Solution
a) Adjust the ball valve in the proper
position.
b) If it is closed, open it.
If it is damaged, replace it.
c) If the compressor does not supply
enough air pressure, replace it with one of
greater capacity.
a) The paint circuit is obstructed from the
pump inlet to the fluid pipe fitting.
a1) The paint course, from fluid hose fitting
to the gun nozzle, is blocked. Check for the
obstructed point and remove the clogging;
this inconvenience is usually caused by the
obstruction of the gun filter.
