    What to do if my Graco RTX 1500 Paint Sprayer won't run?
    • S
      Sherry RobertsAug 19, 2025
      If your Graco Paint Sprayer won’t run, there are several potential causes: * The power switch may not be on. Turn the switch on. * There may be no power at the wall outlet. Check the outlet by plugging in another appliance. If that appliance doesn't work, try a different outlet. * The temperature may be too cold. Allow the unit to warm up. * Too many items might be on the same circuit. Unplug other items from the circuit. * The internal thermal switch may have tripped. Allow the unit to cool down for 15 minutes and restart. This often happens when the wrong size extension cord is used. * The extension cord may be too long or the wrong gauge. Use a 12 gauge extension cord or remove the extension cord. * The breaker might have tripped. Reset the breaker.

    Why is the Graco RTX 1500 Paint Sprayer pump not pumping material?
    • D
      donna82Nov 21, 2025
      If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump isn't pumping material or has low output, consider these possibilities: * There might be an air lock. Open the air valve on the gun. * The mix could be too thick. Add water to thin the material and use the Material Thickness Gauge. * There may be loose fittings. Check and retighten all fittings. * The gun could be plugged. Remove the gun from the hose and clean it. * The RotoFlex HD Pump may be worn out. Replace the hose. * The pump might be cold, or material frozen in the pump. Move the pump to a warm room and allow it to warm up, or run hot water through the sprayer. * The air system might have leaks. Remove the shroud and check for air leaks. * There may be a loose wire. Remove the shroud and examine the wiring. * There might be no air...
