Problem
Motor runs and pump
strokes
Motor runs but pump does
not stroke
Motor is hot and runs
intermittently
311990F
What To Check
(If check is OK, go to next check)
1. Prime Valve Open.
2. Paint supply.
3. Intake strainer clogged.
4. Suction tube leaking air.
5. Intake valve ball and piston ball
are seating properly.
6. Leaking around throat packing
nut which may indicate worn or
damaged packings.
7. Pump rod damaged.
1. Displacement pump pin dam-
aged or missing.
2. Connecting rod assembly for
damage.
3. Gears or drive housing.
1. Be sure ambient temperature
where sprayer is located is not
more than 115°F (46°C) and
sprayer is not located in direct
sun.
2. Motor has burned windings indi-
cated by removing positive (red)
brush and seeing burned adja-
cent commutator bars.
3. Tightness of pump packing nut.
Overtightening tightens packings
on rod, restricts pump action and
damages packings.
