If paint leaks down the outside of the Graco Paint Sprayer pump, the pump packings are likely worn and need to be replaced.
What to do if my Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 Paint Sprayer motor doesn't run?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer's motor isn't running, even when it's plugged in and the power switch is on, there are several possible causes and solutions: * Ensure the pressure isn't set to zero; turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase the pressure setting. * Check the outlet by trying a different one or plugging in a working device. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if needed. * Inspect the extension cord and sprayer power cord for damage, replacing them if necessary. * If paint or water is frozen in the pump, thaw it completely before attempting to start the sprayer. If the paint has hardened, the pump packings, valves, drivetrain, or pressure switch may need replacement, consider taking your sprayer to an authorized service center.
What to do if Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 dribbles?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump cycles, but paint only dribbles or spurts when the spray gun is triggered: * The pressure may be set too low. Slowly turn the Pressure Control Knob clockwise to increase the pressure setting. * The spray tip might be clogged; unclog it. * The InstaClean™ fluid filter could be clogged; clean or replace it. * The spray gun fluid filter may be clogged; clean or replace it. * The spray tip might be too large or worn; replace it.
Why my Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 pump cycles but does not build pressure?
If the pump of your Graco Paint Sprayer cycles but does not build up pressure, try the following: * Prime the pump. * Clean any debris off the inlet screen and make sure the suction tube is immersed in fluid. * Ensure the suction tube is immersed in the paint. * Tighten the suction tube connection and inspect for cracks or vacuum leaks. If cracked or damaged, replace the suction tube.
What to do if my Graco Paint Sprayer gun stopped spraying?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer gun stopped spraying, consider the following: * Remove the suction tube from the paint and prime the pump with water or solvent-based flushing fluid. * Tighten the suction tube connection and inspect for cracks or vacuum leaks. * Unclog the spray tip.
Why won't my Graco Paint Sprayer build up pressure?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump cycles but doesn't build pressure, it could be due to several reasons: * The pump may not be primed; make sure to prime it. * The inlet screen might be clogged; clean any debris off the inlet screen and ensure the suction tube is immersed in the paint. * The suction tube may not be immersed in paint; ensure it is. * The suction tube could be leaking; tighten the connection and inspect for cracks or vacuum leaks. Replace if damaged.
Why is my Graco Paint Sprayer not spraying a good pattern even at maximum pressure?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer can't achieve a good spray pattern even at maximum pressure, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the reversible spray tip is in the SPRAY position, not the UNCLOG position. * The spray tip may be too large for the sprayer; select a smaller one. * The spray tip might be worn out; replace it. * The extension cord might be too long or not heavy enough; replace it with a suitable one. * The inlet screen could be clogged; clean any debris off it. * The material might be too thick; thin it out. * If an extra section of hose is added, it might be too long; remove the extra section.
What to do if my Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 Paint Sprayer pump cycles but the paint dribbles?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump cycles but the paint only dribbles or spurts when the spray gun is triggered, the pressure may be set too low. Slowly turn the Pressure Control Knob clockwise to increase the pressure setting, which will turn the motor on to build pressure. Also, the spray tip may be clogged, so unclog the spray tip.
Why Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 has bad spray pattern?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer's pressure is set at maximum but you cannot achieve a good spray pattern, consider the following: * Ensure the reversible spray tip is in the SPRAY position. Rotate the arrow-shaped handle on the spray tip so it points forward. * The spray tip might be too large for the sprayer. Select a smaller spray tip. * The spray tip might be worn beyond the capability of the sprayer. Replace the spray tip. * The inlet screen might be clogged. Clean debris off the inlet screen. * The material might be too thick. Thin the material. * If an extra section of hose has been added, it might be too long. Remove the section of hose.
Why does my Graco MAGNUM LTS 17 Paint Sprayer motor overheat?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer motor is hot and runs intermittently, and it automatically shuts off due to excessive heat, it could be due to these reasons: * The vent holes in the enclosure might be plugged, or the sprayer is covered. Keep the vent holes clear of obstructions and overspray, and ensure the sprayer is open to air. * The extension cord might be too long or not a heavy enough gauge. Replace the extension cord. * If using an unregulated electrical generator, it might have excessive voltage. Use an electrical generator with a proper voltage regulator. The sprayer requires a 120VAC, 60 Hz, 1500-Watt generator.
