Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment, personnel in or close to the spray area, the object being sprayed, and all
other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. See Grounding on page 5.
D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable vapors from the solvent or the fluid
being sprayed.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area.

distributor.
D Do not alter or modify this equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.
D Check the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
D Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component. This pack-
age has a 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) maximum working pressure.
D Use fluids that are compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the Technical Data section of
all the equipment manuals. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
D Route the hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces. Do not
expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 180_F (82_C) or below –40_F (–40_C).
D Do not use the hoses to pull equipment.
D Do not move pressurized equipment.
D Wear hearing protection when operating this equipment.
D Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and other safety regulations.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause a serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the
skin, swallowed, or inhaled.
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of the hazardous fluid according to all
local, state, and national guidelines.
D Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respirator.
D If the pump diaphragm fails, hazardous fluid may be exhausted along with the air.

WARNING
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can
cause serious injury or death if splashed
in the eyes or on the skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
D Read TOXIC FLUID HAZARD on page 3.
D Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with
the equipment wetted parts. Refer to the Technical Data section of all equipment manuals.
Read the fluid and solvent manufacturer’s
warnings.
Preparing the Operator
Anybody who operates this system should be trained
in the safe, efficient operation of all system
components. At a minimum, all operators should
thoroughly read the safety, setup, and operation
sections of this manual.
Preparing the Site
D Use a compressor capable of delivering 40 cfm
(1.12 m3) and a minimum of 80 psi (552 kPa,
5.4 bar) for efficient operation.
D Clear obstacles and debris that could cause an
unsafe operating environment.
D Run a 1/2 in. I.D. air line from your compressed air
supply to the pump location. Be sure the air is dry
and filtered.
D When the bleed-type master air valve (K) is closed
and the pump air regulator is opened, it relieves all
air pressure to the system components.
D Ventilate the spray booth.
General Information
D Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories,
available from your Graco distributor. See the
Product Data Sheet for this package, Form No.
305898. If you supply your own accessories, be
sure they are adequately sized and pressure rated
for your system.
D Reference numbers and letters in parentheses refer
to the callouts in the figures and the parts lists on
pages 10 and 12.
WARNING
To prevent hazardous concentrations of toxic
and/or flammable vapors, spray only in a properly
ventilated spray booth. Never operate the spray
gun unless ventilation fans are operating.
Check and follow all of the national, state, and local
codes regarding air exhaust velocity requirements.
