Back Pack No Liquid Troubleshooting

Modified on Wed, 18 Dec at 1:25 PM

If you have a backpack type unit, a Byopack or Jetpack, with no liquid flow you should try the following steps to resolve or diagnose the problem.

1:  Check the electrical circuits

  • Plug up or install the battery.
  • Look in the clear widow on the bottom of the unit.
  • There will be a GREEN light if the power connection is good.
  • Turn on the unit using the main thumb button
  • There should now be a GREEN and WHITE light in the window.
  • Turn on the liquid pump using the trigger button
  • There should now be a GREEN, WHITE, and BLUE light.
  • If one is out, it indicates an issue in the electrical circuit of the system.

2: Check the Downtube assembly

  • Disconnect the rubber tube from the cap assembly.
  • Retrieve a little water in a small open container.
  • Place the tip of the rubber tube in the water.
  • Turn on the unit and initiate the sprayer.
  • If the down tube is defective, fluid will start flowing.
  • If fluid is not flowing proceed to step 3.

3: Prime/Purge the liquid system

  • Retrieve a small syringe if you have one or a hand sprayer will work

  • Pump liquid through the unit at the rubber liquid tube until some comes out the spray nozzle end.
  • Try running the unit again.
  • If no liquid goes into the system or pressure builds, check the inline liquid filter.
  • If there is still no flow proceed to step 4.

4: Kinks or Internal Filter

  • Open the wand connection door to check for kinks.
