Hi ! I saw you got few answers si i try. I got m'y graco ultramax since one year and by the time, the primming button start to not work anymore, or sometimes... Even turned down it paint and dont prime, do yo know what it Can be? I Hope it's only the button.... Have a good day
Cam, what do you look to clean out when u remove these hex bolts and have you found the gun runs better when u clean these out? I was told by Graco never to remove these hex bolts (even though the manual instructs to remove and clean). Graco never told me why I shouldn't remove them other than it's not needed.🤷🏽♂️
You only need to clean those hex bolts if you r sprayer stops spraying . It will one of two things , you've either got a bit of hard paint stuck in the ball of the hex nut or your pump has gone. It's always worth checking those hex nuts and give them a clean if your in that situation. When you remove the hex nut it will have a spring and small ball bearing inside the hex nut casing, it doesn't come apart from the hex nut. All you need to do is give it a clean with a toothbrush and make sure the ball bearing is moving inside the casing freely. Hope this helps 👍
If you take the tip and guard , put them in some water that would be good enough storage between coats , regards the main unit there's nothing you need to do that . If your leaving it a few hours between coats the put it in a bag and tie it up so , pretty much what you would do with a roller.
Hi Colin I know it's not related to this video but I've got a question for you do you still shine up the woodwork the old way ? As I've not seen any vids of you shinning frames or skirts and have you ever tried spraying them to a finish on site keep up the good work bud love your vids
No I gloss the woodwork the old fashion way , I've looked into it but it's the time and the cost of buying masking paper and tape which has definitely put me off from trying it. The closest I've come to glossing on site was when the doors arrived late on a plot I was doing , so I was able to spray the gloss whilst the doors weren't hung . Here's the to the video. Thanks for watching 👍 ua-cam.com/video/xrWZmXlHzIY/v-deo.html
@@camdecorations9779 I have the same problem. But mine are rubber, its not really stripping the hex shape, but the allen key just spins in it. It the right size, 8mm as per the manual, and feels a good fit, its just they must be too tight.
How do you clean the front spay valve. The upper one that the spray head screws on. I have a clog in there that i cant get out.
Thanks so much. Exactly what I needed

Did u ever replace the pump on ur older handheld? Have u cleaned out the spray valve with the ball and spring/needle?
No I didn't replace the pump on that one , it was a corded 110 v version and I decided i wanted to go cordless.

If the pump is gone does it still make a sound when holding the trigger?
@@Billy-co5hl I just changed out a pump because my old one had weak pressure. The pump still made a normal sound it just lacked pressure.
Where do you buy the pumps? Thank you
Thank you so much you saved my life
Hi mate can i ask how you would store the ultramax like in between coats or whatever without having to clean it all out?
Love the videos
Thanks again

Mine did nothing. It’s priming but not spraying!
The 2plugs are completely stuck, the Alan key just stripping them cause they are plastic. Anyone have a similar issue? Maybe a solution?Suggestions?
No solution to that they are completely screwed, you'll have to buy a new pump if your have any issues with it
