Why won't my Graco Magnum True Airless Project Painter Plus motor run?

  If the Graco Paint Sprayer motor isn't running, first ensure the pressure control isn't set at zero; turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase the pressure setting. Also, verify the electric outlet is providing power by testing it with a known working device and reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if needed. Check the sprayer and any extension cords for damage, replacing them if necessary. Lastly, a seized pump could be the culprit, especially if paint has hardened or water has frozen inside. If frozen, thaw completely before use. If paint has hardened, and removing the pump doesn't allow the motor to turn, consult an authorized service center.

What to do if Graco Paint Sprayer pump does not prime?

  If your Graco Paint Sprayer runs but doesn't prime, ensure the Prime/Spray Valve is in the PRIME position until paint exits the Drain Tube. Check for clogs in the inlet screen and ensure the Suction Tube is fully immersed in paint. For X5/X7 models, try pressing the PushPrime button twice to loosen the inlet valve. Inspect the Suction Tube connection for leaks. Straining the paint may also help remove any debris causing obstructions.

How to fix poor spray pattern on Graco Magnum True Airless Project Painter Plus Paint Sprayer?

  Jennifer SimsAug 23, 2025
  If your Graco Paint Sprayer is primed but the spray pattern is poor, start by addressing the most common issues. Ensure the Reversible Spray Tip is in the SPRAY position. Clean or replace the spray gun filter if it's clogged. If the pressure is too low, adjust it accordingly. Also, make sure the inlet screen is clean, and the suction tube is fully immersed in paint. If these steps don't work, consider whether the material is too thick and needs thinning. Replacing a worn spray tip gasket and seal, or using a shorter airless hose may also improve your spray pattern.

Why does my Graco Magnum True Airless Project Painter Plus Paint Sprayer motor get hot and shut off?
- M
  Mrs. Jennifer NguyenAug 27, 2025
  If your Graco Paint Sprayer motor is overheating and running intermittently, check that the vent holes are clear of obstructions and overspray, ensuring the sprayer is open to air. Replace any extension cord that is too long or not heavy enough gauge. If you're using an electrical generator, make sure it has a proper voltage regulator.

  If paint runs or sags when sprayed with your Graco Paint Sprayer, move the gun faster to apply a thinner coat. You might also consider using a Spray Tip with a smaller hole size or a wider fan. Also, make sure to keep the gun far enough from the surface.
