Pump is moving but no nish
is coming out of the manifold
1. Is the white tap on the oor nish BIB (bag-in-box)
turned on?
For nish to ow out of the BIB the white tap needs to be
in the on position
User should turn the white tap on the BIB to the on
position (towards the baseplate)
2. Are the feed lines connected properly?
The feed lines need to be connected to the proper pump
inlet & outlet to allow nish to ow
User should verify that the long feed line connector
is attached to the pump inlet on the open side of the
TrailBlazer and the short feed line is connected from
the manifold to the pump outlet on the closed side
of the TrailBlazer.
3. Is the internal pump tube stuck?
The internal pump tube can get stuck during long
periods of storage.
User should remove the pump, then use ngers
to break any part of the white internal pump tube
that appears stuck. See instruction manual for
detailed information.
Finish is puddling/pooling
at the end of passes
1. Is the bail being moved up early enough?
When nearing the end of each pass with the TrailBlazer
the bail should be moved to the up position to eliminate
excess nish from puddling/pooling up at the end of
each pass.
User should move the bail to the up position no later
than 10’ before the end of each pass and as early as 15'.
User should also use the clean up tool to cleanup the
excess nish.
2. How much of each nish pass being overlapped?
It is recommended to only overlap each pass by 3", if
more overlapping is occurring it will cause increased
nish on the side of the overlap potentially causing
puddling/pooling of nish.
User should operate the TrailBlazer only overlapping
each nish pass by no more than 3".
User should also use the clean up tool to cleanup the
excess nish.

TrailBlazer is leaving thick
lines of nish on the side of
the nish pass
1. It is recommended to only overlap each pass by 3", if more
overlapping is occurring it will cause thick lines of nish to
form on the overlapping side.
User should operate the TrailBlazer only overlapping
each nish pass by no more than 3".
User should also use the clean up tool to clean up the
excess nish.
Finish is coming out streaky
or uneven:
1. Is the pad saturated properly?
If the pad is not saturated properly in the beginning of
each use the pad will leave streaks of nish.
User should lower bail and pull the unit back and
forth about 2'–3' each time until the streaks are gone
then nish laying nish properly.
2. Is the pad positioned properly?
If the pad is not positioned properly it is possible that
the pad can cover the manifold holes blocking the nish
from coming out .
User should reposition the pad properly insuring
that the manifold holes are not covered.
3. Is the pad hardened/crusted?
The pad should be washed after every use to make sure
that nish does not dry within the pad.
User should replace the hardened/crusted pad with
a new one, properly saturate with nish, and then
begin nishing.
If the user does not have any extra pads and they
must lay nish they can do the following steps.
• Properly dilute 2 gallons of stripper into a bucket,
soak the pad for 5 minutes, then rinse the pad in
warm water for 10 minutes wringing the pad every
20 seconds to fully remove the stripper solution. The
stripper solution is completely gone when bubbles
are no longer forming when the pad is wringed
out. If stripper solution is not fully removed it will
prevent the nish from being applied properly.
Always wear the recommended PPE shown on the
label or MSDS sheet for your stripper chemical.
JohnsonDiversey does not recommend this
procedure to be used more than once per pad, call
your source to order for TrailBlazer Rinsable Pads.
4. Is the nish coming out of the manifold holes evenly?
Finish needs to be owing out of all manifold holes
evenly for the nish to go down properly.
User should replace the manifold with a new one as
the manifold is clogged and cannot be cleaned.
Finish is shooting/
spraying out of the top
manifold holes:
1. Is the pad positioned properly?
If the pad is not positioned properly it is possible that the
pad can cover the manifold holes blocking the nish from
coming out the bottom holes forcing it out the top holes.
User should reposition the pad properly insuring
that the manifold holes are not covered.
2. Is the manifold clogged?
If the manifold had bottom holes that are clogged it will
force the nish out of the top holes.
User should replace the manifold with a new one as
the manifold is clogged and cannot be cleaned.
Velcro pad is falling o
of the baseplate:
1. Is the pad positioned properly?
The pad must be positioned properly to allow it to stick
properly to the Velcro once it is saturated with nish.
User should insure that the pad is positioned
properly with the back edge of the pad near the
bottom manifold holes but not covering them.
2. Is the pad oversaturated?
If vast amount of sq. ft. is being nished it is possible for the
pad to become oversaturated causing the pad to fall o of
the Velcro.
User should put the bail in the up position and
continue nishing to remove the excess nish from
the pad.
3. Is the Velcro lled with lint/debris?
Velcro only works properly if the Velcro is clean from
debris/lint.
User should check to see if signicant debris/lint has
accumulated in the Velcro. User should spend a few
minutes removing the debris/lint after every few
nish applications to insure proper Velcro strength.
