Sprayer wont spray paint

The Central Pneumatic 93974 sprayer may not spray paint due to several possible issues:
1. Clogged Air Cap or Fluid Tip – Dry paint or debris may be blocking the air cap or fluid tip. Clean both using a non-metallic point. 2. Incorrect Air Pressure – If the air pressure is too low, increase it within the recommended PSI range (maximum 40 PSI). 3. Thick Paint Material – If the paint is too thick, thin it according to the manufacturer's instructions. 4. Insufficient Fluid Supply – Increase the fluid flow if there is not enough paint being delivered. 5. Dirty or Loose Air Cap – Clean and tighten the air cap if it is loose or contaminated. 6. Improper Cleaning – If the sprayer was not cleaned immediately after use, dried paint may have clogged internal passages, making it difficult to operate.
Cleaning and maintaining the spray gun as recommended will help prevent and resolve these issues.
