keep up pressure
The high-pressure cock at outlet point 
not completely closed
Double spray lance used at outlet point 
without injector
Excessive water consumption
High-pressure cock at one outlet point is 
left open
Air in pump
Inlet water too hot
Blockage of filter for inlet water
Nozzle blocked
Connect mains power supply
Check that fuses correspond to power con-
sumption (model plate). Renew fuses
Call customer engineer
When fault has been corrected restart 
system - check that the fault indication has 
disappeared
*)  Call customer engineer 
(C3K pump no. 2 can be withdrawn on the 
steering - see section 3.5 - upon which the 
operation can be resumed)
*)  Allow the motor to cool 
Check the air intake and clean, if necessary
Refill with oil.
Check that the shut-off’s on the water inlets 
are open and clean the inlet filters, if ne-
cessary. Check that the water supply meets 
the requirements stated in sect. 1.5
Allow the water to cool, empty the wa-
tertank, if necessary. Check that the cold 
water connection is open and, if not, that 
the temp. on the hot connection does not 
exceed 75°C.
Empty the water tank, and make sure that 
the temperature of the water inlets are 
above 2°C.
In case of external leakage: disengage 
any open spray handles, if relevant - repair 
leakage.
In case of internal leakage: repair leakage
Call customer engineer
Check that all high-pressure cocks at outlet 
points have been closed
Call customer engineer
Check that all high-pressure cocks at outlet 
points have been closed
Check that all high-pressure cocks at outlet 
points have been closed.
Shift to single spray lance at this outlet 
point.
Check whether the water consumption of 
the spray lances used exceeds the capacity 
of the system - shift to other spray lances, if 
necessary
Shut off the high-pressure cock at outlet 
points not in use
Vent the system, cf. sect. 2.5.3
Allow water to cool and check that inlet 
temperature does not exceed 80°C
Clean the filter, cf. sect. 3.9.2
Clean the nozzle
*)  In both cases the plant will stop and the related control lamp will flash. When restarting the plant, the pump will  
 
 
AUTOMATICALLY cut out, and the operation can be resumed - the control lamp will now be constantly alight.
If other faults occur than those enlisted, please contact your nearest Nilfisk-ALTO service centre.
