!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Repair or replace the components.
See relevant instructions in surge tank's manual.
Reduce the required flow or improve the operating
conditions of the pump (suction conditions, head, flow
resistance, liquid temperature, viscosity,...etc.).
Adjust the pump and/or motor shafts.
Replace the bearings or the motor.
Consult a qualified engineer form the supplier of the
frequency converter.
Replace vibration & noise dampers, if worn.
