Applies to: Smith Performance S103EX Stainless Steel Compression Sprayer (Model 190468), acetone compatible
What causes this: The pump cup may be dry or damaged, the hose clamps may be loose, or an O-ring may be missing or damaged.
How to fix it:
- Lubricate the pump cup with a few drops of the included silicone oil. Pump the handle several times to distribute.
- Inspect the pump cup for wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if worn using Smith Performance Pump Repair Kit #11 (includes acetone-compatible seals).
- Check all hose clamps and tighten as needed.
- Inspect O-rings at the pump, hose, and shut-off connections. Replace any that are missing, cracked, or deformed.
- Re-test by pumping 20 to 25 strokes with the tank about half full of water.
