1. Check displacement pump connecting rod pin (20). See page 16. Replace pin, if missing. Be sure retainer spring (35) is fully in groove all around connecting rod. See page 16.
2. Check for frozen or hardened material in the pump (39). Thaw. See the NOTE below. Plug in sprayer and turn on. Slowly increase pressure setting to see if motor starts.
3. Be sure crank in drive housing rotates; plug in sprayer and turn on briefly to check. Turn off and unplug sprayer. Check drive housing assembly for damage and replace if necessary. See page 24.

1. Determine if sprayer was operated at high pressure with small tips, which causes low motor RPM and excessive heat build up. Decrease pressure setting or increase tip size.
2. Be sure ambient temperature where sprayer is located is no more than 90 _ F and sprayer is not located in direct sun. Move sprayer to shaded, cooler area, if possible.
3. Determine in sprayer was turned on, pressurized, but not operating for long periods of time. Turn off sprayer whenever you stop spraying for a while and relieve fluid pressure.

1. 1. Check digital display for error codes 1. If an error code (E=0X) is displayed, go to page 18 for error code diagnostics. If not con- tinue.
2. 2. Make sure digital display is connected. If noth- ing is displayed, check power cord, power switch and all power connections for continuity. Check building circuit power. 2. Tighten any loose power connections. Re- place power switch, power cord or extension cords if damaged. Reset circuit breaker if tripped.
3. 3. Check pressure control knob setting. Motor will not run if pressure control knob is at minimum setting. 3. Increase pressure setting
4. 4. With drain valve open and pressure control knob set to maximum, check if there is a light blinking next to either psi , bar , or MPa a. If light is blinking, control board is commanding motor to run and prob- lem is most likely motor or motor wiring 4. Based on results of this test, investigate for possible wiring, motor, control, transducer or potentiometer problems in the following steps
