Setup
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pressure control, which may
result in poor equipment performance and component
damage, follow these precautions.
1. Always use nylon spray hose. Never use a wire
braid hose; it is too rigid to act as a pulsation
dampener.
2. Fill packing nut/wetcup. Fill the packing nut/wetcup (A) 1/3 full with Graco Throat Seal Liquid
(TSL), supplied. See Fig. 2.
3. Check the engine oil level. Refer to the Honda
engine manual, supplied. This is a summary of the
information: Remove one of the oil fill plugs (M);
the oil should be almost overflowing. See Fig. 3.
Add oil as necessary.
2. Always use a minimum hose length of 50 foot
(15 m) x 1/4 inch ID or 50 foot (15 m) x 3/8 inch
ID hose.
3. Never install any shutoff device between the filter
(21) and the main hose. See Fig. 2.
4. Always use the main filter outlet (20) for a one
gun operation. Never plug this outlet.
1. Connect hose and gun. (Refer to Fig. 2.)
a. Remove the plastic cap from the 1/4 npsm (m)
filter outlet nipple (20). Screw the main fluid
hose onto the nipple. Read the CAUTION,
above.
b. Connect the whip end hose between the main
fluid hose and the inlet adapter of the gun.
c. Do not use thread sealant, and do not install
the spray tip yet!
WARNING
Recommended lubrication oil: Use a high-quality,
detergent oil, SAE 10W–30, classified “FOR
SERVICE SG or SF”, for regular use and for
breaking–in a new engine.

If you supply your own hoses and spray gun, be
sure the hoses are electrically conductive, that the
gun has a tip guard, and that each part is rated for
at least 3000 psi (210 bar, 21 MPa) MaximumWorking Pressure. This is to reduce the risk of
serious injury caused by static sparking, fluid
injection or over-pressurization and rupture of the
hose or gun.
4. Be sure your system is properly grounded
before operating it. Connect the sprayer to a true
earth ground with the grounding wire and clamp
(80) ; for example, a cold water pipe or a ground
rod driven into the earth.
5. Fill the gas tank. See Fueling, page 8.
6. Flush the pump to remove the lightweight oil
which was left in the pump to protect it from corrosion.
a. Before using water–base paint, flush with
mineral spirits, followed by soapy water, and
then flush with clean water.
b. Before using oil–base paint, flush with mineral
spirits, only.
c. See Flushing on page 13 for the flushing
procedure.
7. Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
8. Keep the sprayer upright and level during
operation and whenever it is being moved. See the
CAUTION on page 10.

a. Remove any skin that may have formed.
b. Stir the paint to mix the pigments.
c. Strain the paint through a fine nylon mesh bag
(available at most paint dealers) to remove the
particles that could clog the filter or spray tip.
This is probably the most important step
toward trouble–free spraying.

Fueling
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Always turn the engine switch (K) to off
before refueling. (Fig. 3)
Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area
where the engine is refueled or where the gasoline
is stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Make sure the gas fill cap
(L) is securely closed after refueling. (Fig. 3)
2. Gasolines containing alcohol (gasohol). Do not
use gasohol which contains methanol, if the gasohol does not contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors for methanol. Even if it does contain such
additives, do not use the gasohol if it contains
more than 5% methanol or 10 % ethanol.
NOTE: The Honda engine warranty does not cover
the damage resulting from the use of gasolines containing a higher percentage of alcohol than mentioned
in step 2. See the Honda engine manual for more
information.
3. General. Do not use any oil and gasoline mixtures
or contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting any dirt,
dust or water in the fuel tank.
Be careful not to spill fuel when fueling. Fuel vapor
or spilled fuel can ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make
sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
1. Fuel specifications. Use automotive gasoline
with a pump octane number of 86 or higher, or a
research octane number of 91 or higher. Unleaded
fuel minimizes the combustion chamber deposits.
4. Tank Capacity. 0.66 gallons (2.5 liters). Always
leave at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) at the top of the tank
for expansion.
5. Shut off the engine before refueling.

all the new parts in the kit, even if the old ones still look
good.
Removing the pump (See Fig. 24.)
1. Flush the pump, if possible. Relieve pressure. Stop
the pump with the piston rod (107) in its lowest

Repairing the pump
See manual 308190 for pump repair instructions.
Installing the pump (See Fig. 24 and 25.)
1. Mount the pump on the drive housing. Tap it into
the alignment pins with a soft hammer. Tighten the
screws (17) to 50 ft-lb (68 N.m).
WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Be sure the retaining spring (12) is firmly
in the groove all the way around, to
prevent the pin (11) from working loose
due to vibration. See Fig. 25.
If the pin works loose, it or other parts could break
off due to the force of the pump action. These parts
could be projected into the air and result in serious
injury or property damage, including the pump
connecting rod or drive housing.
2. Align the hole in the rod (107) with the connecting
rod assembly (10). Use a screwdriver to push the
retaining spring (12) up and push in the pin (11).
Push the retaining spring (12) into place around
the connecting rod.
3. Reconnect the suction and drain hoses. Install the
front cover (9). On The lo-boy sprayer inspect the
o-ring (110). Replace the o-ring if it is worn or
damaged.
4. Tighten the packing nut (102) just enough to stop
leakage, but no tighter. Fill the packing nut/wet-cup
1/3 full with Graco TSL. Push the plug (123) into
the wet-cup.
