  If the Magnum Paint Sprayer pump won't prime, check these potential causes and solutions: * Ensure the Prime/Spray valve is set to PRIME, not SPRAY. * Clean any debris from the inlet screen. * Reposition the suction tube so it's immersed in the paint. * Press the pump priming button twice to dislodge a stuck inlet valve check ball. * Unscrew the outlet valve and clean the assembly if the outlet valve check ball is stuck. * Tighten the suction tube connection and inspect for cracks or vacuum leaks. * Clean or replace the drain tube if the Prime/Spray valve is clogged. If the drain valve remains clogged, return the sprayer to an authorized service center.

Why does my Magnum Paint Sprayer sprayed paint run down the wall?

  If sprayed paint from your Magnum Paint Sprayer runs down the wall or sags, it could be due to applying the paint too thickly. Try moving the gun faster. Alternatively, use a tip with a smaller hole size, a wider fan, or move the gun further away from the surface.
