  If your Graco Paint Sprayer's application speed is slow, consider the following: * The material might be too thick. Thin the material. * The nozzle might be too small. Change to a larger nozzle. * Too much air might be used. Partially close the gun air valve to reduce airflow. * The pump hose might be worn. Replace the hose. * The gun might be plugged or dirty. Clean the gun. * The hose might be kinked. Unkink the hose. * The gun adjustment might be set too low. Increase the flow adjustment with the flow adjustment nut. * There might be too many items on the same circuit. Unplug other items from the circuit. * The extension cord might be too long or the wrong gauge. Use a different extension cord.

  If there's no air coming from the compressor of your Graco Paint Sprayer, first, ensure the gun air valve is open. Check the extension cord length and gauge, replacing it if it doesn't meet the recommendations. Clean the needle and retry. Check all quick disconnect connections to the gun and hoses. Replace the hose if it's damaged.
