Paint Flow Problems
-
If the unit does not draw
material when the PRIME/SPRAY knob is set to PRIME, check to see if the
paint hopper is empty. If paint is in the hopper, ensure that the paint
is not too thick for the unit to draw. Also, make sure the unit is on
level ground to allow the paint to flow properly in the hopper. Examine
the inlet filter to see if it is clogged and clean it, if necessary.
Sometimes the inlet or outlet valves may be stuck. If so, clean them.
If this does not help, replace the valves. Check the PRIME/SPRAY valve
to see if it is plugged and clear the valve, as needed.
Pressure Problems
-
If the sprayer is drawing
material properly, but the pressure drops when the trigger on the spray
gun is activated, first examine the spray tip for clogging or wear.
Clean the tip or replace it, if worn out. Also, check the inlet and
outlet valve assemblies for clogging or wear. Clean the assemblies or
replace them, if necessary. The paint may also be too thick or coarse to
spray properly and may need to be remixed to a thinner consistency. The
filter in the spray gun may also need to be cleaned.
