Coil melting loss. melting loss1. excess temperatureAdjusting
2. supply voltage exceed specified value
3. generate residual magnetism
4. lead too tight
Movable iron core cannot go back when power off1. movable iron core Slipper part get stuckWipe off impurity
2. reset spring corrosionChange spring
Actuation time error1. iron core  and valve seat corrosionIron core  rust removal or change, increase
2. Slipper part has dust and impurityVoltage
Reversing valveLeakage1. P-A cavitary seal ring brokenReplace sealing element part
2.  priority valve  and  main valve  coupling screw loose
After reverse, O cavitary  Continue to vent1.  P-A  cavitary  seal ring brokenReplace sealing element part, change  seal ring
2.  piston seal broken
Not reversing1.  coil  bad contactCheck binding post
2.  coil  burning-outchange coil
3.  main valve  element get stuckRemoving impurities
4.  valve slipper part large resistanceImprove lubrication
5.  poor lubricationChange seal ring
6.  seal ring  deformationChange seal ring
Valve vibration1. control air supply low pressureIncrease  control pressure
2.  guide  solenoid valve low voltageIncrease supply voltage
Reversing valveReversing too  slowexhaust resistance increasing due to silencer installed at the ventChange silencer
Balance valve fault1. two guide  solenoid valve  electrical signal   out of syncCheck electrical signal
2. travel switch not workCheck valve element   dynamical friction switch, change them if necessary
