If your sprayer has a dual speed or variable speed control, turn the speed down to low. Try using the smaller, tip to reduce the amount of material flowing out of the gun.
You most likely have a tip clog. To clear the clog, twist the handle 180 degrees and pull the trigger into a waste area. Twist the handle back to the spray position.
The best way to reduce tip clogs is to strain you paint of the larger debris.
The thermal overload has tripped. It will reset on its own. Let the sprayer cool down for 20-30 minutes and try it again.
You are moving too fast. Try slowing down your arm movement. If you have a sprayer with speed control, switch to High or increase the speed setting to the highest setting.
Try moving closer to the surface and slower. If you continue to see lines in your pattern, add a small amount of water of solvent, depending upon your material, reprime and spray.
Debris is caught in the sprayer. Try reversing the spray tip 180 degrees to see is paint can be sprayed. If it can, turn the spray tip back to the spray position to spray. Turn the sprayer upside down with the cup and strainer removed. Pour hot water into the inlet of the sprayer if you sprayed water based materials on last project, or mineral spirits if you sprayed oil-based materials on the last project. Let sit for 5 minutes and then remove the spray tip and spray the material out the front of the sprayer (make sure your Prime/Spray Valve is at Spray). If these steps do not resolve the problem, contact Graco Technical Support at 1-888-541-9788.
The most common reason for your sprayer to not work on next use is that the front guard has been removed from the sprayer during cleaning. Removing the guard will cause damage or missing parts when it is reassembled. Please call Graco Technical Support for help replacing the part at 1-888-541-9788.
Turn it upside down, if it sprays then there is still air in the cup. Purge the air through the VacuValve cap.
Check the spray tip to insure it is properly installed and pushed all the way into the housing.
Sprayer is working properly.
The issue is resolved. Strain your paint to avoid further issues.
Flush the sprayer with hot soapy water or 100% mineral spirits.
If this still does not resolve the issue the fluid pump may need to be replaced.
