Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem 1. Perform pressure relief procedure, page 10, before you check or repair the metered dispense valve. 2. Verify that the pump, other valves, and controls are operating properly. Cause Solution Battery dead icon is present. Batteries are low. Replace batteries, page 35. Display does not activate Batteries are dead. Replace batteries, page 35. Electronic control is malfunctioning. Replace the electronic bezel assembly.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Metered dispense valve leaks from cover/control Poor seal at metering cover chamber Contact your Graco distributor for repair or replacement. Metered dispense valve leaks from twist lock nozzle. Twist lock nozzle has a damaged seal. Replace nozzle. See Install the Nozzle, page 12. It is important to distinguish between the two causes of this problem. A new nozzle will NOT correct a fluid leak caused by a faulty valve. Valve has damaged or obstructed seals.
Error Codes Error Codes Error codes are listed below. Even in an error condition the unit keeps track of the amount dispensed. Whenever an error code is displayed, you must end the dispense.
