PUMP SYSTEM
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Pump (18006) running (quietly or
weak), with no or very little pressure to
floor or hand tool spray tips.
1. Defective Diode. NOTE: The Diode
controls which direction the piston
pumps. If the Diode is defective, even a
new Pump will not work.
1. TEST: Test the Pump using the
Pump Motor Test Cable (7201). If the
Pump runs normally, replace the Diode
Assembly (10409). The Diode
Assembly is the Black Wire connected
to the Pump and brown wire next to the
yellow wire on the 8 Wire Cable
Assembly (18206). NOTE: Use only
the Pump Test Cable (7201) to test the
Pump. There is a Diode inline on this
cable. ALSO: Over time the test Diode
may need replacing.
Pump running at full strength, very little
or no pressure to floor or hand tool
spray tips.
1. Empty Solution Tank. Check if
cleaning solution is still in removable
Bucket. This is a most common
mistake. The solution must be poured
from the Bucket into the Solution Tank.
1. Pour solution from the Bucket into
the Solution Tank.
2. Plug is not connected to the Brass
Coupler. NOTE: Plug may only appear
to be connected to the Coupler.
2. Pull down on the middle of the
Coupler (10037) sleeve. Without letting
up on sleeve, insert the Plug (10038).
Release the coupler sleeve. The
sleeve must snap back into position.
Give the hose a tug to ensure
connection.
3. Clogged Pump Filter.
3. Clean the Pump Filter (10044). Filter
is threaded to the 45D Brass Elbow
(18211) connecting the Pump to the
Solution Tank. NOTE: Reinstall the
45D Elbow and Filter carefully to avoid
cross threading the Solution Tank.
Apply new Teflon Tape to Elbow
Threads prior to reinstalling to avoid
leaking.
4. Clogged Spray Tips.
4. Remove and clean Spray Tips
(10242).
