Why is my Graco XM PFP system running erratically?
- M
  Michael BrownAug 22, 2025
  Your Graco Paint Sprayer system may be running erratically due to several reasons: * Clogged air filter(s). Clean or replace the element(s). * Undersized air supply hoses. Replace them with appropriate sized hoses. * Undersized air compressor. Use a larger air compressor. * Undersized air supply pressure tank. Use a larger pressure tank. * Inlet air pressure gauge drops below 50 psi (0.35 MPa, 3.5 bar) while spraying. See solutions above for system runs erratically problem. * A and/or B air motor has ice. Open air motor de-ice bleed air control, allow ice to melt, dry or heat the compressed air, or use a smaller tip and lower flow rate. * Metering pump is binding.

Why does my Graco XM PFP Paint Sprayer have a poor spray pattern?
- L
  ljonesAug 25, 2025
  A poor spray pattern in your Graco Paint Sprayer can be caused by: * Fluid pressure being too low. Increase the metering pump pressure. * Fluid temperature being too low. Increase the fluid temperature. * Spray tip being dirty or worn. Relieve pressure, then clean or replace the tip, following the gun manual instructions. * Mix manifold, mixer, swivel, gun, or hoses partially plugged or too restrictive. Inspect parts for cured material. Clean or replace, or use larger hoses and mixer.

  Amber BurnsAug 27, 2025
  If the fluid valve is leaking at the rod of your Graco Paint Sprayer, it is likely due to loose or worn packings. Try tightening the packing nut. If the leak persists, replace the packings.

What to do if my Graco XM PFP Paint Sprayer material does not cure consistently?
- M
  morgandavisAug 28, 2025
  Inconsistent curing of material in your Graco Paint Sprayer can stem from several factors: * Incorrect ratio settings. Verify the correct ratio is set and set by volume. * Improper material mixing. Test the metering pump and ensure the mixer is clean; flush if needed. * Material not properly conditioned before adding to the sprayer. Ensure you mix the material thoroughly. * Insufficient integration hose. Add more integration hose. * Select “fast dosing” in setup.

What to do if I receive a ratio alarm while using a remote mix manifold after a significant change in pressure on my Graco XM PFP?
- L
  Leonard ConleySep 1, 2025
  If you receive a ratio alarm while using a remote mix manifold after a significant pressure change on your Graco Paint Sprayer: * Pressurize outlet hoses in manual A/B pump mode, then start spray mode, because A and B hoses may not fill to the correct pressure ratio simultaneously, increasing spray time to balance pressure. * Change pressure slowly while spraying.

What to do if my Graco XM PFP has a low flow rate?
- G
  gregory74Sep 2, 2025
  A low flow rate in your Graco Paint Sprayer might be due to: * Air supply hose being too small or too long. Use a 3/4 in. minimum ID air supply hose. * Inadequate air supply. Use a larger CFM compressor. * Air pressure to metering pumps being too low. Increase metering pump air pressure. * Spray tip being too small. Relieve pressure and install a larger tip, following the gun manual instructions. * Mix manifold, mixer, swivel, gun, or hoses partially plugged or too restrictive. Inspect parts for cured material. Clean or replace, or use larger hoses and mixer.

What to do if I receive a ratio alarm after starting in spray mode while using a remote mix manifold on my Graco Paint Sprayer?
- C
  Catherine DillonSep 4, 2025
  If you receive a ratio alarm after starting in spray mode while using a remote mix manifold on your Graco Paint Sprayer, it may be because A and B hoses do not fill to the correct pressure ratio simultaneously, increasing spray time to balance pressure. Pressurize outlet hoses in manual A/B pump mode, then start spray mode.
