SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, 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 surgi-

cal treatment.

• Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.

• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.

• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking,
or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be
aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Ground all equipment in the work area.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gaso­line.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.

• Do not exceed the maximum air input pressure.

• Fill slowly to avoid over pressurizing reservoir.

• Use tubing, hoses and other components with pressure ratings equal to or higher than the pump
rating.

Warnings

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• 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. For complete information
about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer.

• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine man­ufacturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and cre­ate safety hazards.

• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.

• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, includ­ing eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective equipment includes
but is not limited to:

• Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.

• Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufac­turer.

Installation

Installation

The meters must be installed in-line as part of a dispense system as shown in Fig. 1. The typical installation shown
is only a guide for selecting and installing an in-line meter; it is not an actual system design. Contact your Graco dis­tributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your needs.

NOTICE

Do not use PTFE tape on threaded connections to
the meter. Such use could contribute to over-tight-

All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified elec­trician and comply with all local codes and regula­tions.

Do not use the IM5 In-line Electronic Meter in sys­tems where the operating pressure exceeds the max­imum pressure of the meter or any other component
in the system.

crack. Standard pipe thread compound is recom­mended.

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.

Pump: follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Air and fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions.

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: hold metal part of the dispense

valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the valve.

Installation

Factory Settings

The meter is factory calibrated for 10W-30 oil, and the
default unit of measurement is quarts. For other fluids
and different units of measurement, see Changing the
Measurement Units and Calibration Factor on page 8.
