Why is my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 spray pattern inconsistent?
If the spray pattern of your ASM Paint Sprayer is inconsistent or leaving stripes, it could be due to the pressure being set too low. Turn the Pressure Control Knob clockwise to increase the pressure. Another possible reason is that the spray tip is worn beyond the sprayer's capability, in which case you should replace the spray tip.
What to do if ASM Zip-Spray 1700 pump cycles but does not build up pressure?
If your ASM Paint Sprayer pump cycles but doesn't build up pressure, first, ensure the pump is primed. Check if the inlet screen is clogged or the suction tube isn't immersed; 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 re-prime the sprayer. Inspect the suction tube for leaks, tighten the connection, and replace the tube if cracked. If the pump check valves are dirty or damaged, clean or replace them. If the Spray-Prime/Drain Valve is worn or obstructed, you will need to take your sprayer to an authorized service center.
Why is my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 Paint Sprayer motor hot and running intermittently?
If your ASM Paint Sprayer motor is hot and runs intermittently (and it's not a thermal overload), several factors could be the cause. Ensure the vent holes in the enclosure are clear of obstructions and overspray, and that the sprayer is open to air. Also, check if the extension cord is too long or not a heavy enough gauge and replace it if necessary. If you're using an unregulated electrical generator, it might have excessive voltage; use one with a proper voltage regulator (120VAC, 60 Hz, 1500-Watt generator). Lastly, operating the sprayer at high pressure with a very small tip can cause frequent motor starts and excessive heat build-up; decrease the pressure setting or increase the tip size.
Why does my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 Paint Sprayer's motor get hot and run intermittently?
Your ASM Paint Sprayer's motor might be overheating and running intermittently due to several reasons. The vent holes in the enclosures could be plugged, or the sprayer might be covered, so ensure the vent holes are clear and the sprayer is open to air. The extension cord might be too long or not heavy enough gauge, so consider replacing it. If you're using an unregulated electrical generator, it might have excessive voltage; use a generator with a proper voltage regulator (120V AC, 60 Hz, 1500-Watt). Lastly, operating the sprayer at high pressure with a very small tip can cause frequent motor starts and excessive heat, so decrease the pressure setting or increase the tip size.
Why does the fan pattern vary dramatically on my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 Paint Sprayer?
If the fan pattern varies dramatically while spraying or the sprayer doesn't turn on promptly when resuming spraying with your ASM Paint Sprayer, it's likely because the pressure control switch is worn and causing excessive pressure variation. Replace the Pressure Control knob using Pressure Control Switch Kit 244267.
What to do if I cannot trigger the spray gun on my ASM Paint Sprayer?
If you cannot trigger the spray gun on your ASM Paint Sprayer, check if the spray gun trigger safety lever is in the SAFETY ON position. If so, slide the trigger safety lever to the SAFETY OFF position.
Why does the spray come out of my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 in two thick streams?
If the spray comes out of your ASM Paint Sprayer in two thick streams, it's likely because the Super Zip spray tip is in the UNCLOG position. Rotate the arrow-shaped handle on the spray tip so it points forward in the SPRAY position.
Why is paint coming out of the pressure control switch on my ASM Paint Sprayer?
Paint coming out of the pressure control switch of your ASM Paint Sprayer indicates that the pressure control switch is worn. Replace the Pressure Control knob using Pressure Control Switch Kit 244267.
Why does paint leak down outside of my ASM Zip-Spray 1700 pump?
Paint leaking down the outside of your ASM Paint Sprayer pump is likely due to worn pump packings. Replace the pump packings.
What to do if my ASM Paint Sprayer has no spray pattern at maximum pressure?
If your ASM Paint Sprayer cannot achieve a good spray pattern even at maximum pressure, it could be due to several reasons. The spray tip might be too big for the sprayer, so select a smaller one. The spray tip could also be worn, so replace it. The extension cord might be too long or not heavy enough gauge, so replace it. Additionally, the spray gun fluid filter or fluid filter might be clogged, so clean or replace them. The inlet screen could be clogged, so clean it.
