  • If you are getting an hourglass shape spray pattern:(1) Make sure your tubes a seated fully.(2) Check the tube so that it is submerged into the fluid and wipe off any debris.
  • If you are getting a grinding sound during travel forward or reverse OR spray head turns on and off during spray:

(1) Check the wires inside the chain by taking the lid off and the bellow support out.

•The chain can open up by the ribs to access the inside.

(2) If there is any wires broken from a connector or the wire has cracked/split it will need replaced or repaired.

• If you cannot pump either pretreat/water/cleaning solution or all:

By-pass the fluid solenoids by connecting an external line (pretreat/water/or cleaning) to the inlet side of the pump by the clear tube (there should be a union about 3-4" from the pump)

 ->If that works and you can pump fluid through then disassemble the fluid solenoids. 

->If that does not work then disassemble the pump and spray head.
