DCut bladder or bellows: Check for sharp objects that may have been introduced into the surge suppressor through pumped fluid.

DInsufficient compressed air charge in surge sup- pressor during operation: See Charging and Startup on page 8.

DSurge suppressor too small for the pump: An undersized surge suppressor will have premature bladder failure. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in ensuring that you have the correct size surge suppressor.
