What To Check
(If check is OK, go to next check)
1. Worn spray tip.
2. Verify pump does not continue to
stroke when gun trigger is
released.

5. Electric supply with volt meter.
Meter must read 100-130 VAC

Low voltages reduce sprayer per-
formance.

nectors. Inspect wiring insulation
and terminals for signs of over-
heating.

holders.
