Problem Cause Solution
Motor is hot and runs intermittently. Determine if sprayer was operated
at high pressure with small tips,
which causes low motor RPM and
excessive heat build up
Decrease pressure setting or
increase tip size.
Be sure ambient temperature where
sprayer is located is no more than
90°F and sprayer is not located in
direct sun
Move sprayer to shaded, cooler
area if possible.
