Sprayer and Pump FAQs:
♦
Why does the pump not run all the time?
This is an on
-
demand pump and only runs when a discharge is open (spray gun, bypass, boom (if applicable) or a system leak.
♦
Why does the pump surge while using the spray gun?
Low flow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). Typically the spray wand is adjusted at too fine of a mist, to
overcome, adjust the nozzle for a higher flow.
♦
How do I adjust the pressure?
Pressure can only be adjusted by opening the pressure adjust (bypass) valve to allow some of your water or solution to return
to the tank (if equipped).
♦
Pump quit and will not run, what do I need to do?
Squeeze trigger on spray gun to ensure that the system isn
’
t just pressurized up with discharges closed.
Check electrical connections, ensure switch is on. Check fuses. Check for proper voltage. Check pressure switch.
♦
Low flow or no flow at all, what do I need to check for?
Check for a clogged intake hose and/or intake strainer. Check for proper voltage.
You will need to occasionally check your intake strainer to ensure that it is clean of any debris.
♦
What is causing the fuse to blow each time I turn the pump on?
Check for excessive voltage. Improper adjustment of the pressure switch. Damaged or defective wire harness or defective
pressure switch.
Warning:
Ensure the wiring harness does not become pinched or damaged in any way. This may damage the pump or cause the wiring
harness to overheat, resulting in a melt down or fire.
