WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
To reduce the risk of electric shock or other serious injury, the air supply hose must be electrically connected to a true
earth ground. Use Only Graco Electrically Con-
ductive Air Supply Hose.
1. Connect the Graco Electrically Conductive Air Supply Hose (R) between the air supply line and the gun’s air inlet (V). The gun air inlet fitting has a left hand thread. Connect the air supply hose ground wire to a true earth ground.
2. Install an air line filter (O) and an air and water separator (D) on the air line to ensure a dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece and can cause the gun to malfunction.
3. Install a bleed-type air regulator (G) on the pump and gun air supply lines to control air pressure to the pump and gun.
Mount warning signs in the spray area where they can easily be seen and read by all operators. An English Warning Sign is provided with the gun. Additional English, French, German, and Spanish signs are avail­able at no charge. See Accessories to order them.
Ventilate the Spray Booth
WARNING
FLAMMABLE OR TOXIC VAPOR HAZARD
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable or toxic vapors. Do not operate the gun unless ventilation fans are operating.
Electrically interlock the gun air supply with the ventila­tors to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans operating. Check and follow all National, State, and Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity requirements.
4. Install a bleed-type air shutoff valve on the main air line (C) and the pump air line (E) to shut off air to the pump. Install an additional bleed-type valve on each pump air supply line to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump after the air regulator is shut off.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The bleed-type air shutoff valve is required in your system to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump after the air regulator is closed. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect­edly, which could result in serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin.
5. Install an air line lubricator (F) as close to the pump (H) as possible.
6. Install an air shutoff valve ( P) on each gun air supply line to shut off air to the gun(s).

To improve the atomization, open the atomizing air
valve further (31). If more atomizing air is needed beyond the fully open position of the valve, increase the air hose inlet pressure.
Use the lowest air flow settings needed for accept­able atomization. The slower particle velocity will improve the electrostatic effect.
To reduce the atomization air and minimize any
overspray, turn the atomizing air valve in.
NOTE: See the Spray Pattern Troubleshooting chart on page 16 to correct spray pattern problems.
9. Turn the ES ON-OFF lever to ON to begin spray­ing with the electrostatics. When spraying, the ES indicator light (DD) should glow, indicating the electrostatic charge.
NOTE: To verify if you have enough air for full voltage, the Remote Spraying Voltage Readout (SVR) moni- tor can be used. See Accessories. Watch the SVR display while increasing the air pressure to see if more air will increase the voltage.
10. Use the ES HI-LO lever (43g) to change to either full voltage (HI) or a lower voltage level (LO). The lower voltage setting is factory set to 60 kilovolts at zero microamperes. To change this setting, see page 27.
7. Set the atomizing air valve (31) about 1.5 turns out for most applications. The Atomizing Air Valve Adjustment chart shows the effect of the atomiz­ing air valve adjustment on the air cap air flow.
8. Adjust the pattern width with the fan air valve (43c).
CAUTION
Always hang the gun with its nozzle pointing down when it is not being used to avoid having fluid run into the gun air passages. Fluid in the gun air pas­sages can cause poor atomization and excessive current demands and damage the gun.

Electrical Tests
The performance and safety of the spray gun are directly affected by the condition of the electrical components contained inside the gun. The electrical tests below can be used to determine the condition of the power supply (18) and the resistor stud (22) as well as the continuity of the electrical path between the components.
Use megohmmeter P/N 241079 (A) and an applied voltage of 500 volts to complete these electrical tests. Connect the leads as shown.
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Megohmmeter P/N 241079 (A-see Fig.
8) is not approved for use in a hazard­ous area. To reduce the risk of sparking, do not use the megohmmeter to do the electrical tests unless:
The gun has been removed from the
hazardous area;
Measure the resistance between the end of the elec­trode (20) and the air fitting (17). The resistance should be between 329 to 401 megohms. If the resis­tance is outside the specified range, go to the next test. If the resistance is correct, refer to Electrical Troubleshooting on page 18 for other possible causes of poor performance.
