Pumping operations are interrupted.
Possible cause What to do Unsuitable mixture Make the mixture more fluid. Safety grill open. Close the grill. Hydraulic fluid level too low. Top up the reservoir. Hydraulic fluid temperature too high. Check the fluid level and clean the radiator; wait for the fluid to cool down, with the engine running. One of the S valve or pumping piston control solenoid valves is faulty. Check the solenoid valve wiring (see wiring diagram) and check the led in question lights up. Fault in one of the position sensors for the S valve or the pumping pistons (check that the led in question lights up). Check the position sensor wiring (see wiring diagram). Qualified person: this fix involves electrical, pressure or engine work.

The pressure water cleaner pump does not work
Possible cause What to do Distributor lever not raised Raise the distributor lever. No water delivery to the pump. Check that the intake hose is not crimped or crushed. If necessary, place a water tank at a suitable height and run the pump. Source: IMER manual 3234441 R08, page 43
The set accelerant pump does not work
Possible cause What to do Function not activated at the auxiliary control panel. Activate the pump with the control panel switch. Function activated in automatic, but with pumping deactivated. Activate manual mode on the control panel. Possible pump or hose blockage. Check for blockages in the hose and remove them, taking the usual precautions against contact with the skin and eyes. Electric board or control solenoid valve fault. Check the wiring. If possible, stop working, disconnect the solenoid valve connector and manually adjust the accelerant flow rate with the knob on the solenoid valve. Qualified person: this fix involves electrical, pressure or engine work.
