INSPECTION
SPRAY SYSTEM
1. Inspect the pump inlet (
IN
) and discharge (
OUT
) lines
to make sure they are clear. Obstructed lines will
prevent self-priming of the pump. See Figure 19.
Figure 19. Pump Inspection
2. Inspect all hoses for weak or worn condition, and
replace as necessary.
3. Inspect the O-rings inside each of the quick-connect
fittings for damage or wear (Figure 20). Replace if
necessary.
Figure 20. O-Ring Inspection
4. Inspect all hose fitting connections, including the
compressor port. Make sure the suction hose
connection to the
IN
port on the pump is tightly secured.
A loose connection will cause air to be drawn into the
line, and the pump will not prime itself properly.

5. Inspect the spray gun and spray tips for damage or

COMPRESSOR OIL
1. Remove the compressor dipstick and check the
compressor oil level shown on the dipstick (Figure 21).
The oil should be between the dipstick's minimum
and maximum marks. If the oil level is low, fill with the
recommended oil type (Table 7). Maximum compressor
oil capacity is 0.094 quarts (0.09 liters).

TIRE PRESSURE
Inspect the wheels and check the front tire air pressure. The
two front tires should be inflated to approximately 28 psig.
CHEMICAL SUPPLY
For best results, make sure the material to be sprayed is mixed
properly according to manufacturer's recommendations,
and has an even consistency.
