TROUBLESHOOTING

The backward movement of the piston, creates a vacuum in the hydraulic system. This causes the hydraulic outgo valve to close and the hydraulic intake valve to open (fig# 1). Opening of the hydraulic intake valve allows a new supply of hydraulic oil to enter the system, replacing the oil which was used on the forward stroke. Once again a corresponding re-action is taking place in the paint pump. The diaphragm is pushed backward by the paint intake spring, (ref# 15). The backward diaphragm movement causes a vacuum in the paint pump. This vacuum causes the intake valve to open, allowing a new supply of paint to enter. The corresponding paint outgo valve is drawn closed by the vacuum created by the diaphragm.

These operations are repeated at a rate of 750 times a minute. These continuously repeated actions draw paint into the pump, pressurize it, and then deliver it to the gun. The failure, of any one valve, to operate correctly will effect the overall equipment performance.

Each of the five valves mentioned earlier, have an important function and will effect the overall performance of the unit if not performing correctly.

HYDRAULIC INTAKE VALVE (REF# 62, PART # 4-30)

The hydraulic intake valve, is a small vacuum valve which controls the hydraulic oil entering the hydraulic pump/cylinder area. Once the oil has past through the valve it is prevented from returning. The valve is commonly called a “one way check valve”. Valve failure will result in the hydraulic pump being unable to build pressure, and the diaphragm will stop moving. Spray pressure will cease.

HYDRAULIC OUTGO VALVE (REF# 73, PART # 4-27C)

The hydraulic outgo valve, better known as the "pressure control valve", is used to control the units operating pressure. The valve is fully adjustable from 0 psi. to 3000 psi. By turning the pressure control valve knob (ref# 74) clockwise the pressure is increased. The hydraulic pump continues to build at all times and must have a means of releasing this pressure. Pressure applied to the P.C. ball, (ref# 87) will keep it lodged in the P.C. seat (ref# 86) until the internal hydraulic oil pressure is sufficient to cause it to open. The point at which the oil is released is equal to the level set by the control knob. As components within the pressure control valve wear, the valve looses its ability to maintain or reach the required pressures (see "low static pressure").

PAINT INTAKE VALVE ASSEMBLY (REF# 11-15)

The paint intake valve is made up of five items, endcap (ref# 11) complete with seat (ref# 12), intake ball (ref# 13), cage complete with spring (ref# 14), and large spring (ref# 15). The intake valve controls the incoming flow of spray materials and is responsible for keeping them from returning to the source. The ball must be able to create a complete seal on the seat, otherwise pressure will be lost. A worn intake valve will permit correct static pressure, but supply lower spray pressure. A worn intake ball will become smaller in diameter and loose its ability to seal at the seat. A worn seat will develop a large step in the area where contact with the ball is made. This can cause the intake ball to distort in shape making the ball egg shaped. If the valve assembly becomes warm to the touch, this may be a sign of a loose or worn seat or erosion / wash out of the endcap block. The seat is Loc-Titeed into the endcap and must remain tightly sealed at all times.
