Warning Caution
Manual Conventions
WARNING
A warning alerts you to possible serious injury or
death if you do not follow instructions.
Symbols, such as fire and explosion (shown), alert you
to a specific hazard and direct you to read the indicated hazard warnings beginning on page 4.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• 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.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your Graco distributor for information.
• For professional use only.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
• Do not use hoses to pull equipment.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
CAUTION
A caution alerts you to possible equipment damage or
destruction if you do not follow instructions.
Note
A note indicates additional helpful information.
WARNINGS
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin
and cause serious injury.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

Warning
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch 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 in this manual. Disconnect power or air supply.
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 MSDS’s 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.
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.
• 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 lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects. See Grounding instructions.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.

Mounting the Pump
WARNING
Mount the pump securely so that it cannot move during operation. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
• Select a location that allows the operator easy
access to the pump and air controls, sufficient room
to change supply containers, and a secure mounting platform.
• If you are mounting the pump directly on the supply
container, be sure it is positioned so the pump’s
intake tube is no more than 1 in. (25 mm) from the
bottom of the container. Mount the pump to the
cover or other suitable mounting device.
To prevent damage to the pump, remove sediment from the bottom of the container before
installing a pump in an existing container.
Grounding
• To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
dispensing valve firmly to the side of a metal pail
and then open the dispensing valve.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the valve firmly
to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the
valve.
To ground the pump, remove the ground screw (Z) and
insert through the eye of the ring terminal at end of
ground wire, (Y). Fasten the ground screw back onto the
pump and tighten securely. Connect the other end of the
ground wire to a true earth ground. See F
a ground wire and clamp order Part No. 222011.
Z
IG. 2. To order
Y
Proper grounding is essential to maintaining a safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump.
Check local electrical codes for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and equipment type. Be sure
the following equipment is properly grounded:
• Pump: See F
• Air and Fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
• Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Dispensing valve: Obtain grounding through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
• Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
• Object being lubricated: Follow your local code.
• Any pails used when flushing: Use only metal,
grounded pails when flushing. Make firm
metal-to-metal contact between a metal part of the
dispensing valve and the pail. Use the lowest possible pressure.

WARNING
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. Read PRESURIZED EQUIPMENT
HAZARD warnings on page 4.
Maximum working pressure of all components in the
system may not be the same. To reduce risk of overpressurizing any component, be sure you know the
maximum working pressure of each component.
Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the
lowest rated component in the system. Overpressurizing any component can result in rupture, fire, explosion, property damage, and serious injury.
To determine the fluid output pressure using the air
regulator reading, multiply the ratio of the pump by the
air pressure shown on the regulator gauge. For example:
3 (:1) ratio x 100 psi air = 300 psi fluid output
Limit the air pressure to the pump so that no air line or
fluid line component is overpressurized.
Relieving Pressure
1. Close the pump air regulator (C) and the bleed-type
master air valves (A) (required in your system).
2. Hold a metal part of the dispensing valve (H) firmly
to a grounded metal waste container, and trigger the
valve to relieve the fluid pressure.
3. Open the pump air regulator (C) slowly, just until the
pump is running. When the pump is primed and all
air has been pushed out of the lines, close the dispensing valve (H).
NOTE: When the pump is primed, and with sufficient air
supplied, the pump starts when the dispensing valve (H)
is opened, and shuts off when it is closed.
4. Adjust the air regulator (C) until you get sufficient
flow from dispensing valve (H). Always run the
pump at the lowest pressure necessary to get the
desired results. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of any component in the system.
CAUTION
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a high
speed, possibly causing pump damage. It may also get
very hot.
5. If your pump accelerates quickly or is running too
fast, stop it immediately and check the fluid supply. If
the supply container is empty and air has been
pumped into the lines, prime the pump and lines
with fluid, or flush it and leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Be sure to eliminate all air from the fluid
lines.
6. Read and follow the instructions supplied with each
component in your system.
