The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation
point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these
symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard
symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and
explosion:
•Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is flammable and can
ignite or explode if spilled on hot surface.
•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths
(potential static arc).
•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes are present.
•Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they are antistatic
or conductive.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until you iden-
tify and correct the problem.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection
occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
•Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
•Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part
of the body.
•Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
•Use Graco nozzle tips.
•Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, fol-
low the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean.
•Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit
and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.
•Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
•This system is capable of producing3300 psi (22.8 MPa, 228 bar). Use Graco replacement parts or accessories
that are rated a minimum of 3300 psi (22.8 MPa, 228 bar).
•Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
•Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
•Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.
•Keep clear of moving parts.
•Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.
•Pressurized equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.

Warning
WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component.
See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all equipment
manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material,
request MSDS from distributor or retailer.
•Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.
•Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manufacturer’s
replacement parts only.
•Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create safety
hazards.
•Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
•Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
•Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical reaction
and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
•Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids contain-
ing such solvents.
•Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material supplier for com-
patibility.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause death.
•Do not operate in an enclosed area.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
•Read MSDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns:
•Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, including eye injury,
hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective equipment includes but is not limited to:
•Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
•Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.
RECOIL HAZARD
Gun may recoil when triggered. If you are not standing securely, you could fall and be seriously injured.

Standard Models (3400, 3900, 5900, 5900HD, 7900, 7900HD)
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury
from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection,
splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the
equipment.
1. Engage trigger lock.
2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Move pump switch to OFF and turn pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Disengage trigger lock. Hold metal part of gun firmly
to side of grounded metal pail, and trigger gun to
relieve pressure.
5. Engage gun trigger lock.
6. Turn prime valve down to DRAIN position. Leave
prime valve down until ready to spray again.
7. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or
that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen tip
guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear
hose or tip obstruction.
Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
To ground sprayer: Attach sprayer grounding clamp to
earth ground.

Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground
exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.
Spray gun: Ground through connection to a properly
grounded fluid hose and pump.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: Hold metal part of the spray gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun.
