Troubleshooting Your Unit
If your unit is not operating properly, try using these troubleshooting tips:
Issue Pump is cycling improperly
Foam comes out wet, no matter where the needle valve is positioned
Sporadic wet foam
Sporadic dry foam The unit operates at a reduced pressure Battery will not
completely charge Battery discharges too quickly Power button LED slow
flashing Power button LED fast flashing Battery/charger fault light is
flashing
Solution
· Verify pump did not fail from chemical attack, or electrical malfunction. ·
Ensure proper chemical and concentration are being used. · Inspect suction
line and strainer for debris or damage. · Needle valve may be open too far.
Close and readjust the needle valve.
· The check valve may need to be replaced. · Verify correct chemical
concentration is being used. · If only the fluid pump is running, the electric
air compressor may need to be
replaced. · Check if the wadding is plugged. Remove and inspect it by
following the
instructions below: 1. Verify the unit does not have the battery installed or
the power on. 2. Relieve all stored pressure in the unit by opening the ball
valve, or squeezing the trigger handle. 3. Unthread the discharge wand from
the ball valve or spray gun. 4. Remove and inspect the wadding from inside the
wand. Note: Ensure tubing stays inside of wand when removing wadding. 5.
Replace wadding if necessary. Attach wand back onto the ball valve or spray
gun.
· Verify correct chemical concentration is being used. · Ensure discharge hose
is not kinked or damaged. · Inspect wadding. Replace wadding if it is clogged.
· If wadding is next to spray tip, replace tubing inside the discharge wand.
· Inspect suction line and strainer for debris or damage. · If pump is cycling
improperly or has failed, replace the pump.
· Inspect suction line and strainer for debris or damage. Clean or replace as
needed. To prevent damage to the unit, the strainer must always be used.
· Inspect wadding. Replace wadding if necessary.
· Place a secondary battery on the charger. If the secondary battery charges
as expected, it indicates that the initial battery is faulty and should be
replaced.
· If the problem continues to occur, the charger is bad. Replace battery
charger.
· Battery has reached life expectancy. Replace battery.
· Dead battery, charge battery.
· Compressor startup failure. Reset with a power cycle. · A faulty pump or
compressor may need to be replaced.
· Refer to the separate manuals supplied with the battery and charger for more
information regarding indicator and fault lights.
