Advanced Troubleshooting
General Problem: Circuit Breaker is Tripping
SPECIFIC PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
Building circuit breaker opens
as soon as sprayer is turned on.
Sprayer electrical wiring is pinched, or insulation
is damaged.
Wires between pressure control switch and
control board are pinched.
Repair or replace any damaged wiring or
terminals. Securely reconnect all wires.
Motor armature is shorting.
Check for shorts using armature tester
(growler), or perform spin test (see
Motor
Diagnostics
on page 16). Replace motor if
shorts are evident.
See
Motor Kit
on page 18.
Control board is damaged.
CAUTION:
Do not perform control board
diagnostics until you have determined that the
armature is good. A bad motor armature can burn
out a good control board.
See
Control Board Diagnostics
on page
16, and replace control board if damaged.
See
Control Board Kit
on page 17.
Building circuit breaker opens
as soon as sprayer is plugged
into outlet, and sprayer is NOT
turned on.
NOTE:
Remove right
enclosure mounting screws,
and pull right enclosure away
from drive housing.

Sprayer electrical cord is damaged.
Unplug sprayer electrical cord. Disconnect
black electrical cord wire at Power switch (B),
and unplug in-line connection of white
electrical cord wire. Plug in electrical cord,
and test voltage between black and white
electrical cord wires. Meter must read
85 to130V AC.
Replace electrical cord if no voltage.

to not pull on the leads from
the electrical cord and the
Power switch (B).
Sprayer Power switch (B) is damaged.
Unplug sprayer electrical cord
,
and
disconnect wires from Power switch (B).
Check resistance of switch with ohmmeter.
Reading must be infinity with Power switch
OFF, and zero with Power switch ON.
Replace Power switch if damaged.

General Problem: Motor Operation is Erratic
SPECIFIC PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
Sprayer quits after running for 5 to 10 minutes.
Electrical outlet is damaged or
supplying the wrong voltage.
Reset building circuit breaker or
replace building fuse. Try another
outlet.
Check electric supply with volt meter
Check electric supply with volt meter.
Meter must read 85 to 130V AC. If
voltage is too high, do not use outlet
until corrected.

Problems” on page 11.
Motor is hot and runs intermittently.
NOTE:
This is a thermal overload condition.
Motor automatically shuts off due to excessive
heat.
See
Startup Hazard After Thermal Overload
on page 3. Damage can occur if cause is not
corrected.
