Possible cause
1. Inlet valve is leaky due to impurities or
wear.
2. Coating material viscosity is too high,
preventing it from being sucked up.
1. Outlet valve leaky.
2. Lower packing is worn.
1. Suction tube projects over the fluid
level and sucks in air.
2. Coating material viscosity is too high,
preventing it from being sucked up.
3. Ball in inlet valve housing is stuck.
1. Loose connections.
2. Relief valve is not closed completely.
3. Relief valve worn.
4. Lower packing worn.
5. Ball in inlet valve housing and ball
in outlet valve seat are not sealing
properly.
1. Tip is worn.
2. Filter cartridge in high-pressure filter
is clogged.
3. High-pressure hose is too long.
1. Solvent has made the upper packing
expand.
Measures for eliminating the malfunction
1. Clean and check the inlet valve housing. Insert ball and fill
with water; if leaky, replace ball.
2. Thin out according to the manufacturer's instructions.
1. Dismantle and check outlet valve seat. Insert ball and fill
with water; if leaky, replace ball.
2. Replace.
1. Refill the coating material
2. Thin out the coating material according to manufacturer's
instructions.
3. Vent air from material feed pump and turn the relief valve
knob to the left (k Circulation).
1. Dismantle inlet valve housing, clean ball and valve seat.
Check all connections between the material feed pump
and spray gun.
2. Turn relief valve handle (3) fully clockwise (p spray).
3. Replace
4. If the measures described above do not help, replace
lower packing.
5. Dismantle inlet valve housing and outlet valve seat. Clean
balls and valve seats.
1. Replace
