General Problem: Low or Fluctuating Output

Specific Problem

Cause

Solution

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pump cycles, but output is low

See Basic Troubleshooting,

 

or surging

page 9.

 

 

 

 

 

Worn or obstructed pump

Check for worn pump valves as follows:

 

valves

1. Prime sprayer with paint.

 

 

 

 

2. Trigger spray gun momentarily.

 

 

3. When spray gun trigger is released pump

 

 

should cycle momentarily and stop.

 

 

4. If pump continues to cycle, pump valves

 

 

may be worn or obstructed.

 

 

5. Pump Service, page 20.

 

 

 

 

Prime/Spray valve is leaking

Check Prime/Spray valve for debris trapped on

 

 

seat and for worn parts. Torque to 21 N•m (185

 

 

in-lb). Replace if parts are worn using

 

 

Prime/Spray Drain Valve Kit, page 18.

 

 

 

 

Voltage from electrical outlet is

Check voltage of outlet. Meter must read 200-260

 

too low. Low voltages reduce

V AC.

 

sprayer performance.

Reset building circuit breaker or replace building

 

 

fuse.

 

 

Repair electrical outlet or try another outlet.

 

 

 

 

Extension cord is too long or

Replace extension cord.

 

not heavy enough gauge

Grounding and Electrical Requirements, page

 

 

7.

 

 

 

 

Leads from motor or pressure

Be sure terminals are centered and firmly

 

switch to control board are

connected. Inspect for pinched wiring and wiring

 

damaged, loose, pinched, or

insulation and terminals for signs of overheating.

 

overheated

Replace any loose terminals or damaged wiring.

 

 

Securely reconnect terminals.

 

 

 

 

Motor brushes are worn

Check length of BOTH brushes (brushes to not

 

 

wear evenly on both sides of the motor). Brush

 

 

length must be 6.4mm (0.25 in). If brushes are

 

 

worn replace motor using Motor Kit, page 18.

 

 

 

 

Motor brush springs are broken

If springs are broken replace motor using Motor

 

 

Kit, page 18.

 

 

 

 

Motor brushes are binding in

Clean brush holders. Remove carbon dust with

 

brush holders

small cleaning brush.

 

 

 

 

Motor stops before sprayer

Replace pressure control using Pressure Control

 

reaches correct pressure (stall

Switch Kit, page 18.

 

pressure is too low)

 

 

 

 

 

Motor armature shorted

Check for shorts using armature tester (growler)

 

 

or perform spin test, Motor Diagnostics, page

 

 

19. If shorts are evident, replace motor using

 

 

Motor Kit, page 18.
