F.74Hydraulic system pressure too low
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Hydraulic system pressure too low
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The hydraulic system pressure is too low and the heat pump is switched off. The manual's first steps: top up with water and vent the system; if it repeats, the pressure sensor, the expansion vessel pre-charge and the pressure settings should be checked.
When to call a service technician: If the fault occurs repeatedly, contact your heating contractor.
