  If the motor of your Graco Paint Sprayer won’t operate, consider the following: * Slowly increase the pressure setting to see if the motor starts. * Relieve pressure and clear any clogs from the spray tip or clean the gun filter. * If water or water-based paint has frozen, thaw the sprayer completely before starting. * If paint has hardened, replace the pump packings. * Ensure the displacement pump connecting rod pin is correctly placed and secured with the retaining spring. * Replace the motor if the fan won’t turn.
