WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the spray tip, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause can also cause serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
Do not point the spray tip at anyone or any part of the body.
Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip, and do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand,
body, glove or rag.
Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the in-line valve when spraying.
Be sure the trigger safety lever operates before operating the in-line valve.
Lock the trigger safety lever when you stop spraying.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 when you are instructed to relieve pressure;
stop spraying; check, clean, or service any system equipment; or install or change spray tips.
Tighten all fluid connections before each use.
Check the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Perma-
nently coupled hoses cannot be repaired.
Handle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep hoses and tubes away from moving parts and
hot surfaces. Do not use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures
above 150F (65C) or below –40F (–40C).
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause a serious injury or death if the fluid is swallowed or
splashed in the eyes or on the skin or if the fumes are inhaled.
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
Dress appropriately for your application. Wear protective eyewear, noise protection for the ears, a
personal respirator, gloves, and clothing.
RECOIL HAZARD
Due to the high pressure fluid emitted, a strong recoil action may occur when you trigger the pole gun.
If you are unprepared, your hand could be forced back toward your body or you could lose your balance and fall, resulting in serious injury.

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire or explosion and serious injury.
Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Electrical Grounding on page .
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being
sprayed.
Extinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
Electrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.
Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
Do not smoke in the spray area.
Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture, malfunction, or start unexpectedly and result
in serious injury.
This equipment is for professional use only.
Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.
Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are uncertain about the usage, call your
distributor.
Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.
Check the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. This equip-
ment has a 3600 psi (25 MPa, 248 bar) maximum working pressure.
Route the hoses away from the traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not
expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 150F (65C) or below –40F (–40C).
Do not use the hoses to pull the equipment.
Use fluids or solvents that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical
Data section of all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends to protect them from rupture caused by kinks or
bends near the couplings.
Comply with all applicable local, state and national fire, electrical and other safety regulations.
Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.
HAZARD OF USING FLUIDS CONTAINING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS
Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids
containing such solvents in this equipment. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with
the possibility of explosion, which could cause death, serious injury and/or substantial property damage.
Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminum and zinc
parts.

Maintenance
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of
an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:
are instructed to relieve the pressure,
stop spraying,
check or service any of the system equipment,
or install or clean the spray tip.
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Lock gun trigger safety.
2. Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Move pump switch to OFF and turn pressure
control knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Unlock trigger safety. Hold metal part of gun firmly
to side of grounded metal pail, and trigger gun to
relieve pressure.
CAUTION
For detailed engine maintenance and specifications,
refer to separate Honda Engines Owner’s Manual,
supplied.
DAILY: Check engine oil level and fill as necessary.
DAILY: Check hose for wear and damage.
DAILY: Check gun safety for proper operation.
DAILY: Check pressure drain valve for proper opera-
tion.
DAILY: Check and fill the gas tank.
AFTER THE FIRST 20 HOURS OF OPERATION:
Drain engine oil and refill with clean oil. Reference
Honda Engines Owner’s Manual for correct oil viscosity.
WEEKLY: Remove air filter cover and clean element.
Replace element, if necessary. If operating in an
unusually dusty environment: check filter daily and
replace, if necessary.
Repack connecting rod (22) top needle bearing after
every pump change.
Replacement elements can be purchased from your
local HONDA dealer.
5. Lock gun trigger safety.
6. Open pressure drain valve. Leave valve open until
ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY
loosen tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to
relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely.
Now clear tip or hose.
WEEKLY:Check level of TSL in displacement pump
packing nut. Fill nut, if necessary. Keep TSL in nut to
help prevent fluid buildup on piston rod and premature
wear of packings.
With pump switch ON and pressure turned to
MAXIMUM, use a test light to check for power
between clutch test points on control board.
Remove 7–pin connector from control board
and measure resistance across clutch coil. At
70 F, the resistance must be between 1.2
±0.2Ω (GMax 3900); 1.7 ±0.2Ω (GMax 5900);
if not, replace pinion housing.
Have pressure control checked by authorized
Graco dealer.
