What to do if my ASM Paint Sprayer pump cycles but does not build up pressure?
If your ASM Paint Sprayer pump cycles but doesn't build up pressure, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the pump is properly primed. Check if the inlet screen is clogged or the suction tube isn't immersed in paint; clean the screen and ensure the tube is at the bottom of the paint pail. Make sure the paint pail is not empty and refill it if needed, then reprime the sprayer. Inspect the suction tube for leaks and tighten the connection if necessary. Also, the Spray–Prime/Drain valve may be worn or obstructed with debris; check and clean it, ensuring proper torque (185 in-lb or 21 N m), and replace if worn.

How to fix ASM Zip-Spray 1700 when pump does not prime?
If the pump of your ASM Paint Sprayer does not prime, make sure the Spray-Prime/Drain Valve is in the PRIME/DRAIN position. Check if the inlet screen is clogged or the suction tube is not immersed; clean the screen and ensure the tube is at the bottom of the paint pail. If the inlet valve check ball is stuck, remove the suction tube and use a pencil to dislodge the ball. If the outlet valve check ball is stuck, remove the hose (for ESP Sprayers) or open the Easy-Access door (for 1500, 1700, 1900 Sprayers) and clean the assembly. Also, check the suction tube for leaks, tighten the connection, and inspect for cracks. Finally, if the Spray-Prime/Drain Valve is plugged, clean or replace the drain tube, or take the sprayer to an authorized service center if the valve is plugged.
What to do if ASM Paint Sprayer pump cycles but paint only dribbles?
If the ASM Paint Sprayer pump cycles, but paint only dribbles or spurts when the spray gun is triggered, the pressure might be set too low. Increase the pressure setting by turning the Pressure Control Knob clockwise. Additionally, the spray tip could be clogged – unclog the spray tip. For 1500, 1700, and 1900 models, the pump fluid filter might be clogged, so clean or replace it. Also, the spray gun fluid filter might be clogged, so clean or replace the gun fluid filter.
