Basic electrical problems Motor overheated Allow motor to cool for 30 minutes. Retry.
Electrical outlet is damaged Reset building circuit breaker or replace building
fuse. Try another outlet.
Check electric supply with volt meter. Meter must
read 200-260V AC. If voltage is too high, do not
plug sprayer in until outlet is corrected.
Control board leads are
improperly fastened or
improperly mated
Replace any loose terminals. Make sure all leads
and harnesses are firmly connected.
Check pressure control harness connection on
front side of drive housing.
Clean control board terminals. Securely reconnect
leads.
Motor brushes are worn. Check length of BOTH brushes (brushes do not
wear evenly on both sides of the motor). Brush
length must be 6.4mm (0.25 in). If brushes are
worn replace motor using Motor Kit, page 18.
Motor armature commutator
damaged
Check for burn spots, gouges and extreme
roughness. Have motor shop resurface
commutator if possible, or replace motor using
Motor Kit, page 18.
Motor armature shorting Check for shorts using armature tester (growler)
or perform spin test, Motor Diagnostic, page 19.
If shorts are evident, replace motor using Motor
Kit, page 18.
Control board damaged.
CAUTION: Do not perform
control board diagnostics until
you have determined the
armature is good. A bad
armature can burn out a good
control board.
See Control Board Diagnostics, page 19.
Replace control board if damaged using Control
Board Kit, page 18.
