Installation
Air Line and Accessory
Recommendations
1. Install an air pressure regulator on the gun cylinder
air supply line.
A minimum of 70 psi (0.49 MPa, 4.9 bar) air pressure must be supplied to the cylinder for proper
operation. Air pressure opens the valve, a spring
closes the valve. A three-way air valve, which
exhausts cylinder air, is required.
2. Install a bleed-type air shutoff valve on the main air
line. Install an additional bleed-type valve on each
pump air supply line, downstream of the pump air
regulator, to relieve air trapped between this valve
and the pump after the air regulator is shut off.
WARNING
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.
Fluid Line and Accessory
Recommendations
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of property damage or
serious injury, including injection, which
could be caused by component rupture
or unrelieved fluid pressure,
A fluid drain valve(s) is required in your system
to assist in relieving fluid pressure in the displacement pump, hose and gun; triggering the
gun to relieve pressure may not be sufficient.
A fluid pressure regulator must be installed in
the system if the pump’s maximum working
pressure exceeds the gun’s maximum fluid
working pressure (see the front cover).
1. Install a fluid filter and drain valve(s) close to the
pump’s fluid outlet.
2. Install a fluid pressure regulator to control fluid
pressure to the gun.
NOTE: Some applications require fine-tuned control of
fluid pressure. You can control fluid pressure more
accurately with a fluid pressure regulator than by
regulating the air pressure to the pump.
3. Install a bleed-type air shutoff valve on the gun air
cylinder supply line, downstream of the air regulator, to shut off air to the gun cylinder. Connect the
air supply line to the gun cylinder air inlet (C). See
Fig. 4.
NOTE: The cylinder air inlet accepts 1/4 in. (6.3 mm)
O.D. tubing.
3. Install a fluid shutoff valve to shut off the fluid
supply to the gun.
4. For paint spray applications, install an in-line fluid
filter, part no. 210500, on the gun fluid inlet (F) to
avoid clogging the spray tip with particles from the
fluid. See Fig. 4.
5. Connect the electrically conductive fluid hose to
the gun fluid inlet (F) or optional in-line filter.

Ground the System
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding could cause static
sparking, which could cause a fire or
explosion. To reduce the risk of property
damage or serious injury, follow the
grounding instructions below.
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a system. Your system may include
other equipment or objects which must be grounded.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Your
system must be connected to a true earth ground.
1. Pump: Ground the pump by connecting a ground
wire and clamp between the fluid supply and a true
earth ground as instructed in your separate pump
instruction manual.
2. Air compressors and hydraulic power sup-plies: Ground them according to the manufacturer
recommendations.
3. Air, fluid, and hydraulic hoses connected tothe pump: Use only electrically conductive hoses
with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check
the electrical resistance of your air and fluid hoses
at least once a week. If the total resistance to
ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace the hose
immediately.
NOTE: Use a meter that is capable of measuring
resistance at this level.
4. Spray gun: Ground the gun by connecting it to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
5. Fluid supply container: Ground it according to
local code.
6. Object being sprayed: Ground it according to
local code.
7. All solvent pails used when flushing: Ground
them according to local code. Use only metal pails,
which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a
non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.

Safety
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Remember, this is not an air spray gun.
For your safety be sure to read and
follow the Warnings on pages 2 and 3
and throughout the text of this instruction
manual.
Keep the wallet sized warning card, provided with
the gun, with the operator of this equipment at all
times. The card contains important treatment
information should an injection injury occur. Additional cards are available at no charge from Graco.
Pressure Relief Procedure
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.
1. Shut off the power to the pump.
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
the system).
5. Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready
to spray again.
6. 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 the hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen the coupling
completely. Now clear the tip or hose obstruction.
Install a Spray Tip
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of an injection injury,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
at left before removing or installing a
spray tip.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of component rupture
and serious injury, including injection, do
not exceed the gun’s maximum fluid
working pressure (see the front cover) or the
maximum working pressure of the lowest rated
component in the system.
1. Make sure there is no pressure in the system.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure at left.
Models 239786 and 241469
with GG0 and GG1 Series Spray Tips
2. Install the spray tip (H) and the gasket (J) in the tip
retainer nut (K). Screw the assembly firmly onto
the gun. Tighten the assembly with a wrench. See
Fig. 6.
3. Trigger the gun to relieve the fluid pressure.
4. Open the pump drain valve (required in the system) to help relieve fluid pressure in the displacement pump. In addition, open the drain valve
connected to the fluid pressure gauge (in a system
with fluid regulation) to help relieve fluid pressure
in the hose and gun. Triggering the gun to relieve
pressure may not be sufficient. Have a container
ready to catch the drainage.

Operation
Adjust Spray Pattern
1. To adjust the spray pattern direction with fan tips,
orient the slot in the tip horizontally for a horizontal
pattern and vertically for a vertical pattern. See
Fig. 7.
2. Start the pump. Adjust the fluid pressure until the
spray is completely atomized. Use the lowest
pressure necessary to get the desired results.
Higher pressure may not improve the spray pattern
and will cause premature tip wear and pump wear.
3. The spray tip orifice and spray pattern angle
determines the coverage and size of pattern.
When more coverage is needed, follow the Pres-sure Relief Procedure on page 9, and install a
larger spray tip rather than increasing fluid pressure.
Clean the Spray Gun and System Daily
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of an injection injury
or splashing fluid in the eyes or on the
skin:
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page
9 before cleaning, removing, or installing a
spray tip and whenever you are instructed to
relieve pressure.
Do not wipe fluid buildup off the gun or spray tip
until pressure is relieved.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the gun:
Never immerse the gun in solvent as this could
damage packings and allow solvent in the air
passages.
Do not use metal tools to clean holes in the spray
tip.
