Fault

Possible cause/s

Remedy

The pump does not cycle whether 

the spray gun is triggered or the 

drain valve is opened.

1.  The compressed air shut-off 

valve is closed.

2.  The air motor is defect.

 

Open the compressed air shut-

off valve.

 

Repair the air motor – contact 

customer service if necessary.

Pump runs but no material is en-

couraged.

1.  Bottom valve ball does not rise 

(stuck). 

 

 

2.  Bottom valve does not close.

 

Hit the bottom valve lightly from 

the side (hammer) – if that does 

not help, press on the ball from 

below using a peg or screwdriver 

until loose.

 

Remove the bottom valve and 

clean the ball and seat thoroughly.

Pump cycles but does not stop when 

the spray gun is closed.

1.  Packing and/or valve worn.

 

Replace parts.

Pump cycles evenly but the required 

operating pressure can not be 

reached.

1.  Air supply / pressure is too low. 

 

2.  Spray nozzle is too big.

3.  Spray nozzle is worn

4.  Air motor is frozen (runs too 

slow).

 

Increase the inbound air pressure 

with the regulator and check the 

diameter of the inbound air hose.

 

Use a smaller spray nozzle.

 

Replace the spray nozzle.

 

If possible, reduce the inbound 

air pressure.  

Fill the oiler with anti-freeze (Gly-

santine) and adjust it.

Pump cycles unevenly (different 

stroke speeds on the upward and 

downward strokes) and the required 

spray pressure can not be reached.

1.  The viscosity of the coating is too 

high (suction loss).

2.  Bottom valve leaks (pump only 

stops on the upwards stroke 

when the spray gun is closed).

3.  Piston valve leaks (pump only 

stops on the downwards stroke 

when the spray gun is closed).

4.  Upper or lower packings leak 

(wear).

 

Dilute or warm up the coating 

material.

 

Remove the bottom valve and 

clean the ball and seat thoroughly. 

 

Clean the ball and seat in the dual 

piston and replace if necessary. 

 

Replace packings.

Coating material spills out of the air 

motor anti-vaccum hole.

1.  Packings are worn.

 

Replace packings. 

Note: Do not close or block the 

ventilation hole!
