MOTOR IS HOT AND RUNS INTERMITTENTLY
TYPE OF PROBLEM
Motor is hot and runs intermit-
tently.
ELECTRICAL SHORT
TYPE OF PROBLEM
Building circuit breaker opens
as soon as sprayer switch is
turned on.
CAUTION
Any short in any part of the
motor power circuit will cause
the control circuit to inhibit
sprayer operation. Correctly
diagnose and repair all shorts
before checking and replac-
ing control board.
Building circuit breaker opens
as soon as sprayer is plugged
into outlet and sprayer is NOT
turned on.
Sprayer quits after sprayer op-
erates for 5 to 10 minutes.
.
WHAT TO CHECK
If check is OK, go to next check
1. Determine if sprayer was operated at high
pressure with small tips, which causes low
motor RPM and excessive heat build up.
2. Be sure ambient temperature where sprayer
is located is no more than 90 F and sprayer
is not located in direct sun.
3. Determine if sprayer was turned on, pressur-
ized, but not operating for long periods of time.
WHAT TO CHECK
If check is OK, go to next check
1. Check all electrical wiring for damaged insula-
tion, and all terminals for loose fit or damage.
Also check wires between pressure control
and motor which are encased in conduit (1).
See page 27.
2. Check for missing inspection plate gasket
(see page 27), bent terminal forks or other
metal to metal contact points which could
cause a short.
3. Check motor armature for shorts. Use an ar-
mature tester (growler) or perform spin test.
See page 17. Inspect windings for burns.
4. Check pressure control board (301) by substi-
tuting with a good control board. See page 22.
1. Check Basic Electrical Problems on page 12. 1. Perform necessary procedures.
2. Check ON/OFF switch (307) See page 21. Be
sure the sprayer is unplugged! Disconnect
wires from switch. Check switch with ohmme-
ter. The reading should be infinity with the ON/
OFF switch OFF, and zero with the switch ON.
3. Check for damaged or pinched wires in the
pressure control. See page 22.
1. Check Basic Electrical Problems on page 12. 1. Perform necessary procedures.
2. Check electrical supply with volt meter. Meter
should read 105 to 125 VAC.
3. Check tightness of pump packing nut. Over
tightening tightens packings on rod, restricts
pump action, and damages packings.
WHAT TO DO
When check is not OK refer to this column
1. Decrease pressure setting or increase tip
size.
2. Move sprayer to shaded, cooler area if pos-
sible.
3 Turn off sprayer whenever you stop spray-
ing for a while and relieve fluid pressure.
WHAT TO DO
When check is not OK refer to this column
1. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or
terminals. Securely reconnect all wires.
2. Correct faulty conditions.
3. Replace motor. See page 27.
4. Replace with a new pressure control board
(301). See page 22.
2. Replace ON/OFF switch. See page 21.
3. Replace damaged parts. See page 22.
2. If voltage is too high, do not operate
sprayer until corrected.
3. Loosen packing nut. Check for leaking
around throat. Replace pump packings, if
necessary. See manual 307–806.
