5. Intake valve ball is not seating properly. Clean intake valve (see pump manual).
6. Intake valve ball is packed with mate- rial. Clean intake valve (see pump manual).
7. Engine speed is too low. Increase throttle setting (see operation man- ual).
8. Clutch is worn or damaged. Adjust or replace clutch. Page 17.
9. Pressure setting is too low. Increase pressure (see operation manual).
10. Fluid filter, tip filter or tip is clogged or dirty. Clean filter (see gun manual).
11. Large pressure drop in hose with heavy materials. Use larger diameter hose and/or reduce overall length of hose. Use of more than 100 ft of 1/4 in. hose significantly reduces performance of sprayer. Use 3/8 in. hose for optimum perfor- mance (50 ft minimum).

9. Electrical power not energizing clutch field Check wiring connections. See page 20. Reference control board diagnostics. See page 13. With pressure control switch ON and pressure turned to MAXIMUM, use a test light to check for power between clutch terminals on control board. Remove black clutch wires from control board and measure resistance across wires. At 70 _ F, the resistance must be between 1.7 ± 0.2 Ω ; if not, re- place pinion housing. Have pressure control checked by authorized Gra- co dealer.
