UNIT AND PUMP*
1. Low mud flow
• Check amp switch. It is always better when possible to run the pump on 20 amp rather than 15.
• You should not use less than 12G cord and no longer than 200’.
• Compound consistency is important; the thicker the material the slower the compound flow.
• Make sure pump has been properly primed (always when filling the hopper for the first time, put a small
amount of joint compound under the filter screen to start suction).
• Make sure filter screen is not clogged.
• Check pump speed control. Remember the range that you set the speed control at the pump will be the range
that you will have at the valve transmitter.
• Using lightweight joint compound may slow down material flow.
2. Blowing breakers
• Move amp switch to 15 amp position or move cord to a different outlet.
3. Transmitters not working
• Check batteries and battery connections.
• Make sure that the pump has learned that particular transmitter (transmitters must be learned within 10’ of
the pump).
• Do not submerge transmitters in water.

MAINTENANCE*
1. Pump remaining compound into a bucket via the priming hose.
2. Add clean water to hopper and wipe down inside of hopper with brush or sponge.
3. Turn directional valve to hose position and pump compound out of hose into bucket until you see water flowing.
4. Pump remaining dirty water out via the priming hose then run more clean water through the system following
the above procedure in steps 1 - 3.
5. Pump remaining water out then add and leave a small amount of Graco® Pump Armor into the bottom of the
hopper.
6. Lubricate Z-swivel with Ames® Bazooka® Oil.
