  To address fluid pressure issues with your Graco Paint Sprayer, first, gradually increase the pressure setting to check if the motor initiates. If the issue persists and the tip remains clogged, alleviate the pressure. Then, consult the separate manual for your specific gun or tip to properly clean it. Additionally, inspect and either clean or replace the filter element to ensure optimal performance.

  If your Graco Paint Sprayer experiences low output, you can try the following: * Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and then replace the tip. * Service the pump. * If the pump consistently stops with the rod fully extended, the piston packings or piston valve might be worn. In this case, service the pump. * Also, reset the building circuit breaker or replace the building fuse. You may need to repair the electrical outlet or try a different one. * Ensure you are using a correct, grounded extension cord by replacing the current one.

  If your Graco Paint Sprayer is not providing any output, but the motor runs and the pump strokes, you can try the following: * Refill and reprime the pump. * Remove, clean, and reinstall the components. * Tighten any loose connections, and use thread sealant on the npt threads of the adapter. * Remove and clean the intake valve. Inspect the ball and seat for any nicks, and replace them if necessary. Make sure to strain the paint before use to eliminate particles that might clog the pump. * Replace the packings. Check the piston valve seat for hardened paint or nicks, and replace it if needed. Tighten the packing nut/wet-cup. * If the pump consistently stops with the rod fully extended, it could indicate worn piston packings or a piston valve. In this case, service the pump.
