Introduction and Initial Checks

this is Krista had a whole painter here on home improvement how to's today we're going to show you how to troubleshoot an airless sprayer that's not priming BAM alright so here we are today I was rolling balls with our Draco 395 we were using the pressure roller and suddenly the thing just stopped working no more pressure and it was cycling like it lost its prime walked over here the sprayer simple little troubleshooting tips just I thought I just lost its prime for some reason it was gonna just hit the prime reprime it and away I go and then the thing didn't work so we're gonna walk you through some of the troubleshooting process now we haven't even fixed this thing I called done over here got journeyman John here and we're gonna just go walk you through the steps that we would go through troubleshooting this airless sprayer right here after it it's not primed and one of the first things I did I once a twin prime just by flipping the prime knob down and flipping it back up it wouldn't build pressure back up so it was lacking pressure I thought maybe the intake tube right here would be clogged with some paint film maybe that was in the paint which we we just call it dirty paint so I lifted up the intake tube and there was a few little chunks of paint on this intake tube but I was thinking maybe there's gonna be something completely covering the intake tube where it couldn't suck up paint and I looked at the end of the prime plane just make sure nothing's on the prime thing right on the prime tube where paint would come out and just make sure no nothing was obstructing both of those tubes and nothing was obstructing them and so now we gotta begin looking at the sprayer you got any thoughts John you
