How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening the handle assembly.
- Inspect trigger mechanism: Open the handle housing and check the trigger lever and linkage for cracks or dislodged parts. Replace broken components.
- Check valve actuation: Ensure the trigger properly operates the solution valve or microswitch. Adjust the linkage if there is excessive free play.
- Test microswitch: If your model uses an electrical trigger, test the trigger microswitch for continuity when pressed. Replace if faulty.
- Reassemble and test: Refit the handle covers and test spray function with water.
