If the sprayer does not spray, try the steps below:
Make certain the sprayer has a fully charged battery installed.
Make certain the Spray Tip is not plugged. See Clear Tip Clogs in
your sprayer manual for instructions on how to reverse and easily
clear a clog.
Verify Cup Lid is tight. An under tightened Cup Lid will allow air
to seep into the FlexLiner and cause a loss of prime.
Make certain the Cup Lid is properly threaded to the Cup Support.
If threads are visible below the Cup Lid when tight, then the Cup
Lid is cross-threaded.
Make certain there is no damage, such as a crease, on the top
surface of the FlexLiner. If damaged, DO NOT USE.
Make certain there is only one FlexLiner in the Cup Support.
Multiple FlexLiners nested tightly together can go unnoticed.
Repeat START UP step 5 to ensure all air is evacuated from
the FlexLiner.
If necessary, replace VacuValve cap. Two new VacuValve caps came
with your sprayer.
If you feel static shocks while spraying you are
likely not adequately grounded to either the
sprayer or to the floor. Try the following:
Your sprayer has an in-handle grounding plate that will ground your
hand to the sprayer while spraying.
If you cannot contact the in-handle grounding plate, such as when
wearing gloves, plug the wrist grounding strap into the ground port
on the battery shield and place the wrist strap on bare skin of wrist
or arm. Tighten to get a good ground connection.
Thick soled shoes can inhibit grounding. Change to different shoes
or add the included heel grounding strap to the outside of one shoe.
Instructions for use are included with the heel grounding strap.
See Troubleshooting in your sprayer manual for more information.
