If your Graco Paint Sprayer system detects unexpected pump movement or fluid flow, it's likely because the recirculation valve or dosing valve is open or leaking for more than five seconds. Close or repair the recirculation valve, and run the Pump Test.
Why is the pressure low on my Graco Paint Sprayer?
If the fluid pressure is below 1000 psi (7 MPa, 70 bar) for spray mode, or below 1500 psi (10.3 MPa, 103 bar) for test modes, increase the main air regulator to increase the pressure in your Graco Paint Sprayer.
Why is my Graco XM pump cavitating?
Pump cavitation in your Graco Paint Sprayer, indicated by dives more than 1/2 of the stroke, can occur for several reasons. It may be caused by no fluid or a closed valve, material that is too cold or thick, a pump inlet check valve not closing, the feed pump not providing material, or a plugged inlet strainer. Refill the supply and open the inlet valve. Increase material temperature to reduce viscosity. Clear debris from the check valve. Check the feed pump (if used).
What to do if Graco XM Paint Sprayer underdoses B component?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer system is not delivering enough B component, there are several potential causes. The B dosing valve might not be opening, the B mix manifold valve could be closed, or the pump filter on the B side might be plugged. Check for an air signal to the valve, and open the green mix manifold valve.
What to do if Graco XM overdoses B component?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer system is delivering too much B component, it could be due to several reasons. The B dosing valve might not be closing, or there might be no B restriction at the mix manifold. Also, the pump filter could be plugged on the A side, or the inlet air might be dropping below 80 psi while spraying, causing the B dosing valve to malfunction. Perform a Pump Test to check for leakage. Increase B Restriction by turning B restrictor stem clockwise.
How to troubleshoot inconsistent paint curing with Graco XM?
Inconsistent paint curing with your Graco Paint Sprayer can stem from several issues: an incorrectly set ratio, improper material mixing, poorly conditioned material, or insufficient integration hose. To address this, ensure the correct ratio is set by volume. Also, test the pump, and ensure the mixer is clean by flushing it if needed. Mix the material thoroughly before adding it to the sprayer, and add more integration hose if necessary. Also, select 'fast dosing' in setup.
How to fix high pressure on Graco Paint Sprayer?
If the fluid pressure is above the maximum in your Graco Paint Sprayer, decrease the main air regulator to reduce the pressure.
What to do if Graco Paint Sprayer pump runaway?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer pump runs away, exceeding 80 cycles per minute for 10 seconds, it's likely due to a lack of material in the pump or lines, or a lack of fluid restriction. To resolve this, refill the material in the tank or hoses. Additionally, consider installing a fluid tip to provide the necessary restriction.
What to do if Graco XM Paint Sprayer fluid valves are leaking?
If the fluid valves on your Graco Paint Sprayer are leaking, the cause may be loose or worn packings. Try tightening the packing nut. If the leak persists, replace the packings.
What to do if Graco Paint Sprayer does not start?
If your Graco Paint Sprayer doesn't start when you press the start button, the issue might be a faulty start or stop switch, or a problem with the wiring harness. Check the continuity of both the start and stop switches, as well as the wiring harness. The start switch should be normally open, and the stop switch should be normally closed.
