TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	RESOLUTION
Sprayer Leaks	Loose connections: Typically leaks occur when the

connectors are not screwed on tightly. Check all the connections to ensure that they are screwed on tight.
(If this is not the reason, continue diagnosis checking the other options below)| Tighten the connections that are loose by screwing them tightly.
Missing or compromised washers:
It is possible that the washers preventing leaks at the connections are dry, cracked or missing causing the leaks. Unscrew the connection and inspect the state of the washers inside.| Replace worn out, cracked, or missing washers using the spare ones provided with the package.

Sprayer not spraying (or) Spraying weakly

| Blocked Nozzle: If any solid matter enters the pump system (sand or dirt, for example), it can build up at certain points and cause a reduction or complete loss in spraying pressure. If the sprayer is not spraying, check the nozzle tip for any clogs or blockages.| If your nozzle is clogged, remove it from the trigger and try to clean it out and remove any solids in the lines that may be causing the block.
If the nozzle tip is damaged or clogged to the point where it cannot be cleaned, it should be replaced altogether.
Check Pump: Remove the pump and place the bottom of the pump against the flat palm of the hand, wearing rubber gloves, especially if a chemical is present. Pumping the pump should result in pressure being felt coming out of the black non return valve of the pump. If no pressure is felt, then the sprayer isn’t getting pressure.| Check, lubricate and replace faulty/missing/dry plunger O ring or leaking non return valve.
PROBLEM| POSSIBLE CAUSE| RESOLUTION
---|---|---
| Check connections: The sprayer will lose pressure if the connections are not secured or if the washers are dry, cracked or missing. Check the connection points have good washers and they are secure in place.| Check and replace ineffective washers using the spares provided with the package. Make sure that the connections are screwed tightly in place after replacing the washers.
Sprayer does not stop when Trigger is released| Grit/Dirt in the ON/OFF control: This could be caused by Dirt or Grit in the trigger mechanism preventing the full release of the trigger. Check the trigger to see if there is dirt/grit lodged under it.| Gently lift the trigger and clean thoroughly using cloth or water as appropriate. This should restore the full function of the trigger.
Sprayer does not stop when Trigger is released| Air in Lance: Sometimes, air gets trapped in the lance, causing the liquid to continue to dribble even after the trigger is released.| To remove any air, hold the lance in a vertical position pointing away from you, toggle the trigger ON and OFF until the air is discharged, then continue spraying.
Washers need frequent changing| Sprayer left with residual pressure| After each use, use the pressure release valve to vent any residual pressure before storing.
Chemicals in the sprayer| After using sprayer to spray chemicals, clear the chemical from the sprayer, fill with water and spray to get rid of the chemicals such as weed killers. Not only will this mean you keep your sprayer in working order but will reduce the risk of forgetting the product you were using last time and potentially putting a weed killer onto a plant you do not want to kill!
Sprayer left in the sun| The sun dries out the washers causing it crack and/or compromise their performance.
