WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also cause serious injury.

D Fluid injected into the skin is a serious injury. The injury may look like just a cut, but it is a serious

injury. Get immediate medical attention.

D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.

D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.

D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.

D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.

D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.

D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,

checking or servicing the equipment.

D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not

repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers.

D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.

D Before checking or servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 to

prevent the equipment from starting unexpectedly.

Installation

Grounding

Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a safe system.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be sure to ground all of this equipment:

1. Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as instructed in your pump instruction manual.

2. Fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.

3. Spray gun, manifold, or dispensing valve: obtain grounding through connection to a properly grounded connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer.

6. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to local code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.

7. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

Installation (See Fig. 1)

For assistance in setting up a plural component system, contact your Graco distributor. This will help assure that you select the proper type and size equipment for your job.

Use the spacer (40), screws (37), nuts (38) and lockwashers (39) provided to mount the manifold.

Connect the supply lines from your pump to the manifold inlets (R & Q).

4. Object being sprayed: according to local code.

5. Supply Containers: according to local code.

Connect your static mixer or hose to the material outlet (S). Model 215626 has a 1/2 npt(m) outlet, and model 215625 has a 1/4 npt(m) outlet. Model 241692 includes a static mixer with a 3/8 npt(m) outlet.
