SOLUTION (S)

 

  

Unscrew cap on bottom of spray pistol, push out brass spindle and replace the o-

rings and washer.   

PROBLEM  4     “B”   

The sprayer will not pressurize 

– you pump but no pressure is built up – the unit 

only sprays when you pump.   

CAUSE (S)

 

  

The pump module (tube) has lost the air pressure head.  All the air has escaped 

from the top of the pump module due to improperly tightened siphon, nut, and 
hose assembly.  The washer that comes with the siphon, nut, and hose assembly 
has deteriorated and is no longer sealing properly 2. Split or cracked pump 
module.   

SOLUTION (S)   

Empty sprayer of spraying solution.  Unscrew cap (nut) from the top of pump 

module and remove.  Turn sprayer up side down in order to empty pump module, 
be careful not to lose the stainless steel ball inside pump module. Once pump 
module is empty, put stainless steel ball back inside pump module and place 
siphon tube back in pump module, tighten cap (nut) with wrench provided.  Make 
sure it is very tight.  Unit should be ready to operate. 2. Tighten the nut at the top 
of the pump module with the small wrench provided. 3. If cap is tightened, 
replace washer in siphon nut hose assembly. 4. If pump module is cracked 
replace with spare parts available on our website.
