6 Troubleshooting
6.1 General Troubleshooting
6.1.1 -
The Viper will not turn on/doesn’t have any power:
1. Check to ensure that the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
2. Check to ensure that the power switch is turned on.
3. If the above do not solve the issue, you may need to check the fuse located inside the Viper
control panel.
4. Remove all the screws on the side control panel.
5. The fuse is located to the left of the 24V power supply.
6. Open the fuse holder and remove the fuse.
7. If the fuse element is not intact, replace the fuse.
6.1.2 - The Viper will not spray pre-treatment fluid:
1. Ensure that you have loaded pre-treatment into the Viper. You can verify there is pre-treatment in
the lines by opening the garage door and looking at the fluid lines feeding the spray heads. If they
are empty there is no pre-treatment in the system. Load the pre-treatment according to the FLUID
MAINTENANCE section.
2. If you have pre-treatment in the machine, make sure the valves are set to the correct pre-treatment
solution settings – i.e. Pre-treatment 1 for both the top and bottom valves on the side of the Viper.
3. Listen to make sure that the pump kicks on when you try to spray a shirt. The pump should kick
on prior to the platen entering the Viper completely. It will sound slightly different and have a
“hum” to it. If you do not hear the pump kick on see the question IF THE PUMP DOESN’T
TURN ON.
6.1.3 -
The Spray Pattern is “blotchy”
1. If you see a consistent area across the entire sprayed area that looks like the Viper is “skipping”
sprayed areas it is most likely that you are sucking air into the fluid system. Ensure that there is
plenty of pre-treatment fluid in the container and that the red filter is completely submerged in the
pre-treatment solution
