If you inadvertently rotate the pump, which is easy to do, just check to ensure the seals are intact. The only seal that is usually a problem is the top one. The seals are held in place by the case (top and bottom). If the pump was rotated it is simple to push the seal back in. All three seals should be checked before the pump is installed.
My 2022 untra max is plastic on area that should be metal, like threaded area I'm unsure if the pump it plastic inside.. Can I change the parts to metal one like the older models. Cheers
it's because the ULTRA MAX can spray oil based paint, the plastic front end and plastic tip guard is used as it helps not to build up statc that can cause an explosion when using oil/solvent based paints. It means then that if you had just an ULTRA, you'd only be using it for water based products.
I have a Titan pro sprayer for 8 years now and it works like a charm....but it's bulky and long to clean .. NOW Graco wants 1000$ for this little sprayer and they WARN you after 200 liters you will dish out another 280$ for a new pump?? are they SERIOUS?
Yep mine would only spray paint , but not water , when cleaning out . At this stage you’ll probably spray another 10 litres if your lucky before pump says that’s it !
you have the plastic tip guard that isn't standard like the metal one son the other Graco machines (wich you can swap with other brands of the same size).... Being plastic on the Ultra MAX, it's because the ULTRA MAX can also spray oil based paint, the plastic front end and plastic tip guard is used as it helps not to build up statc that can cause an explosion when using oil/solvent based paints. It means then that if you had just an ULTRA, you'd only be using it for water based products.
Why do the washer go bad 👎 used mine twice and washer broke. Had to buy another gun guess that happened again so now I have 2 broken guns with same problem. 🤦♂️
ha, i came here become mine doesnt work, i mean the pump turns on but i think i clogged the inlet , sitting around 2+ years with no use, and the rust was all over the inlet fitting
To be honest I wish I never bought mine. 2nd pump needs replacing now and no where near 200 ltrs. Graco are great for airless sprayers but the ultra is shite imo. Compressor set up next I think.
Problems are In most situations not caused by a malfunction of the pump itself but most often by the poor design of the tip where paint gets caught in a small chamber in the very end of the tip. If Graco took sustainability seriously they would allow customers to repair/ purchase the front plastic tip. This would solve the vast majority of malfunctioning Ultras. Graco is Chinese crap labeled as American quality.
you da man thanks Ive not had to buy a new pump yet but when i do i will have a good idea of whats involved

The nice thing about replacing the pump it comes with all three new valve kits.
DO ONE WITH JUST THE VALVLE KIT WHICH IS USUALLY THE ISSUE PLEASE. #17P183

What are the signs that indicate the pump needs replacing? Excellent video 👍
I noticed before mine went it couldnt pump water and only spray paint. Another sign is paint around pistons I think.

How much would a new pump for the ultra max cost in euro in Ireland ?
€205
Well done. I’ve used way more than 200 L with my ultra. My Ultra is now not spraying very well I need to change the pump.
Brian Mowers no problem, replacement pumps are available from the links in the description 👍 Happy spraying!!
Brian Mowers So every 50 sprays you have to pay $200+ for a new pump on $800 Cordless sprayer..
@@SprayDirect The link doesn't work.
@@strongholds12 charge the customer £1 for every litre of paint you use with the ultra and it will pay for itself by the time it breaks 👍🏻
Hos About The tc model, cant u Change the pump on that?

Staet charging each client an additional 25 bucks per job
So I can put an ultra pump in my ultramax? I rather use water based paint only and get the aluminum nut to use an 10" extender.
