G4 probs

[Putzmiester]

Ok lets c if anyone can help
G4 .... Tried to spray today newish stator pumped water fine went to pump material and while doing test noticed it was going from wet to normal ,wet to normal so so cleaned out and tyres again with the same thing happening ,now when I press the water button it flows fine but as soon as I try to pump material it doesn't seem to want to pump gene hunts,water rapidly gos up and down and it all just jams up the green button comes on but nothing any ideas lads

It's seems to be trying but won't pump

Are the filters clean? Bits in the filters cause all sorts of water flow problems

Going back a few years to the L&D foum but I seem to remember a problem like this. Solenoid perhaps?

Pressure switch ? @UKPlasteringmachines

 

[UKPlasteringmachines]

Both have been replaced

Filters clean

check your power cable first just to make sure the connections are all fine and we not dropping any phases

 

[layiton]

Is it a clamped rotor and stator?

What was the problem?

 

[Putzmiester]

One of the phases was out I think,and generally needed a good sort out,pressure plate was also low

Use the water but set up mate, sounds to me your getting enough bar of water but when you then start to operate there is not enough pressure coming in from the water supply to cope with the running of your machine

Hsd this same problem on a g4. Site pressure was just over 2.5bar. But as soon as you tried to pump it jumped around and the genny coughed and spluttered. Turned out that some bright spark had decided to use normal garden hose in part of the water feed run so that they could tee off their own hose.
Our g4 has it's own booster pump but even though the pressure was there the volume was being restricted by the garden hose.
Water butt and seperate pump saves a lot of hassle.
