WARNING
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to Grounding on page 6.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop
spraying immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
D Do not use 1,1,1--trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents in aluminum pumps. Such use could result in a serious chemical
reaction, with the possibility of explosion.
D Do not use kerosene or other flammable solvents or combustible gases to flush the unit.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being sprayed.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Before operating this equipment, electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray area.
D Before operating this equipment, extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while spraying or while there are any
fumes in the air.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
D Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts, such as the rotating blades of the agitator, can pinch or amputate your fingers or other
body parts and can cause splashing in the eyes or on the skin.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the agitator.
D Always shut off the agitator and disconnect the air line before adjusting the angle of the agitator,
removing the agitator from the drum or checking or repairing any part of the agitator.

WARNING
FIREAND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Always maintain a minimum of 1 in.
clearance between rotating agitator parts
and container to prevent sparks from
contact.
Typical Installation
air line lubricator
agitator motor
air line filter
air regulator
and gauge
NOTE: The reference numbers and letters in parentheses in the text refer to the Parts Drawing and Fig. 1.

(reference only)
Preparing the Agitator for Use
1. Set the air motor (B) in the opening in the cover (1)
as shown in Fig. 1. Secure with the two setscrews
(5), using the allen wrench (4).
2. Slide the coupling (F) onto the shaft (A) of the air
motor, then insert the agitator shaft (G) into the
coupling. Secure the coupling with the two setscrews (E).
3. Close the needle valve (D). Install an air line quick
disconnect to the air inlet. Order Part No. 208536
coupler and 169969 fitting, 1/8 npt(m). Then connect a properly sized air hose to the 1/8 npt(f) inlet
of the valve.
4. Position the agitator and cover assembly on top of
a 5 gal. (19 liter) pail of paint (P). Tighten the three
thumbscrews (3).
5. Remove the cap gasket (6) and install a suction
tube (M) in the largest port (Q) near the center of
the cover. Adjust the suction tube so its end is
about 1/4 in. (6 mm) above the bottom of the pail.
Secure the tube in the port with three thumbscrews (3).
Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 1/4 HP air motor typically
requires 2 cfm (0.06 m#/min) of air.
NOTE: The smaller port (N) is for use in a recirculation
system.
6. Ground the agitator. See instructions on page 6.

Installation
Grounding
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, all electrically
conductive objects or devices in the spray area must
be properly grounded. Check your local electrical code
for detailed grounding instructions for your area and
type of equipment.
To ground the agitator:
Connect the ground wire (H) to the grounding point (J)
on the collar. See Fig. 2. Connect the ground clamp
(K) to a true earth ground. Order Part No. 222011,
Ground Wire and Clamp.

H
System Accessories
On the air line, install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply.
Order Part No. 106148 filter, which is 3/8 npt(f) or
106149 filter, which is 1/2 npt(f).
CAUTION
Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubricator
for automatic air motor lubrication. Set the lubricator
feed rate at 1 drop of oil per minute for high speed or
continuous duty usage. Do not overfeed oil or exhaust
air may become contaminated. To manually lubricate
the air motor, see Lubricating the Air Motor on page
7. To order a 3/8” npt air line lubricator, order Part No.
214847.

Operation
WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury, including cuts, amputation of fingers, and
splashing in the eyes or on the skin:
D Always shut off the agitator and disconnect the
air line before checking or repairing the agitator.
D Wear eye protection.
Service
WARNING
Regulate the agitator speed with the needle valve (D).
See Fig. 1, page 5. Use the lowest agitator speed
needed for thorough agitation of the paint. Excessive
agitator speed may cause the paint to foam.
After a long period of standing, some paints will settle
out and form a heavy cake on the bottom of the pail.
To speed agitation in this case, loosen the thumbscrews holding the cover and slowly rotate the cover
on the pail while the agitator is running.
Operate the agitator continuously while supplying
paints or other fluids to the system.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
To prevent an explosive hazard, where
injury and/or property damage can result:
D Do not operate this air motor with combustible
gases.
D Do not use kerosene or other flammable sol-
vents to flush unit.
D Keep face away from exhaust port. Foreign ma-
terial exiting the air motor can be hazardous.
Flushing
If the motor is sluggish or inefficient, flush it with nonflammable solvent in a well ventilated area.
The recommended solvent for air motors and lubricated pumps is GastR Flushing Solvent (Part No.
AH255 or AH255A) or InhibisolR Safety Solvent.
1. Disconnect the air line and muffler.
2. Add several teaspoons of solvent or spray the solvent directly into the motor.
3. Rotate the shaft by hand in both directions for a
few minutes.
InhibisolR is a registered trademark of Penetone Corp.
Servicing
D If the unit requires more than installation of a ser-
vice kit, it is usually quickest and easiest to send
the unit to the Graco distributor for repair or replacement.
D If the vanes need replacing or foreign material is
present in the motor chamber, an experienced mechanic may remove the end plate opposite the drive
shaft end. Do not pry with a screwdriver. It will dent
the surface of the plate and body , causing leaks.
Use a puller tool, which will remove the end plate
while maintaining the position of the shaft.
D New vanes should have the edges with cut corners
(or the notched edges, if the vanes are reversible)
pointing toward the bottom of the vane slot.
Lubricating the Air Motor
CAUTION
Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.
4. Reconnect the air line and slowly apply pressure
until there is no trace of solvent in the exhaust air.
5. Re-lubricate the motor with a squirt of light-weight
oil in the chamber.
If an air line lubricator is not installed, the air motor
must be manually lubricated every 8 hours. Lubricate
the agitator air motor by placing 10--20 drops of SAE
#10 light oil in the motor’s air inlet. Run the agitator for
about 30 seconds.
