Sprayer Is Difficult to Pump

Modified on Tue, 15 Sep at 6:20 AM

Applies to: FGI 1-gallon, 2-gallon, and 3-gallon Manual Pump Sprayer (Models 186210 Grab & Go and 186568 Estate Premium Lawn Care). Same chassis sold under both brands.

 

What causes this: The pump piston O-ring is damaged or needs lubrication.

 

How to fix it:

  1. Release pressure from the tank.
  2. Remove the pump assembly from the tank.
  3. Inspect the pump piston O-ring.
  4. If the O-ring looks dry, apply petroleum jelly to lubricate it.
  5. If the O-ring is cracked, worn, or damaged, replace it.
  6. Reinstall the pump and test.
