Why is paint leaking from my Graco Magnum X5 pump?
If paint leaks down the outside of the pump on your Graco Paint Sprayer, replace the pump packings.
What to do if my Graco Magnum X5 power switch is on but the motor doesn't run?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer's power switch is on and the sprayer is plugged in, but the motor doesn't run, first ensure that the pressure isn't set to zero; turn the pressure control knob clockwise to increase the pressure setting. Then, check if the electric outlet is providing power by verifying that the lighted plug on the sprayer is lit; if not, reset the building circuit breaker or replace the fuse. A damaged extension cord or sprayer electric cord could also be the culprit, so inspect and replace them if necessary.
What to do if Graco Magnum X5 pump does not cycle?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump isn't cycling, even when plugged in and the power switch is on, start by checking the pressure control knob and turn it to increase pressure. Make sure the electrical outlet is providing power by testing it with another working device, and reset the circuit breaker if necessary. Inspect the extension cord and sprayer electrical cord for damage, replacing them if needed. If the paint is frozen or hardened, thaw the sprayer completely in a warm area before attempting to use it, or replace pump packings and remove residue from valves and passages.
Why Graco Magnum X5 pump cycles but pressure doesn't build up?
If the Graco Paint Sprayer pump cycles but pressure doesn't build, first, ensure the pump is properly primed. Check the inlet screen for any clogs and clean them off. Verify the suction tube is fully immersed in the paint. Refill the paint pail if it's empty and re-prime the sprayer. Inspect the suction tube for air leaks and tighten the connection or replace if cracked. If the pump check ball is stuck, refer to the 'Pump will not prime' section and press the pump priming button two times.
Why is Graco Paint Sprayer spraying two streams?
If the spray from your Graco Paint Sprayer gun comes out in two thick streams, rotate the arrow-shaped handle on the tip to the SPRAY position.
How to fix inconsistent spray pattern with Graco Magnum X5?

How to improve spray pattern on Graco Paint Sprayer?
If you can't achieve a good spray pattern with your Graco Paint Sprayer, even at maximum pressure, first select a smaller tip. If the tip is worn, replace it. Ensure the gun filter and fluid filter are clean. Also, check the inlet screen for clogs and clean any debris. If an extension cord is used, ensure it is not too long or of an insufficient gauge.
What to do if my Graco Magnum X5 pump does not prime?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump does not prime, make sure the Prime/Spray Valve is in the PRIME position (pointing down). Check the inlet screen for clogs and ensure the suction tube is immersed in fluid. If you haven't already, prime the pump with water or solvent-based flushing fluid. Also, make sure that the suction tube is not leaking, allowing air to enter, and replace it if cracked or damaged.
