    What to do if lubricant leaks past the seal on the bottom of my Graco Water Pump reservoir?
    • D
      Dawn DodsonSep 23, 2025
      If lubricant leaks past the seal on the bottom of the reservoir, it could be due to cracked or broken reservoir retaining tabs. In this case, replace the reservoir. Alternatively, the reservoir may be pressurized during filling. Ensure the vent hole is not plugged.

      If lubricant leaks past the seal on the bottom of the Graco Water Pump reservoir, it could be due to cracked or broken reservoir retaining tabs, or the reservoir is being pressurized during filling. If the retaining tabs are cracked or broken, replace the reservoir. If the reservoir is being pressurized, ensure the vent hole is not plugged.

    What to do if the display acts erratically on my Graco Water Pump?
    • K
      Kimberly BrownAug 26, 2025
      If the Graco Water Pump's display is acting erratically, it could be due to a faulty cycle/pressure wiring connection to the unit. Try unplugging the cycle/pressure cables from G3 and then plugging them back in one at a time to identify the faulty connection.

    Why my Graco G3 Water Pump does not power on?
    • S
      Sara AlvarezAug 27, 2025
      If your Graco Water Pump isn't powering on, several issues could be the cause. It could be due to incorrect or loose wiring. Another potential cause is a tripped external fuse, which might happen because of an internal component failure or pumping non-cold weather lubricant in cold weather. There is also a possibility of tripped internal power supply fuse due to power supply failure. In the case of tripped external fuse due to pumping non-cold weather lubricant in cold weather, replace the lubricant with a pumpable lubricant rated for the environmental conditions and application, and replace the fuse. For other causes, further investigation is needed.

    What to do if I get a USB Error 07 on my Graco G3?
    • T
      Tamara BrowningAug 27, 2025
      If your Graco Water Pump shows a USB Error 07, it means the flash drive is unable to mount or initialize. Here are some steps you can try: * Unplug the flash drive and re-install it. * Cycle the power and then re-install the flash drive. * Try using a different flash drive. * Verify that the format is FAT32 file system.

    Why does my Graco Lubrication systems pump take several minutes to begin pumping at the highest volume setting?
    • S
      silvacoreySep 13, 2025
      If your pump takes several minutes to start pumping at the highest volume, especially with no shims installed, it might be due to pumping non-cold weather grease in cold weather. Try adding one shim and adjust the lube cycle time to accommodate the difference in pump volume per stroke.

    What to do if my Graco Lubrication systems follower plate is not going down?
    • S
      sstoneSep 12, 2025
      If the follower plate isn't going down, it could be that air is trapped in the reservoir between the follower plate and the grease. You should add grease following the Loading Grease instructions and ensure that the air is purged.

    Why Graco Lubrication systems unit is not operating based on the time that was programmed?
    • D
      dorisdyerSep 12, 2025
      If your unit isn't operating according to the programmed time, it's possible the time was misinterpreted as MM:SS instead of HH:MM (or vice versa). Verify the unit was programmed as intended, referencing programming instructions. Pay attention to the dot designation for hours, minutes, and seconds on the top row of the display.

    Why can’t I set desired ON/OFF times on my Graco Water Pump?
    • L
      Laura StoutSep 4, 2025
      If you can’t set the desired ON/OFF times on your Graco Water Pump, it might be because the maximum duty cycle is 33% (2 minutes OFF for each minute ON). Adhere to the allowable duty cycle.

    What does USB Error 12 mean on my Graco Water Pump?
    • A
      aaronmurphySep 2, 2025
      If the Graco Water Pump shows USB Error 12, it means that the pump program settings directory was not found. Verify that the pump program setting folder structure and file are stored correctly on the flash drive.
