Maximum Working Pressure.
NOTE: See Fig. 2 while doing the setup.
1. Fill the packing nut/wet-cup 1/3 full with Graco
Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), supplied.
2. Connect the gun, 0.9 m (3 ft) hose and 15.1 m(50 ft) hose. Screw the assembly onto the outlet
nipple. Don’t use thread sealant and don’t install
the spray tip yet!
3. Two gun hookup. Unscrew the cap from the 1/4
npsm(m) secondary hose outlet. Connect a hose
and gun to the outlet. Use a 1/4 in. ID, 15.1 m (50
ft) long (minimum) main hose. For more flexible
gun movement, install a 3/16 in. ID, 0.9 m (3 ft)
hose between the main hose and the gun.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which may
result in poor equipment performance and component damage, follow these precautions:
1. Always use grounded, flexible spray hose at
least 50 ft. (15 m) long.
2. Never use a wire braid hose as it is too rigid to act
as a pulsation dampener.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the filter
and the main hose. See Fig. 2.
4. Always use the main filter outlet for one gun operation. Never plug this outlet.
WARNING

the fluid pressure before tightening connections.
6. Install the spray tip and tip guard. Engage the
gun safety latch. See Fig. 3. Install the spray tip
according to the instructions supplied with it.
7. Adjust the spray pattern.
a. Increase the pressure just until spray from the
gun is completely atomized. Use the lowest
pressure needed to get the desired results. This
reduces overspray and fogging, decreases tip
wear and extends the life of the sprayer.
b. If more coverage is needed, use a larger tip
rather than increasing the pressure.
c. Test the spray pattern. T o adjust the pattern,
engage the gun safety latch, loosen the retaining
nut. Position the tip guard horizontally for a horizontal pattern or vertically for a vertical pattern.
Then tighten the retaining nut.
