Possible Causes

Low solution level in tank, Loose suction hose to pump inlet, Cracked tank outlet fitting, Blocked tank pickup filter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the machine before inspecting the tank and pump connections.

  • Top up solution: Fill the solution tank to at least half capacity and ensure the lid is properly fitted.
  • Check pickup filter: Remove and clean the filter or strainer at the tank outlet. Rinse until water flows freely.
  • Inspect inlet hose: Check the hose from the tank to the pump for cracks or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Bleed air: After reassembly, run the pump with the trigger open until the spray becomes steady and the noise reduces.
