Just took mine out after only using it once, had the same problem. Did what you did and WALA!!! It works again! Great video. I would recommend a different sprayer, wasn’t too impressed with this one.
Dude!!! You are incredible and amazing. I woke up this morning to use my sprayer and same issue as what you encountered. I did exactly what you did but used WD-40 instead cause I was too lazy to get the other oil. And it's running great again. You totally made my day!! Thanks for uploading this!!!
Glad you liked my video! Good job getting your unit fixed! 👍
Thanks to your including it won't prime with no spray hose you helped me so much, I had my whole sprayer ripped apart, all I needed was a hose and a gun hooked up thanks man!
This worked! Thank you! Mine sat for almost 4 years broken, then I found your video and it fixed it. Thank you :)
Great to hear! Thanks for watching my video. 👍
OMG! Bought this thing 5 years ago. Never used it. Super bummed it didn't work.
Tried this and it works!! Thank you!!
Glad you got your unit working. Nice! 👍
Your fix was spot on. I am back up and running or should I say spraying!! Thank you Thank you. Thank you
Thanks for watching my video. Best luck with your project. 👍
Thank your for showing how to rescue the air paint sprayer!!!
Thanks for the videos... I bought one of these last year, built a small cart for it and then it rained every time I tried to use it. Will be using it for the first time this morning.
+shootgp I will suggest you also get a 20" spray gun extension pole. Without the need to going up and down the ladder it will save you a lot of effort and time. good luck with your project.
Hypergauge do harbor freight sell the 20 inch extension pole also?
Thanks for putting up both of these videos on the sprayer. We plan on doing some home renovation this year and I've been thinking about purchasing it. One tip I read someone else mention for storage is to use Graco Pump Armor.
+RoloisRight Thank you. I am glad you like these videos. I end up just using the Husky compressor oil for storage since I have it handy. My next painting project is in fall for my mom's house. I will report back to see if there is any problem of the sprayer. So far I like this sprayer a lot. it paid for itself already.
I used the Grayco Pump Armour and stored over year and the internal spring and ball valves still got stuck and gummed up. Had to take apart and clean out and all is working fine now.
My problem was exactly the same as yours. Your video helped me corrected the problem quickly. Thank you very much!
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
You just saved me $200! I had this exact same issue. I always make sure to clean the whole system really well so I was perplexed as to why it wouldn't work after I used it a year ago. Unfortunately, just adding oil didn't work for me (no air bubbles and the level didn't drop over time). So, I put a piece of plastic sheeting over the inlet hole and zip-tied it on tight so that it would hold pressure. Then I put the spring and ball-bearing back in and screwed the piece back on. The process of screwing it on created pressure and since the inlet hole was covered the oil was forced into the pump. As soon as I flipped it to prime it shot the oil out of the outlet port and I knew I was back in business. I had actually already purchased a replacement one and this was my last ditch attempt before opening it up. Thank you!
I had to clean the other outlet connected to the spray hose. That had a lot of of crud, water minerals.
So, we need an oil anemia device for these airless devices.... A garden hose hookup is what I use for my other airlesses. It is a shame these do not have one. But I do wonder if diameter is right for a cut off garden hose. Might need to cut off an expandable if not. Hose clamp, or zip tie.
This worked for me. I needed to clean out twice before it started working. Thank you for posting.
Thanks! My sprayer had been sitting for 5 years and wouldn't prime. The ball and spring were worse than yours, but the oil made prime immediately. Great tip.
Glad it helped! 👍Thanks for watching my video!
Thank you. Took a few tries but worked. My model had a pin with no ball barren so had to be wait for the oil to bubble down . I used duct tape and my garden-hose to prime and flush as well.
Thanks for watching my video. I am glad your system is back on. Good luck with your project.
My pump didnt squirt the oil out like yours but I reattached everything and tried to prime anyway. I had to keep pushing and holding the pressure release button to finally get it to prime. Much appreciated!
My guess is you have an air leak somewhere. Suggest you should try checking an isolate each parts to locate the problem. Good luck! 👍
Thanks, sir. I have the same problem with my K&B. Used once a year ago.
I'll use compressor oil tomorrow and give it a go.
Thanks for watching my video. Good luck!
Thank you my friend
You solved my problem
I appreciate 🙏
Thank you for watching my video. I am glad it helped.
You ROCK man, you saved me from having to go guy a whole new one took like 3 minutes. And YES it was my fault for not oiling it. I always say I'll do it when I get home and then you get busy. It's a great piece of equipment for the price, just take the extra few minutes to take care of it right!
Right on. Take care your tool and it will take care you. 👍
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I hope it works for me too.
Best luck with your repair. In case you need it, you can find the diagram here manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/62000-62999/62915.pdf Thanks for watching my video.
Thank you!!!! This worked! You're my new best friend 😍
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching my video!👍
Same problem with mine. Your fix worked great for me. Thanks!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching my video!👍
Great video, thanks! Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped! 👍Thanks for watching my video!
Because of this video, by this most excellent man, I followed instructions that allowed me to complete my project. My old "paint gun", I thought was toast . . Renewed!
So glad you have fixed your sprayer.👍Thanks for watching my video!
Thank you so much I was ready to throw my sprayer to the garbage God bless you
Thank you for watching my videos. I am glad it worked for you.
I just found your video, you just saved me some money. I did exactly what you did now it works fine Thanks.
Glad it helped! Good job getting your fixed! 👍
How did you remived the silver vall and the spring?
@hecthernandez1 It fell right out and I put some pump oil in it that I use for my pressure washer. It started working. I was fixing to go buy another one.
@hecthernandez1 I took the part off that had the ball all spring in it and they fell out when I turned it upside down
Awesome advice it worked right away
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching my video! 👍
I've been using mine for staining a LOT of a large fence. Got about 10 hours on it already. Agree with the change of tip size. The absolute key to any sprayer using soap and water for cleanup is to make sure not to store it with water anywhere in the system. The 'recommended' Grayco Pump Armor is NOT necessary. Instead, use any kind of automotive anti-freeze. It's cheap and coats all the parts inside with an anti corrosive. Mix it down to 50/50 if you want. After hose is clear from cleanup, disconnect that and the gun. Prime with anti-freeze then switch to spray. As soon as you see it coming out, shut it down. That's it.
Also recommend taking the gun completely apart - clean really good with soap and water. Let it dry or force compressed air thru all parts of the gun. As you put it back together, I use WD-40 and squirt it everywhere -- inside, all parts, tip, spray needle, screen filter, trigger - everywhere. Then store in a Ziploc bag with a final spray of WD-40 and seal the bag.
And, yes, this is a good sprayer for the price -- I've had zero issues with mine. When I'm done with it (even for just a couple of days) I'll 'pickle' it as above. All hoses look brand new after each use -- takes less than an hour to fully clean it for short or long term storage.
whats the model replacement internal filter for the spray gun? I found an older graco 288749 that looks exactly like it with a spring and white color tip on one end and blue on the other end, but then it seems it has been replaced by a new design w/o the spring and has blue color tips on both ends. i also heard the screen is for latex paints so can i remove the filter for water base paints even tho i prescreen my paint before it enters the pump?
Sorry but my time is worth more than that sprayer
I have been using Titans since 1990. Do not use antifreeze, nor crap Graco sells. Instead, store with any petroleum based oil, and you will not have problems. Often, overnight, best to just keep it in the paint rather than to rinse with water. But the trick is to store with oil, at least in the pump part. Be sure to flush with water before dropping it in paint again. .... Cleaning gun filter will not affect pump performance, just reduce the necessary psi and reduce tip clogs, which is irrelevant to this video.
Thank you this helps God bless you
Thank you for watching my video.
That is great! Thanks!
👍 Thanks for watching my video.
Thank you. It worked 👍
Good job fixing your sprayer! 👍Thanks for watching my video.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my video! 👍
Worked for me. Thanks. Used veggie oil as I didn’t have compressor oil
Great job to get it working again. 👍 Just a reminder, veggie oil will degrade quickly. You should consider change to proper oil ASAP.
@@HypergaugeDIY thanks. It all I had to get it going. I realize this. Thanks again
thank your video help alout I'm going to try ...SEE IF I GET THIS SPRAYER GOING
Thanks for watching my video. Good luck with your repair.
Good video.....
+Gun ownership is the key
Thanks. Cool screen name.
Excellent video. Thank you for showing how to repair the unit. Compressor oil! Do you use the compressor oil in the sprayer unit, while in storage?
Thanks for watching my video. Yes I do. Here is the link for my video about "Oiling the system before storage" th-cam.com/video/lYqVl2iI1jw/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your project.
Awesome thank u
Glad you like it. Happy Holidays. 👍
worked!
Nice. & Thanks for watching my video. 👍
Thank you for the tip
Thank you for watching my videos.
question...what goes first the steel or the spring? and does it come with a rubber ?
Actually there’s a black plastic 3 prong piece with flat side first then spring slides inside plastic piece then ball-bearing on top or end.
how do you get the gun filter out thru the bottom like it shows in the manual. the harder i pull, the more the spring stretches. i know you got yours out thru the top but i can't get it loose.
I think you may have something stuck inside. Mine came out easily. If you did not clean the gun soon after use, the paint could have dried and you may need to use some solvent to loosen it.
i have not used it yet but will be painting this week. i got the spring to come out but the screen is still in there. r u sure u are removing yours from the bottom?
I think it can come out from either way. In my video, I show you I got it out from the top once I spin the handle open. As mine one come out very easy I don't really remember which way is more easier.
I am having the same problem. How did you get the steel ball out? Mine seems to be stuck, almost glued in, I've tried loosening it with acetone, thinner. It wont budge. The button on the button seems pressed in and stuck.. bought the sprayer used. Was clean outside, but inside was a mess. I've gotten it all clean and clear except this part. It's almost completely disassembled and I cant the ball out.
Sorry to hear that. I am afraid you will need to open up the unit further to clean up or replace some corroded parts. You can find the diagram of the unit here. manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/62000-62999/62915.pdf I will suggest not to use acetone or any kind of corrosive solvent directly in the unit as it could damage the gasket. Good luck with your project.
Just take off the suction screen from the suction hose turn it upright and fill with water replace the screen and prime works everytime for me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. That is one way to try. In my case the likely problem is the dried paint stuck with the ball bearing valve. Without remove it to clean up is likely not going to help.
Same here, 1 lil project
Good luck with your project! Thanks for watching my video! 👍
So I used my machine and stored it for about 4 days. Went to use it with a think brick paint. It sprayed for about 3 minutes than it wouldn't spray. Is paint to thick where it wouldn't go through machine or sprayer?
Try to thin out your paint if it's oil-based then it out with thinner, if it's water-based then it out with water
Check the screen mesh filter in the sprayer handle grip. It gets clogged and needs to be removed to be cleaned properly.
Thanks! Mine will prime, but it's continuously runs when I'm not spraying. Put it up dry 5 months ago, smh!
Sounds like there is a slow leak somewhere, you may want to check the hose, gun and all seals.
Mine too. Runs continuously but still has very low product output.
Runs at one speed, also.
No high/low spray.
It's Prime or On.
I noticed that even when I switch mine to prime there’s still some pressure going into the outlet paint hose. When I switch toggle to spray it does stop any paint from coming out the prime tube. Any of you have this same issue?
This is normal. The way the system works is it builds a slight pressure on the hose and that pressure allows it to push the "paint" out of the prime tube.
Hola para que se oprime el botón rojo. Es que compre uno igual y me podrías decir como lubricar el piston. gracias
Unfortunately I don't know Spanish. From google translate it seems you are asking about the red button. That button is to release the ball bearing valve. But in my case it did not help. I only do the lubrication by putting compressor oil through the intake and let it spray out. I have been doing this every time after used and cleaned. It seems working fine.
Ola una pregunta si pudo agregar lubricante ala esprayadora
@@HypergaugeDIY I removed the red button and now I can’t remember if the spring goes underneath the righting nut or inside. By the way, this didn’t work on mine. Any idea on what else can be wrong? I used it to paint my fence m, washed it really good after I was done than the next day it go on but won’t suck paint.
@@Oshay82 Hopefully your unit is still under warranty. If not, it is likely you need to further dissemble the unit for clean up. you can find the diagram of the unit here manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/62000-62999/62915.pdf You can use it to reference on which part to go which location. Good luck with your repair.
So I've only used this pressure washer one time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
👍Thanks for watching my video!
Same thing with mine after one use. Thanks for uploading this. PS..I think mine was closer to 200 bucks. lol everything is more in california.
Thanks for watching my video. Yeah... things are getting more expensive. Once I started doing the long term storage procedure, there is no more problem with my unit. Strongly recommended to do that.
Mine just stays on and air comes out bottom how do I fix
Hi there! What size socket is needed to remove the nipple? Mine is stuck and won’t unscrew with a wrench.
I used a large adjustable wrench to loosen it. Not hard to do. Good luck 👍
How do you take off the pressure knob
Sorry, I never try to remove that so I don't have the info. You may try to refer to their parts diagram to see if there is an easy way to remove it. Good luck with your project.
Is there a replacement hose that will work on this from another brand?
Joshua Case Just about any standard spray hose will work. I'm using a Graco hose, since I bought the sprayer used and the original hose was clogged.
Have you had problems with the clamp for the mesh screen on the suction tube rusting?
No. mine seems fine.
Where can get the ball ring? Thank you
Thanks for watching my video. If your local hardware store does not have it, I will just call up Harbor Freight for a replacement. Good luck with your project.
donde le coloca el aceite ?
mi maquina si tira pintura con la perilla hacia abajo , pero cuando la pongo para pintar o spray, no funciona. ya le cambie el filtro de la pistola.
Maybe someone can help. I only use mine with water as many detailers are doing. With mine the pump wont shut off .. the pump should only kick on when spraying. Mine keeps going ... any ideas ?
Have you check if there is any leaks? The pump should auto shut off when it reaches the pressure. I will suggest check leaks in valve, connectors, hoses, and spray gun. You may need to take it in for services.

👍 Thanks for watching my video.
Are you still happy with this? Would you buy different now? I'm looking to buy a painter, I'm just a homeowner not a pro, and trying to wisely spend my precious few paint-equipment dollars. Thank You.
I am very happy with it. I personally used two times for my house and my parent's house. A few friends also borrowed to use it for a few times. Last Nov the unit is still working before go into storage. I expect it should still working fine.
donde hay repuesto de esas maquina
Ysaac Caba No venden partes internas, pero puede usar otra marca de manguera o pistola (Graco es bueno). Tuve que arreglar el valvula de descarga con partes de la ferretería.
@@DIYApprentice disculpe una pregunta a mi maquina se le rompieron unos cables que son los sirven para subir o bajar la intensidad de la maquina ahora se quedo a un solo paso será por esso que ya no subciona la pintura
@@batman9512 gracias amigo
@@edgarjoellopezrodriguez3519 Lo siento, pero no tengo solucion. Ya no tengo la maquina. Me dio mas problemas y decidi comprar un Graco.
tip on sprays out on sides not middle
Go to Lowes and pick up a new tip. They come with a little seat that slides into the rear or the tip guard. Without that the tip does not fit properly and paint will come from the sides.

Good tips, Thanks. just stop smacking into the mic and life will be better.
Where can I find new tips for the sprayer?
Thanks for watching my video. New 413 spray tip also worked amzn.to/34CBzzl
No comprastes la garantia de 20 dolar por 2 años
Thanks for watching my video. Nope. I did not buy the warranty back then. It might be a good idea getting the warranty.
I couldnt get that off to get to the ball bearning. Weird design and super seized on there. Uhg. Guess Im going to buy a Graco and not deal with the nonsense
Try to loosen it up with some oil soaking over night. The nut is tight but not impossible to remove. Good luck.
