What happens here

After clearing the bottom ball, reattach the fluid hose by pushing it back onto the connection and hand-tightening the retaining nut. For the upper fluid section ball, you'll need to remove a separate hose connection, similar to the bottom one. Locate the retaining nut on the upper fluid hose and loosen it with a hammer tap or channel locks if needed, then unscrew by hand. Remove the hose and inspect the upper check ball for debris. Again, use a small flathead screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to carefully remove any obstructions, ensuring not to damage the ball or housing. Check for free movement of the ball. Once clear, reattach the upper fluid hose and hand-tighten its retaining nut.

Goal: Ensure both check balls are clear and fluid hoses are securely reattached.

the ball and the outer housing. Now we've checked cleared out our ball. We're going to put our hose back up inside there. If you want to check up inside the next fluid section, I just take a hammer, loose, loosen the next fluid [music] section housing. That's going to come off. Now, you can actually see that ball completely. If you want to take that section off right there, look around that ball. Make sure there's no ruts, pits, make sure it's in good shape. You just stick that back on. Now, you can tilt it back. Look up inside there. You can see the next ball. There's another ball. Make sure there's no debris in that ball either. Usually, it's going to get caught in this one. This is the one that's pretty typical. It' be get caught in and cause your priming problems. I'm just going to screw that back on. A lot easier to do when this thing's clean. Start having that problem when it's loaded with paint. Gets a little messy. You're going to have to have a water hose. clean all the paint that pours out of there and clean your parts off before you uh to get it fixed. But we run into this problem probably about once every three months or so. So, we're just going to take that to tighten it back up from here. We're going to put our hose back on. It has a little rim right there that it has to go all the way up into. Use our hammer just to tap it up in there [bell] Now our repair is good to go. Sprayer is ready [music] to use.
