Troubleshooting

WHAT TO CHECK
If check is OK, go to next check
1. Pressure control knob setting. Motor will not run
if at minimum setting (fully counterclockwise).
2. Spray tip or fluid filter may be clogged.
1. Pump (13) for frozen or hardened paint.
2. Displacement pump connecting rod pin (9a).
Pin must be completely pushed into connecting
rod (9) and retaining spring (9b) must be firmly
in groove of pump pin. See Fig. 11.
3. Motor (1). Remove drive housing assembly
(10). See page 21. Try to rotate fan by hand.
1. Motor control board. Board shuts down and dis-
plays error code.
2. Electrical supply. Meter must read:
210–255 Vac for 220–240 Vac models.
85–130 Vac for 100–120 Vac models.
3. Extension cord. Check extension cord continu-
ity with volt meter.

3. 120 Vac: A 12 AWG, 3 wires with grounding prong,
300 ft (90 m) extension cord may be used.
220–240 Vac: You may use a 3-wire, 1.0 mm (12
AWG) (minimum) extension cord up to 90 m long.
Long lengths reduce sprayer performance.

ment).

tainer.
