Troubleshooting Guide

 

Problem 

Solution 

Pump does not operate 

 

Ensure battery wires are connected to battery properly 

 

Check the inline fuse and fuse holder in the power loom 

 

Ensure the lower loom clip connector is correctly attached to 
connector on the pump 

Pump wiring overheating 

 

This can happen when pump is operated at high pressures 
for long periods of time 

 

If power loom has been extended, larger gauge wire may be 
required 

Pump does not self-prime 

 

Check filter, nozzles and spray lines for blockage 

 

Check for air leak on suction side 

 

Diaphragm may have a hole 

 

Pump valves may be stuck or blocked, clean pump rinse 
clean water backwards through pump 

Pump is overheating 

 

Ambient temperature or pump pressure is too high, spray at 
lower pressure or when environment is cooler (see 
specifications for relationship between pump pressure, 
amperage and ambient temperature) 

Spray pattern is uneven 

 

Adjust angle and pressure to boom less nozzle 

 

Check for blockage in nozzle 

 

If nozzles are worn or damaged replace them
