Installation
Supplied Components
Refer to Fig. 2 for a typical installation of an airless
system.
WARNING
A red-handled bleed-type master air valve (14) and
a fluid drain valve (7) are supplied in your system.
These accessories help reduce the risk of serious
injury, including fluid injection and splashing of fluid
in the eyes or on the skin, and injury from moving
parts if you are adjusting or repairing the pump.
The red-handled bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped between this valve and the pump
after the air is shut off. Trapped air can cause the
pump to cycle unexpectedly. Locate the valve close
to the pump.
The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid pressure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun.
Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be
sufficient.
The red-handled bleed-type master air valve
(14) is required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor when the valve is
closed (see the WARNING above). Be sure the
bleed valve is easily accessible from the pump, and
is located downstream from the air regulator.
System Accessories
Air and Fluid Hoses
Be sure all air hoses (A) and fluid hoses (G) are properly sized and pressure-rated for your system. Use
only electrically conductive hoses.
1. Connect one end of the fluid line (G) to the filter
outlet swivel. Connect a fluid hose to each gun (H).
Install a fluid shutoff valve (J) at each gun drop.
Do not install the spray tip in the gun yet.
2. Close the red-handled bleed valve (14) and air
regulator (8). Connect the air hose (A) to the
swivel inlet of the air manifold (15).
Air Line Accessories
1. Install an air line filter (B) in the main air line, to
remove harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply.
The air regulator (8) controls pump speed and
outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to the
pump. Locate the regulator close to the pump, but
upstream from the red-handled bleed-type master
air valve (14).
The air manifold (15) has a swivel air inlet. It
mounts to the cart, and provides ports for connecting lines to air-powered accessories.
The fluid filter (4) includes a 60 mesh (250 mi-
cron) stainless steel element to filter particles from
the fluid as it leaves the pump.
The fluid drain valve (7) is required in your sys-
tem to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun
(see the WARNING above).
The suction hose (24) and tube (25) allow the
pump to draw fluid from a 200 liter (55 gallon)
drum.
2. Install a second bleed valve (C) in the main air
line, to isolate the accessories for servicing.
3. Install a drain valve (D) at the bottom of each air
line drop, to drain off moisture.
4. To provide automatic lubrication of the air motor,
install an air line lubricator (E) downstream from
the red-handled bleed-type master air valve (14).
5. Install a pump runaway valve (F). The runaway
valve will automatically shut off the air to the pump
if the pump starts running too fast. A pump that
runs too fast can be seriously damaged.

Operation/Maintenance
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
SKIN 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 tips.
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.
2. Shut off the air supply to the pump.
3. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
your system).
4. Unlock the gun trigger safety.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
Packing Nut/Wet-Cup
Before starting, fill the packing nut (U) 1/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent.
See Fig. 7.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure at left.
The packing nut is torqued at the factory and is ready
for operation. If it becomes loose and there is leaking
from the throat packings, relieve pressure, then tighten
the nut as specified in your separate pump manual. Do
this whenever necessary. Do not overtighten the
packing nut.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
Pumps are tested with lightweight oil which is left in to
protect the pump parts. To prevent contamination of
the fluid, flush the pump with a compatible solvent
before using it.
6. Lock the gun trigger safety.
7. Open the drain valve (required in your system),
having a container ready to catch the drainage.
8. Leave the drain valve open until you are 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 the
tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.

Operation/Maintenance
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
1. Be sure the air regulator and bleed-type master air
valve are closed.
NOTE: Do not install the spray tip yet!
2. Open the bleed-type master air valve.
3. Hold a metal part of the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail and trigger the gun.
4. Slowly open the air regulator until the pump starts.
5. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until all the air is
pushed out of the fluid lines.
6. Release the gun trigger and lock the trigger safety;
the pump will stall against the pressure.
7. With the pump and lines primed, and with adequate air pressure and volume supplied, the pump
will start and stop as the spray gun is triggered and
released.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
9. Use the air regulator to control the pump speed
and fluid pressure. Always use the lowest pressure
necessary to achieve the desired results. Higher
pressures waste fluid and cause premature wear
of the pump packings and spray tip.
CAUTION
Do not allow the pump to run dry. It will quickly
accelerate to a high speed, causing damage. If your
pump is running too fast, stop it immediately and
check the fluid supply. If the container is empty and
air has been pumped into the lines, refill the container and prime the pump and the lines, or flush and
leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Eliminate all
air from the fluid system.
Heated Circulating Systems
Operating instructions for a heated circulating system
are provided in the Viscon HP Heater manual,
309524. Read and understand all warnings and in-
structions in the heater manual before operating a
heated system.
1. The three-way ball valve (40) selects either fluid
circulation or draining. To circulate fluid back to the
pump, turn the handle toward the CIRC end of the
valve.
8. Relieve the pressure, then install the spray tip in
the gun.
2. To drain the fluid, turn the handle toward the
DRAIN end.
15307932
Operation/Maintenance
Shutdown and Care of the Pump
CAUTION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
For overnight shutdown, stop the pump at the bottom
of its stroke to prevent fluid from drying on the exposed displacement rod and damaging the throat
packings. Relieve the pressure.
Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the
displacement rod. See Flushing below.
Flushing
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before flushing, read the section FIRE
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4.
Be sure the entire system and flushing
pails are properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding on page 5.
Never leave water or water-base fluid in the pump
overnight. If you are pumping water-base fluid, flush
with water first, then with a rust inhibitor such as
mineral spirits. Relieve the pressure, but leave the
rust inhibitor in the pump to protect the parts from
corrosion.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 14.
1. Relieve the pressure.
2. Remove the spray tip from the gun.
3. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail.
4. Start the pump. Always use the lowest possible
fluid pressure when flushing.
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid you
are pumping and with the wetted parts in your system.
