*
an even paint supply to the roller and typically does not exceed
300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar).

Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause the equipment to rupture or
malfunction and result in serious injury.
To help prevent injury
Do not modify the extension tube or roller
frame or use parts not designed for this
equipment.
Do not use 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents in this or
any other pressurized aluminum equipment.
Such use could result in a chemical reaction,
with the possibility of explosion.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open
flames or sparks can cause a hazardous
condition and result in a fire or explosion and
serious injury.
To help prevent injury from fire or explosion
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the
buildup of flammable fumes from flushing
fluids or the coating being applied.
Keep the application area free of debris,
including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
INSTRUCTIONS
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
If high-pressure fluid pierces your skin, the injury
might look like “just a cut”. But it is a serious
wound. Get immediate surgical treatment.
To help prevent injection
Keep your hands and body away form the
roller frame when flushing. High pressure
fluid emitted from the holes in the frame
could cause an injection injury.
Always relieve pressure before you check or
repair leaks and when you turn off pump or stop
painting.
Never use components rated less than system
Maximum Working Pressure.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Failure to observe the electrical hazards described
below could result in serious injury, including burns
or electrocution.
To help prevent harmful electrical shock
Avoid contact with power lines.
Follow all grounding instructions in your
separate pump instruction manual, and
comply with all local, state, and national fire,
electrical, and safety regulations.
Use only Graco paint hoses.

follow this procedure whenever
you stop painting.
psi/MPa/bar
1. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY ON
position (Fig. 1).
2. Shut off power to pump.
When connecting EvenFlow roller frame to the
Contractor Inline Valve, use a wrench to tighten.
3. Turn prime/spray valve to PRIME position to
relieve pressure in system.
4. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY OFF
position, and trigger inline valve to relieve any
pressure in hose.
5. Put inline valve trigger safety in SAFETY ON
position, and keep pump prime/spray valve in
PRIME position until you paint again.
